Powering my Magnepan 3.7i speakers.
I found a local Parasound, Hegel, Sim Audio, Rogue Audio dealer and I think I can trust him and his recommendations. He has a Rogue Audio RP9 that he made me a very attractive offer. ($6,000)  I expect to try it ASAP.   For me that is an expensive... 
Amp Section for New Pair of Magenpan 3.7i
I wanted to share an update. I did purchase a Sanders Magtech. 900 wpc will solve a lot of problems but not all. I seldom take my preamp above 70%.   I had an issue with speaker placement. I have my speakers on the long wall about 4’ from the...

Instrument Flight Rules?
Today I lost both channels. When I returned an hour later I have sound but no lights on the front of the pre amp. I think I may know where the problem is.This has not made me a fan of Rotel.

I like the song I was listening to today, when bumped up the volume I lost the right channel again. 
Anyone with tinnitus or hearing loss who is into "high-end" audio?
I am 66 years old, I have no tinnitus issues but after a lifetime of noise exposure in industrial work environments my hearing tests indicate very significant hearing loss above 4k in both ears. I have habitually used tone bypass in the past but...

The problem did not repeat last night, I was listening at lower sound levels.@mike_in_nc  I'll have to keep a 1.5 mm hex handy, required to change speaker cables on Magnepan at the speaker.

Good question, easy diagnosis of problems when for example a speaker quits making noise.  But I also have an intellectual curiosity. Last night I was sorting out frequencies and sound levels of background  noises.  Thank you for asking. I have one...

Larger than my phone would be a tablet or ipad.  Is anyone running a RTA app on such a devise?  Tablet? windows or ipad  or android?  Any experience out there to advance my learning curve?

I wanted to mention that my phone is a model with an extra large battery. It could go a whole day or 3 with out recharging and features a quick CPU.  That is relevant in that using a phone as a RTA  is both CPU and battery demanding.

@erik_squires  Thank you for that assessment of Behringer.  It seems expensive and not geared for my needs anyway. Also in my listening room equipment list is a laser pointer/ruler.  It will give me distances from walls, or speakers quickly when I...

Have any experience with Behringer brand equipment?

Last night I ordered 6 pair of new RCA cables.  Of course they are on back order for a week.  The speaker only goes away after hours of playing. I'll replace the one right side pre-amp to power amp cable. It could also be a the right side speaker ... 
Reliable Digital Music Storage
By mirror I mean that I use "Beyond Compare" to keep every location with identical files.  So yes I do incremental backups almost every day. I can lend a friend one of my NASs and by doing that I would have an offsite backup, of when I gifted the ...

He does not mention Sanders Magtech, but had I watched this before I purchased my Magtech I would have considered Parasound more than I did. Thank you.
