| Would getting a pair of Maggie 1.4s be an upgrade? while there are many members here that know and own Maggies I would suggest that you venture over to the Planar board a Audio Asylum where most Magnepan fans hang out. | |

| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp Glory - while we can all acknowledge you are an ardent supporter of TRL products and given I have no personal experience with them, I am now somewhat interested in researching them out. I have found that anything touted as having the capability of... | |
| Sony 5400 Best Connection As a side note you will get the benefit of DSD if you use the analog outputs but you'll only get 2 channel info. If you want 5.1 output you'll need to use the HDMI connection but then your preamp will obviously be required to accept the signal via... | |
| need cable advice, MBL + Bryston + ARC system Where's A-gon member DEV when you need him? I believe he has owned pretty much this same system or something almost the same with MBL speakers, the same amps and a Ref 3 prior to his current preamp.... | |
| Best preamp for 2k-3k I've had a number of tube preamps in the past few years including Hovland, Rogue, Audio Horizons, Lamm and a ARC LS-26. It may be synergy thing with my Bryston monoblocks but my preference is:1. LS-262. Lamm Ref2 (this was my favorite but it just ... | |
| Preamp suggestions for Thiel 3.6 & Bryston 4B-sst Many people have had success matching ARC preamps to Bryston amps (I am one of them) but if its a "warmth" you are looking for those ARC preamps with 6h30 tubes (LS-17/26/ref3) to name a few won't give you what you are looking for. Older ARC pream... | |
| Magnepan 1.6 QR - Can the side panels be removed? sorry, hit submit before I finished.yes you can take them off as I believe they are only nailed (with small nails or brads) on. I am quite sure you can gently pry them off starting with a flat head screwdriver.As in my previous post visit the MUG ... | |

| Sony SCD-XA5004ES vs Marantz SA11S2 I have owned both albeit not at the same time having sold the Marantz, went to a redbook dac off a transport and then bought the Sony (I had just too many SACD discs lying around not getting any airtime) so I am only going by auditory memory which... | |
| Ideal Pre Amp for Bryston 3B ST or 4B SST 2 IMHO there is no "ideal" preamp for Bryston amps.Now I have had a few tube preamps (both balanced and single ended - Hovland, Rogue, Lamm) that have worked well with Bryston amps but would suggest that Audio Research products could get you what yo... | |
| Question about Morrow ICs? Given I have never owned Morrow cables I think my opinion will pertain to various cable manufacturers including these....I believe that the farther up the line you move the "better" things get. Now IMHO there may only be very incremental increases... | |
| Bryston B-60R SST integrated amp suggestions The Cambridge 840C might fit the bill - it appears to have a devout following and might get you closer to your target - maybe somewhere between your two auditions to date.If you reside close to a few dealers and are willing to pay close to retail ... |
