| Tube or solid state Sick of screwing with tubes. I just want to push a button on a remote and hear music. I still have tube guitar amps, and have for nearly 30 years, but that's it. Down to a couple 5-watt babies from the 60s and 70s. No more 100-watt heads and 4... | |
| Budget amp that will give Magnepan 3.6Rs better depth of soundstage I am currently running Magnepan 1.7i in an 11' x 14' room with two REL subs. Speakers need to be 4'-5' from the front wall.

| Need Help Matching to This System To Speakers If your handy look at building some Criton 1TD-X I believe they do sell complete speakers, also. PS - FWIW, I'm running a pair of REL T/7x subs in a room smaller than yours. | |

| Oppo UDP-203 I use my 203 as a server. I have a hard drive connected to it via USB input. I can access all my music. Of course you need a video screen to see what's going on and control things. For a jack-of-all-trades I think it is a good unit. I've had ... |
