| Need suggestions on preamp a used Cary SLP-98P should fit your budget, and it’s one of the great values in Audiophilia. If the Parasound is running out of juice look for a used Sanders ESL amp, best amps I’ve ever heard with Maggies, and the used older versions will be fai... | |
| Comparison of two High Quality Steely Dan Aja records.... all of the UHQR’s (with the exception of the newest Doors self title), are the best pressings of those particular albums I’ve heard. From above, I also LOVED that 30th of Aja, and it was my reference as well until the UHQR. BTW, I just think the... | |

| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album i’m not a huge Black Sabbath fan, but the Rhino Numbered remaster of their self titled debut that came out a few months ago might be the best sounding vinyl record I’ve ever heard. The Doors - Analogue Productions 45 RPM from a few years back (st... | |
| MoFi v/s UHQR I have loved the 2 Van Halen releases of 1 step, but been really disappointed by both Hotel California (great packaging, flawless silent vinyl, but sibilant and bright) which is not in the same league as my 2009 pressing that is the best pressing ... | |

| Female vocalist recommendations Tierney Sutton, start with Dancing in the Dark, great album. All of the Ella Sings... Songbooks by Ella Fitzgerald, the Queen. | |
| Integrating HT and 2-channel systems Man I love the Maggie IIIa's. I helped my bother set up a huge home theater with them, what a bargain. With that said, I'm not sure they can breathe in that size room? You might be better off using the MMG's as the fronts, selling the big Maggi... | |

| Solid state amp recommendations for Maggies? Man, I miss my Maggies, and after going through many, many amps once I found the Magtech amps from Sanders, there was no going back. Everything that I liked before got bigger, wider, fuller, yet somehow sharper. The last pair I had the Magtech a... | |

| What do audiophiles do in their cars? Mostly just the factory in our cars, as many have said, they are pretty good now, and much of the car's computer system is run through the head unit, so it can be a pain to change. But.... I have a classic convertible that has a massive system t... | |
| Not Enjoying My Turntable are you using the phono preamp built into the table, or an external preamp? Also, as stated above, it sounds like the geometry might be off on the cartridge set up. Is the phono preamp set correctly for the cartridge?What's the rest of the syste... | |
| Tube pre for class d recommendations I had a great Cary Audio SLP98 F1 in front of Sanders and Bel Canto amps for Maggies with great results for years. Cary phono stage on that preamp was excellent as well, and they really worked well together. | |
| Looking for suggestions on best small footprint speaker under $4K I'm a huge Maggie Fan as well, and when my rig got moved from our main Great Room to a small media room, had to trade in my 20.1's to stand mounted speakers. I've had great luck with Dynaudio Counter S1.4 LE's (limited edition build), and now Jos... |
