| Tube or solid state @spaceguitarist : If one reads the original post, the poster asks for others’ preferences between two choices: tube preamp into SS amp, or SS preamp into tube amp. This is what is on the table. Those who read the post and wanted to be helpful, ans... | |
| What is your experience with the Spin Clean? I’ve been using a Spin Clean/Vacuum machine tag team method for years: Spin clean several rotations in both directions, then right onto the vacuum machine to suck the cleaning fluid off the surface of the record. The dirt that gathers in the botto... | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? Another vote for Music Reference RM-10 ;) | |
| Maggie owners -- Mye or Magna Riser stands @swede58 … That’s exactly what I’ve heard as well. I heard the 1.7/1.7i difference for myself in my own system. It was very easily noticeable. It sounds like the consensus is that the 3.7/3.7i difference is barely evident. I don’t live near Minnes... | |
| Maggie owners -- Mye or Magna Riser stands @secretguy … I understand where you’re coming from. In my previous house, the room where I had my system was kinda too small and odd shaped. Not ideal for large panels, but they still did things that the various box speakers I tried couldn’t manag... | |
| Maggie owners -- Mye or Magna Riser stands Hi. Yes, that is correct. I bought a pair of 3.7 (not i) from the original owner. I’m considering having Magnepan upgrade them for me as I’m sure it would be an improvement, however even Wendell Diller of Magnepan has said that the difference betw... | |
| Maggie owners -- Mye or Magna Riser stands @jjss49 … I realize this is an old thread, but I’d like to reply anyway. I bought the 1.7 and had them for 4 years, then upgraded to1.7i and had those for about 5 more. Two years ago I replaced them with the 3.7. I used Sound Anchors stands with t... | |
| Tube or solid state @spaceguitarist : It’s not a good practice to try to speak for others who have different tastes, opinions, and situations than your own. I ultimately trust my ears, not marketing or the opinions of others. Do I take the opinions of others into con... | |
| Budget amp that will give Magnepan 3.6Rs better depth of soundstage I have a bit of good news for you. If you can be patient, and stretch the budget a bit, find a Music Reference RM-10… 35 watt per channel tube amplifier. They are usually around $1000-$1200 used, so definitely north of your budget, but they sound ... | |
| Best Amps for Magneplanar 1.7i Speakers You say the speakers are new… I’ve owned several pair of Magnepan speakers over the years, and the biggest mistake I believe some owners make is judging the sound before the speakers break in. I’ve used dozens of different amplifiers with Maggies.... | |

| Eminent Technology 8b Speakers - Amp/wattage Recommendations Hello. I’ve owned several Magnepans over the last few decades, and I’ve used dozens of different amplifiers (tube, SS, and hybrid). You’ll have to try the amp you’re considering in your system, in your own room to truly know if it will work. I kno... | |
| Would appreciate a group consensus on Agon purchased amps Just to add… I purchased a very highly regarded tube amp directly from the manufacturer (since there is no dealer in my area). The amp arrived in a generic box, though packed well, with no power cord included. I was surprised, but as others said, ... | |
| Anyone Seen a Feb 2022 Stereophile Issue?? I got mine last week… Stereophile and absolute sound arrived the same day (Wednesday I think). My wife calls it “nudey magazine day”. Lol. Btw, I tried the digital subscription once. It didn’t do it for me. I prefer an actual physical magazine. Ju... | |
| Tube Amplifier Sound Characteristics Man, I love when @atmasphere joins a discussion! I really appreciate learning the “behind the scenes” details from someone who truly KNOWS! I don’t have much to contribute in terms of what one hears as a result of electronics design, but I can say... |
