| New Magnaplanar 1.7 delaminating and buzzing. It sounds like both panels need to go back to Magnepan. | |
| Tube Integrated Under 1,500 If you can find a Prima Luna for 1500, go for that. Otherwise, it's hard to find good tube integrated amps for that kind of money. | |
| Tracking force Depending on the tonearm, I would try 2.0 grams first. | |

| How many speakers and AMPS do you own, and why? No second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh system or storage? I'm out. | |
| Line Array VS Traditional Box Speakers, Why not just get the line array ? Why not build a small array for the home to get some of that live sound? I guess there is a reason no one has. They are available and you could build a short array for not too much money. I'm going to guess that you won't get the sound you ... | |

In most cases you could use the 8 ohm taps or the 4 ohms taps. Most of us try both and use the one we think sounds best. There are excep... | |
