Anyone notice this with PrimaLuna EVO 400 remote??
I have an Evo 400 pre and notice the same response - I have learned to do a quick tap on the volume keys and have some success doing that. I am using this pre and 2 Evo 400's amps in mono configuration (w KT-150 output tubes) and cant believe how ... 
Amplifier power needed by 1.7s
Thats a large room, how loud doyou want to play your music?Going bridged mono opperation will give you some benifits. Please do not under value acoustical room treatments. That can make a bigger change and improvement in sound quality than simply ... 
Replaced stock McIntosh 12ax7a with gold lion ecc8
Thanks for your responses - It's starting to sound better, I did not get a matched set, I was not sure I wanted to switch permantly, now I am convinced to switch. Most of my music sounds more involving, which is amazing! The only trade off so far ... 
best amp for Magnepan 3,7
McIntosh mc2301's. I have tried many amps, it was immediately clear that the big tube amps were a perfect match.

Magneplanar 1.6 QR's problem
Mofi is right - check the tweeter attenuator jumper. Also take the fuse from the working mid/high speaker and install it into the questionable speaker to be sure. 
Bass Trap help
Are you placing them flat on the wall? You may get better results putting them across the corner. If you can get a little space behind the panel (placing thick batting between the wall and the panels) the lower the frequency it will affect, my gue... 
Maggies a waste if only 3' from backwall?
I have 3.6's (tried 20.1's) and they are 40" from my rear wall, and they perform very well. I would worry more about what you plan to drive them with,(don't get me wrong, placement is very important, try experimenting with different configurations... 
Best speaker cable for Maggies???
Hi, I use MIT S1 bi wire for my 3.6's and it sounds great. With MIT coming out with their new s1.3 cable it may help you price wise for finding a good deal on a used set. Enjoy those Maggies! 
Balanced preamp tube for Magnepan 3.6 or 20.1
Hi, I had that exact combination (MG 20.1's;Bat VK31SE; MC501's) and while it sounded good, it got better when I put in a McIntosh C500t (I found it used, for less $$). I am a huge McIntosh fan, but I did not think the MC501's did as well with the...

Yeah Too cheap, I pulled mine off I had it for $1370.00 then $1270.00 and I kept getting low-ball offers for $900.00! come on they list for $2,000.00. I have heard that the power supply mods make a noticeable difference in the sound. I was only se... 
Behringer Crossover for Maggies vs Bryston
Just put the Behringer in last night. Have 3.6's. Cannot believe the technology that is built into the Behringer for the cost. Just ordered matching Balanced IC's to use instead of my spares that may be affecting my sound. It seems transparent to ...

break-in for Marantz SA-7S1
My sa7s1 sounded good right away and just got better with more hours. Some of the best midrange I have heard from a cd player. Cables made a huge impact on the sound in my system. Be patient.
