| Is an IPOD hi-fi? I've been living with an iPod too, and with a variety of headphones (including Grado 60's). While the iPod is quite listenable, I don't see it as approaching hifi. I see it more like a portable CD player (i.e. walkman type) with a hard drive sourc... | |

| In What Order Do You Turn On/Off Gear Separates ? Sounds like you only have one thing to turn on/off - and that is the tube preamp. You can always turn on your phono preamp with the tube preamp set to something else, which effectively mutes any "pop" the phono preamp would create. So it sounds li... | |
| Any good cdp with digital inputs I've heard that the volume control on the Quad player isn't all that good sonically. You may want to not throw away your preamp yet... | |
| Amps on Maggie Mye Stands - Bad Idea? As a pre-emptive follow up to this question... If placing the amps on the speaker stand "outriggers" is not a good idea, where would the best place to locate the amps relative to the speakers? I want to keep them close to the speakers, and have lo... | |

| Biamping Maggie 20.1s: Amps and Xover Frequencies This from the 20.1 manual:"Set the high pass section at 200-300 Hz, 6dB per octave. Due to standing waves at the crossover frequency, the low pass section may require adjustment from as low as 90Hz (12dB Bessel) to 150Hz (15dB Butterworth). Typica... | |
| Integrated with A/B Speaker Switch Hi Rwwear - I wouldn't go speaker level out to the receiver, just to the switch box that handles the whole house system on say the "B" side. But that being said, you are right about the tape out. I was thinking along those lines too - should have ... | |

| tubed preamp off and ss amp left on? I had the same issue with a given combination of components, and never really resolved it. My preamp had mute, volume down, etc - all these things didn't stop the hum when the amp was on and the pre was off. Also, this didn't occur on all amps, ju... | |
| calling all headphone gurus You can add a headphone amp to the "tape out" of either your preamp or your integrated (if it has one). A second amplifier out will also work, but in that case the volume control on your pre or integrated is in the circuit. Or, if your CD player h... |
