Good preamp with Magnepan MG3A
I owned MG-3As for 15 years and listened to these speakers extensively with the following preamps:ARC SP3-A1ARC SP6 A-E modelsARC SP8ARC SP10I don't think you could go wrong with any ARC Tube unit as for a while Jim Winey and ARC used each others ... 
Apogee Grand: best speaker ever ?
It is a shame that the results of the Magnepan lawsuit put this fine audio company out of business. Imagine what they would have done by now? Why doesn't Magnepan incorporate the Apogee Technology into their speaker systems as they reportedly won ... 
Platform for amp
How about a picture? It sounds like you did a good job with construction.What is your system like? 
How about a new addition to every posting made?
Sounds like a great idea and not too time consuming! 
Last 4 Years - Votes for Best Speaker Ever Heard
What dedication and inspiration and interesting too! 
Will the new C.A.T. LEGEND be the ultimate preamp?
Well it might be for a while, until the newest preamp/amp of the month show up. However I'm sure it will sound great and enhance your system.By the way, that's a heck of a system. I'm told that the Avalon line is exceptional by many sources. 
Platform for amp
I like the Sound Anchor amps stands. They look and sound great and can be tweaked using Vibrapods between the amp and top of the stand and replacing the spikes with Audiopoints or your favorite cones.Disclaimer: I'm not affliated with or sell any ... 
Help - Mark Levinson Owners
I have almost the same system and have used Synergistic Research cables with excellent results. 
I completely lack fiscal discipline...
Hey, if you don't want people to say,"You spent that much for that?" don't tell them how much it cost. Why bring it up at all? Enjoy your tunes and your money as you see fit!Merry Xmas!Sgr 
Add another sub or go with F30's?
Try the VenHaus cables they are reasonable and sound great. Also, there are many opinions on sub placement. I know that Revel recommneds however, I've read many accounts that subs sound cleaner on the same plane as your main speakers. I think some... 
Old Digital vs New digital.
You might also consider older Levinson digital. A piece like the #39 or #37Transport/360sDAC can be had for less than half of retail. These combos will probably equal if not outperform any multi disc player including the latest and greatest. They ... 
DAC that beat Mark levinson 360s ??
I doubt if you'll find a more musical and accurate DAC for that or twice the price, of course everything is system dependent, and I like and enjoy listening to THETA equipment too. Being familiar with Audio Research and this companie's reputation ... 
Review: Revel Ultima Salon Speaker
What a relief, someone else hears what I hear. The Salons are indeed a superb speaker and with the right combo of electronics, (you should hear them biamped) (see my system under Sgr)they are probably still one of the best in the world. In fact Re... 
Blown Tweeter & midrange fuses Magnepan 3.6r
The problem with these speakers is that they play extremely clean with no sign of breakup. They really just start sounding good (to me) at 95db as I recall. At somewhere around that point, most amps run out of headroom, or perhaps there is a finit... 
Mark Levinson CD Players.
The 31.5 transport will easily outperform the #37.The 360s DAC and either the 31.5 or the 37 outperformed the #39. I've not listened to a 390s, but I've a friend in the business who does and has compared all combos and ranks them this way:31.5 and...
