Old man pointing and wheezing,. I remember when........
In my peer group, nothing had move impact than the original Large Advents.  Next in line came the Dahlquist DQ-10 and early Magnepans.  As far as electronics, early Audio Research, Conrad Johnson and early Classe were what myself and most of my fr... 
A bit too "non-audiophile", but what are your favorite high-end tuners based on Looks?
I have had some of the top Sansui and think they qualify

The Day Sequerra was/is a reference in many ways.     
Burn in after repair?
I trust and have had quite a friendly, supportive relationship with this and other manufactures, and have personal thoughts and feelings about others.  I have also  owned 5 of their products over the years and respect their additions to our wonde... 
Comments on Magnum Dynalab MD-208 receiver
I have, at different times, owned two of these units.  First in a second system and then later as a main unit.  Yes, you can do better for much more money, but at the price it does a very good job.  I have used it to drive Magnepan, Quad and other... 
Burn in after repair?
A little too early in "re-burn-in" to know much.  It was one channel that was repaired and I don't have the manufacturers permission to put out info on them.  They are an established high end company that I have had several units from over the yea... 
Any vintage radio collectors? Looking to buy an art deco era working radio.
I live in the Iowa City, Iowa area.   
At one time I had a mini/micro/whatever system from Denon with Mission speakers, and...
The Denon/Mission systems were how I helped introduce friends and family to the world of "better sound".  My Mom used one 'till her passing.  
Do you own Magnepan LRS speakers? If so, please share your experience/opinion.
russ69 Thanks for the input.  My current space is too small, but that will change this early Summer.  I may just wait and get the updated 1.7.  Since I have owned the 1.6 it would be an easy fit for me.  If I wait until after the move, my new s... 
Do you own Magnepan LRS speakers? If so, please share your experience/opinion.
Thanks for the input.  I have had Magnepans in the past, 1.6, 3.6, 20 and a couple of others, but after moves and selling off my systems I am re-starting and the LRS looks to fit my current situation.    
In your experience, is there any indoor FM antenna that is better than the stock T-Robbin?
Thanks to all for your input.  I am currently in a rental location and no attic or outdoor possibilities.  I will be moving in the Summer to a more remote location near the "Frozen Tundra" of Green Bay.  I do wish there was an online or internet s...

Thanks for your replies.   I had a great looking floor model that was Deco in style but from the late 40s or early 50s, loved it but needed to sell it because of a move and more.

Thanks to all.  I am greatful for the civility of the majority of humans on this site.  Much of the internet world has people that are on sites to make ignorant and agressive posts.  Civility in our country is in demise.  I may purchase a pare of... 
Any members experience with the Rotel Tribute series?
Hi,  Thank you for your reply.  I am considering the two units for a bedroom system, which I may listen to as much as my main system.  The words you used in your discription are what I appreciate in sound.  I listen mainly to Jazz from the 40s thr...

Thanlks to all for your input.  A friend of mine was a Thiel dealer along with great electronics.  For me it all began with Henry Kloss and the Large Advents and their amazing little receiver.  Since then I have gone the route that many of you hav...
