| McIntosh MC501 or Audio Research DS450M for Magnepan 1.7 Is the Audio Research DS450 a class D amp? If it is, I would go with the McIntosh. It has a lot of power and a lot of current. I have the McIntosh MC152 and at 150wpc, it is much more powerful than the 250wpc Conrad-Johnson amp I used previously. | |
| Rogue RP 1 or Super Magnum 99 I had the Rogue RP-5 which I recently sold. The report I read on the RP-1 was that it is 90% of the RP-5. You should be fine. | |
| What Do You Think Of This? @yogiboy I sold the tuner because I bought a McIntosh tuner to match the rest of my McIntosh gear. Tuners are quite a hard sell so I figured I would practically give it away to sell quickly which it did on the first day. He said he has the Magnum... | |
| What Do You Think Of This? There seems to be a language barrier and I doubt he would do that. He is adament that it is broken and nothing will change his mind. | |

| Price to list ad I posted 4 for sale ads yesterday here on Audiogon. All 4 items sold in less than 24 hours. The fact that Audiogon has the largest amount of viewers is what enabled me to sell the items very quickly. I happily paid my 2% fees per item. Flea Ba... | |
| Publication bias and confounders in product reviews - TAS, Stereophile, Audiogon, etcetera I think your conclusions are a bit flawed. I can agree that TAS and 6 Moons are a pay to play, Stereophile is not in that category. John Atkinson, the Editor of Stereophile is a man of high integrity. I have met him, talked personally with him ... | |
| Amp for Paradigm Persona 9H I would try the Magtech, you may be pleasantly surprised. | |

| Where to Listen and compare You have Fidelis in NH, Natural Sound in Framingham, Blink High End in Boston and Goodwins in Waltham. You are luckier than most to have 4 great stores within a 50 mile radius of you. | |
| Can someone take a look at my system? Suggestions? That Kenwood amp is an excellent amplifier. I owned one back in the 70's and drove a pair of Rectilinear 3 speakers with it. Try it, you will be pleasantly surprised. | |
| Jeff Rowland model two sounding thin With Mini Utopia Is that Rowland amp a Class D amp? If it is, that could account for the thinness? Make sure your speakers are in phase, is it possible you reversed one of the wires on one of the speakers? | |
| Can someone take a look at my system? Suggestions? No, you won't have a problem. Go for it. |
