| Dylan's Time Out of Mind remix is Stunning I thought the original CD sounded better than most. | |
| DIY Amp I would start with an ST-70 clone. | |
| Vandersteen 2 C speakers with 4 OHM Amp question What is a Penta 4 ohm amp? | |
| XLR & Spades: Which is best? Pure copper, plated gold, plated rhodium or ? Gold is the standard due to it's resistance to oxidation. | |
| Difference in Using Mono-blocs with Maggie 20.7's @raysmtb1 Yes, I’ve heard them. What model? | |
| Difference in Using Mono-blocs with Maggie 20.7's @raysmtb1 Save your money. Nothing can help the Maggies. Have you ever heard any of the big Magnepan loudspeakers, because it sort of sounds like you have not. | |
| Vandersteen 2C Grill and Power Amp questions Creeks can be a little dry. Try a Musical Fidelity or a Rogue. | |

| Budget amp that will give Magnepan 3.6Rs better depth of soundstage Your room will work. Pull them out 5 feet, tweeters in. But you'll need a real amp, Parasound A21 is my budget recommendation. Second choice would be the Adcom 555. | |
| What CDs to buy SuperTramp, Brothers in Arms (Dire Straights), Jennifer Warnes, Art of Noise (if you like them). |
