     Ah, I missed that being mentioned. Good, then that should be a very low repair bill, indeed.Tim 
Levinson 5805
nomoney,     As you're well aware, the 5805 is excellent.  After comparing some speakers through one at a local dealer, I liked it so much I bought a pre-owned Levinson 326S preamp for $5K just to try and capture some of the magic in combination w...

Hello mrdecibel,     Georgehifi is predictable and a pest, but I still like him, too.   
Magnepan LRS compared to the .7 or the 1.7i ?
    I agree, cost is important and it's basically a matter of options and choices.      I think highly of REL subs in general, but my main concern for Angel/ rankaudio is whether a pair of REL T5i subs specifically are the best option for his syst...

monstertruck9882,    Sorry, I confused you with another poster that had a class D amp with a hum. My mistake.    FYI: Erik was referring to georgehifi, an Australian guy who invariably posts on class D threads claiming that the switching signal... 
Magnepan LRS compared to the .7 or the 1.7i ?
Hello rankaudio,     I'm glad you're so pleased with the tubes driving the Maggies but there's still quite a bit of bass on your sources that you're not hearing.  Humans are capable of hearing bass tones down to as deep as 20Hz and we're unable to... 
Has anyone seen this...?
     Don't misunderstand, I think a lot of us like Steve, his knowledge,quirkiness,podcasts and enthusiasm, at least I do. He reminds me of his fellow neurotic New Yorker, Woody Allen, and sometimes it's best if we don't know all the vast and pain... 
Has anyone seen this...?
I believe it takes a certain combination of personality traits to first create such a disorganized mess of a listening room and, second, the daily acceptance of such a room without succumbing to the notion that you may want to straighten things up...

Hello monstertruck9882,     You've discovered the impressive world of modern class D amps.  In my opinion, the least expensive method to attain true high-end sound quality.  There are currently numerous very good quality class D amps available at ...

Subwoofers and Phase Question For You Sub Experts
     Audiologic's procedure for properly setting the phase control is the best I've found thus far.         With phase, it's usually easier to identify the setting that is most 'out of phase' ( the worst or least bass) than identifying the setti... 
Magnepan LRS compared to the .7 or the 1.7i ?
Hello Angel,    Excellent! I'm glad you're digging it so much.    Wow, I had no idea you were using an all tube setup with a Bob Latino Dynaco ST-70 amp, KT88 or EL34? Stock tubes? It's amazing that 40 w/ch can drive the .7 so well. I'd love... 
Subwoofer pairing for Sonus Faber Elipsa SE
doitwithlife,     I thought you considered a pair of REK S/812 subs at over $6K/pair a bit too expensive?  Hopefully, the custom positioning advice they included for the steep price is optimal. If they suggested positioning one or more of their su... 
Subwoofer pairing for Sonus Faber Elipsa SE
Hello doitwithlife,     I'm sure you'll be able to get very good results at your listening position by using a pair of S/812 subs if you position each of them optimally, which likely means not just placing them where they're most convenient.    Th...
