| Magnepan LRS Support Group?! @b_limo thanks for the recommendation and for your comment about liking the LRS. I think the size and price of the LRS is best for my current purposes, but we'll see if I trade up down the road. | |
| Magnepan LRS Support Group?! @glennewdick thanks for that info. They raised the price $100 from what they were (my order was $750), so I guess they're getting something extra. I also heard that the factory is experiencing the same challenge as a lot of places hiring staff to ... | |
| What is your favorite cover? And to follow up on @bigtwin 's comment, it is interesting to consider what makes a good cover. So much of music history had a separation of composer and performer. I always think of a good cover as one I want to listen to as much or more than the... | |
| What is your favorite cover? I love covers. Thanks for this post so I can find some new gems! I like so many, but one I always return to is Shawn Colvin’s cover of "Some Day" by Steve Earle. But my latest love is a cover of an early Elton John ballad, "Love Song" by Melody Ga... | |
| Marantz 8B, best tubes to use ?? @hifibruce do you still like the jj kt77 in a Marantz 8b? | |
| I'm confused - Different music...different speakers? I have the Totem Rainmakers, powered by all tubes. I also find no toe-in works best and love the wide dispersion.

| Kef LS50s - great like me but need to come up for air I've been enjoying a pair of the original Totem Rainmakers that I bought last year for way under your budget, although the newer Totem models are up there. I like the totem "house sound" but don't have the budget for the Forests, etc. I have all t... | |
| Ready For Digital Source...Computer? After so many appalled responses to your suggestion of using a computer, I will have to consider my system as unworthy until I get a dedicated streamer! But to your initial question, I have loved the sound of my macbook playing hires files from th... | |
| Great song to test bass Lot's for me to check out in these lists! I have two references I use when I change equipment around: Trouble Man performed by Rickie Lee Jones (Very dynamic string bass) Afterglow by Lydia Ainsworth (Big synth swoops into subwoofer range) | |
| Audiophile Priorities and Recent Topics I’m neither a newbie nor an expert, but someone who has appreciation and some good equipment. I agree with the comments about contentiousness vs. polite conversation — even if it involves disagreement. Things that polarize tend to get posted as pe... | |

| Marantz 8B Conversion to Triode Mode Help @pauly Exactly what I was thinking. Any suggestions? | |
| Marantz 8B Conversion to Triode Mode Help Ok @atmasphere you got me intrigued about building an amp! I hope I can find the guidance I was looking for with this post on that project! | |
| Marantz 8B Conversion to Triode Mode Help Thanks again @atmasphere and @jetter for the tips on the Dynaco. I had a PAS2 and "graduated" to other vintage and modern preamps. It's good to hear from experienced ears that the ST70 is worth exploring. |
