| "The Audio Critic" B.S. or what? IMHO; these two lines from his GOODBYE belong together: "after several years of very little productivity, I have decided to stop altogether." and "it has been a great 38 years!" Again, IMHO: "Geez, he missed the whole thing," is an understatement. | |

| Wanted NAD 3020 Count on having to replace all the aluminum electrolytic caps in it(especially if you intend to listen through the phono section), for decent sound reproduction. | |
| Passive attenuator impedance question @Dave- "then I say a analogue volume controls have to many resistors or resistance in the circuit at low volume to attenuate the volume and compromises the sound equally...." The stepped attenuator I noted, as most others, only has two very high q... | |
| Passive attenuator impedance question Mr G- Something that may be of interest to you: (http://www.partsconnexion.com/controls_attenuator_khozmo_series.html) | |
| Computer grade parts? There are a number of brands of capacitors that are manufactured with audio in mind, specifically. The differences in presentation, when used in audio circuitry, are NOT subtle! The, "exploding caps" plague was attributed to the Chinese/Taiwanese ... | |
| Another "Roger Sanders makes it easy with 30 day in home trial and a money back guarantee." So does Odyssey: (http://www.odysseyaudio.com/products-stratos-mono.html) (http://www.odysseyaudio.com/sales-usa.html) and; the vast majority of those that own the... | |
| Most enjoyable speaker you heard under $800?? BTW: Either MMg's or MG12's can be found(MMg- new, MG12- used) within the OP's budget(if no one has mentioned that yet). | |
| Most enjoyable speaker you heard under $800?? "I've had 4prs of Maggies, to me 30" is minimum in most rooms." As a general rule, I agree. I have found that placing some of these on the wall behind the Maggies, allows a closer proximity: (http://www.ebay.com/itm/CityBlox-Acoustic-Foam-24-sq-ft... | |
| What is the best sounding amp for Maggies 3.7? Mr M- Were any of the Stratos monos upgraded versions? In what areas of presentation did you feel the Sanders & Pass excelled, compared to the Stratos? Just curious, as to your experiences. | |
| What is the best sounding amp for Maggies 3.7? Mr A- Here's something else you may consider: (http://www.odysseyaudio.com/products-stratos-mono.html) They have been compared to some of the best SS amps out there and truly shine. What some owners(144) have said: (http://www.audioreview.com/cat/... | |
| Magnepan 1.7s in a 10x13' dedicated room? @Pc123v- I've been addressing my comments to the OP, when you are the current person of interest. Sorry! Tim- Thanks for the wake up call! | |
| Magnepan 1.7s in a 10x13' dedicated room? @Linesource- Consider: (http://www.cnet.com/news/new-sensations-the-radically-different-magnepan-7-speakers/) (http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/magnepan-7-loudspeaker/) | |
| Magnepan 1.7s in a 10x13' dedicated room? @Linesource- My present situation requires a listening room quite similar to yours(12 X 13). My listening tastes lean more to realistic SPLs, however. Even at lower listening levels; the room was easily overloaded by reverberation/slap echo, and s... | |
| Magnepan 1.7s in a 10x13' dedicated room? You still are trying to figure your power requirements on a linear scale. Did you even read the treatise I first mentioned? The first two paragraphs following the chart couldn't state it more clearly. Hopefully, Linesource will understand, and not... |
