EveAnna has sold her biz
I sincerely hope EveAnna gets her full reward with this.  I believe she's earned it. I bought a pair of VTL 300s when they and Manley were still one company.  I took the amps to the factory for a minor repair and met the whole team. Later I boug... 
New vs old Magnepan models
sml19, sorry but no experience with the .7 for a direct answer to your question. I have a pair of 1.6s modified by Peter Gunn.  Unfortunately he passed away and his Magnestand site is no longer up.  He had reasons he did not recommend the 1.7s.  ... 
To refurbish Peter Gunn modded Maggie's or not?
@andrew-benn, one other thought for an option. Do you feel you would be up to removing the screens from the frames?  If so could you send only those to Magnepan for replacement/repair?  It would save significant shipping costs.  And that should r... 
the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile
Sorry, my first stereo (above) included AR-4 speakers.  Forgot to mention them.  
the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile
This has been interesting, particularly how influential the '70s decade has been in the audio hobby. For me there was no identifiable time I became an "audiophile".  But it started with music, Vaughn Monroe's "Ghost Riders In The Sky" when I was ... 
Dunlavy returns
I had a pair of Duntech Princess which I owned for 19 years, by far the longest of any component I ever owned.  That model evolved into the DAL SC 4 and 4A. I chatted with John a couple of times at a CES, after he moved back to the US and opened ... 
White cabinet popularity?
jaytor, very nice.  Although that looks to be a dedicated room so WAF may not likely apply. ;^)  
White cabinet popularity?
A couple of additional thoughts. First, I'm not against natural wood finishes.  I've owned a few that were very attractive.  So i'm not suggesting all speakers should be white or other light colors. My curiosity was if more companies included wh... 
Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please
Thanks pindac.  
MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers
Correction, that should be spatiality, but most likely knew that. ;^)  
Thoughts on Dynaco A25 Speakers
Well, Dynaco didn't make receivers, just amps, preamps, and integrated amps.  So I never saw them advertised with receivers, not that that couldn't be a good combination. I remember they were highly rated by J Gordon Holt in Stereophile.  Also re... 
How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl?
lalitik, I'm old enough that I began buying LPs after stereo had been introduced but while mono versions of most recording were still being released.  I didn't yet have a stereo system so I have many older mono LPs.  As a result I had similar ques... 
MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers
More than a couple of weeks, but here is an update. After initial set up I was positively impressed with the 888s.  So I wasn't overly concerned with "break in" but I played them several hours a day as background with FM when I wasn't active list... 
Anyone heard the new Mofi V10 Master Edition at Axpona?
I'll guess close to $12,000.  Which may still be quite reasonable for this level of performance. I recently bought SourcePoint 888s and am very pleased with them.  
Koetsu back...kind of.
If this part of their blurb is correct it raises a question about only father and son doing original production.  "brought together the original team of master craftsmen".
