Solid state amp recommendations for Maggies?
Sanders Magtech Pass Labs XA60.5 (smaller room) Pass Labs XA100.5 Anthem Amp2SE (if you could find one)   Also, Magnepan never made a 3.4 model.  I was a Magnepan dealer for many, many years.    
Help, which preamp to buy from my shortlist?
Pass 350.8 better than anything on your not so short list. The 350.8 is an AMPLIFIER, not a preamp. And the XA series is better...

Are 45rpms worth the price?
I have probably tripled or quadrupled the amount of 45RPM LPs I have since this thread started over 8 years ago.I stand even more behind my above comments.  I can't think of a single example of me liking the 33 1/3RPM version better than the 45.St... 
anyone using piega speakers?

MM Cartridge Recommendation
+1 on the Grace cartridge recommendation.  I was a dealer for most of the time they were around.  I still have quite a few, (sorry, none for sale). 
MM Cartridge Recommendation
The wooden Grados are a great recommendation. They are warm and fuzzy for sure, if that’s what you’re looking for.  The Opus3 is less than $300 and it will give a very good taste of what the higher priced models will sound like.  Great place to st... 
MM Cartridge Recommendation
Looking at the specs of the Aria, it has 9.54db of gain through the line stage and 33db for the phono stage. That means a total of around 42db.The Ortofon Black is 5mv. The Hana high-outputs are 2mv. IMHO, a little too low to work well. Maybe arou... 
Radio Paradise has done it again!
I keep forgetting about Radio Paradise.  Thanks for the reminder!

Thank you for the explanation.   I'm not an attorney, nor do I play one on TV.  :-)

Is there and if so, what is the Statute Of Limitations on something like this?

Prejudice has no place on these forums and I’m shocked the moderators feel no need to purge such content. How in any universe can this comment be construed as anything but non-relevant blather that is intended to deploy hate? +1
