| THE IRS HAS TAKEN MY TRANSACTIONS VIA PAYPAL AND IDENTIFIED THEM AS TAXABLE INCOME @audioman58 if you are buying and selling gear online and you don’t use PayPal then what platform do you recommend?

| My New Magnepan 1.7i's sound dull and lifeless on the top end...why? As most things tech, usually the fixes are simple. When they aren’t simple then it’s a big problem. Just put in the stock jumper and hook up your high watt ss system. Angle the panels so the tweeters are pointed at your listening position. Assumin... | |
| My New Magnepan 1.7i's sound dull and lifeless on the top end...why? I have a pair of 1.7is. I recommend until you are very familiar with the Maggies and sort this issue out, that you run them only on solid state equipment. I have not looked up the specs on those Pass Labs monoblocks. But I would use those and the ... | |
| New to Integrated stereo tube amps @joeyga Welcome to the Raven family! I am a Blackhawk 3.1 owner. I love it a lot. Mine is on a system with a digital front end and driving a pair of Magico A3s and a pair of REL T/9i subs. There is some other peripheral equipment around it. But th... | |
