My New Magnepan 1.7i's sound dull and lifeless on the top end...why?
I had the LRS for a while and liked them so much I stepped up to the 1.7iI find they would run OK on a 25 watt tube pre/power amp (Cary Audio), a 50 watt tube integrated (Jolida), but they shine with big SS power (Adcom GFA-365 mono-blocks).They s... 
Magnepan, Best midrange?
1.7i Maggies here.I don't know about the best midrange, but I haven't heard better imaging and sound stage.  Maybe there's better, but better for $2200?They are set up 6' from the front wall and 2' from the side walls in a three-sided room open to...

Schiit Freya damage by giving it an electric static discharge on the volume knob.
FWIW, I have recently sent back two, yes TWO, faulty Schiit Freya+ pre-amps.This has nothing to do with your issue other than there possibly being some over-arching quality issues.I know folks love the Freya and Freya+, and the passive and SS buff... 
Schiit - shipments stopped?
I ordered my Freya+ in early December.  They said it was backordered at the time.I emailed them last week and received an immediate reply.  They are waiting for parts.  They expect delivery and resumed production in the next week or so.Hope that h...
