| Pass Labs or Devialet I can’t comment on the Devialet. But I can tell you that Pass Labs units are well built and elegant. Plus if you have a problem they will take care of you. I have no experience with Devialet. | |
| Is it safe to buy from Audiogon sellers? First, I would say that your number one protection from being ripped off is being smart for yourself. Yes eBay has certain protections. But they are not always reasonable and your aren’t always “protected”. Here or on eBay or other major audiophil... | |
| Broken hearted...magnepan and vandersteen @gormdane Thanks for the reply to my comment. I do have the Mike Powell silver upgrade and I have noted a significant improvement. I think the MyeStands are important. They were recommended to me by my Maggie dealer, and after researching them I t... | |
| Magnepan 1.7 i - Amp suggestions I have Magnepan 1.7i. Avoid Schiit Vidar. I tried those and one went into thermal protection. Then switched to Bryston. Journey over. I had one then two of the 4B3s used as monoblocks. That’s all you need. I later got an amazing deal on a pair of... | |

| Broken hearted...magnepan and vandersteen Besides comparing a $2200 pair of speakers to a pair of $15,000 speakers, it would be best albeit difficult to compare the Vandys to a higher priced pair of Maggies but with the following tweaks to optimize the Maggies. These would include mountin... | |
| sellers trying to sell used product for 10-20% off of list price @cowan217 I empathize with your premise. On the flip side, there are plenty of low ballers who want to offer a seller 30-50% of their asking price. That is also frustrating. All of this is what makes a market. The Audiogon Bluebook is a handy tool... | |
| I need some turntable guidance @elizabeth very good advice. I agree and have followed this approach myself. I got back into this hobby a couple of years ago and needed a new turntable for my 300-400 albums. I bought a U-Turn Audio Orbit turntable with Ortofon 2m Blue cartridge.... | |

| Power Conditioner, which of these 4 and why? I don’t know about the others. But if those you listed I have the Shunyata MPC. There is some filtering going on with them. I think there build quality is terrific. You may want to add a Shunyata Defender. But a better solution in my opinion is to... | |
| Bought a pair of Magnepan LRS. Should I buy a Schiit Vidar or Bryston 3B-ST? Correction: My Maggies are 1.7i. | |
| Bought a pair of Magnepan LRS. Should I buy a Schiit Vidar or Bryston 3B-ST? I own a pair of Magnepan 1.7 speakers. I started out using a pair of Schiit Vidars as monoblocks. For the most part they were fine. If you play classical or jazz at reasonable volumes you should be ok, and mine were ok. But if you play loud rock o... | |
