@ barbapapa By "RT" tubes are you referring to RadioTechnique (France) or RFT (Germany)? 
Audiomods Tonearm.....
Thinking about replacing my Rega RB-600 with an Audiomod Series 6. Such a value.... Major upgrade, IMHO.

SWEET!  Glad it was something other than a defective component. 
Can anyone identify this speaker cable?
Looks like ELF cable to me: http://elfcustomcables.com/super-helix-gold-spk.html Mapleshade is a great guess, but it's a different color and a little thicker.  I've owned some. 
Belles research?
@gryphongryph SWEET!  Wonderful amplifier.  All Class A amps run very hot.  IMHO, the hotter it runs, the better it will sound.Mick makes a GREAT preamp.  Should mate very well with the SA-30.You picked some very, very nice gear...

You can do a "reboot" and not lose anything.  Just unplug it for a few minutes or you can reboot it from the BluOS app.Menu>Help>Diagnostic>RebootA Factory reset will lose all the info.  If you saved the 3000 songs on Tidal or Spotify or ... 
The Eagles Greatest Hits - Question
MOFI did "Hotel California" on vinyl.  The way it was explained to me, (or the way I understood it), it has nothing to do with the format, (i.e. CD, SACD, 33 1/3RPM or 45RPM).Each "master" has to be "leased", (maybe not the right term), but the la... 
BIC Venturi fans?
Way back in the day, I was a BIC dealer.  Sold the V52, V62, the V620 and V820.I thought they were pretty damn good for the money.  They weren't very expensive.  I still have a pair of V62's somewhere.  I need to find them and give them a listen.T...

I never heard, in 50 yrs being a budget audiophile of a out-of-phase speaker having a bass slap. Correct.  Usually an out-of-phase speaker will have less bass, not more.

Also weird is you said that it doesn't do it with CD, right?  Do you have any other source to try?  I'm sure the Node2i and the CD don't have the exact same output voltage, but they should be close.If you have a sound pressure meter, maybe measure...

When you asked "if the ribbon "slapping" is fatal"?  I assumed you had a separate ribbon tweeter, (like a 3.6/3.7/20.7) which would be weird if that was slapping.The 1.7i is a quasi ribbon panel, not a full separate driver, so no, Maggies will sla...

What model of Magnepans do you have?You might want to do a reboot/reset on the Node2i, just to make sure it didn't get "stuck" when updated.  I just updated mine and didn't notice any anomalies.  
Weird problem noticed today...
I was a Magnepan dealer for many years. Without really seeing/hearing the problem, my best guess is that you’re simply over-driving the panel.This is known as "panel slap". Especially in the bass region. The panel can only move so far. If it’s ove...
