| Integrated Amplifier balanced PS Audio GCC series is fully balanced and excellent sound. | |
| IEC inlet socket Alas, an all too common problem. I ordered my new amp with a 20 amp input IEC, and will transition to same throughout my system. Not only does the housing fit snug, but the actual connection is improved allowing for better current transfer.Wattgat... | |
| feet and legs Get Machina Dynamica Promethean Springs, cut your 4" in half and make a sandwich. You will have a fabulous equipment base | |
| Tweeter Differences SOME ribbons may distort at "lower" freqs. Ribbons like the Magnepan can go pretty low, allowing for uncrossed over vocal range purity.Once you have heard them there is no going back to conventional tweeters | |
| Best speaker under $1K...... used market Ditto the Maggies | |
| Suggestions on a Musical, Full Range Speaker Ditto Reference 3A, but I prefer ribbons, when they are properly crossed over, and preferably bi-wire/biampable, so you can add an active XO and dial them in properly.Emerald Physics CS 2s would be worth investigation | |
| What would you upgrade in this system? Very nice system. I agree that the speakers are the weak link, though far from terrible. I am a Maggie owner, love that ribbon. But you can get ribbons elsewhere. The new Carver ribbon sat/sub system could well fit you room dimensions. | |
| rogue audio m150 owners First check your incoming power. You might need a variac, or better still A PS Audio Premier Power Plant to both regulate and clean the power. Tube life depends on how much you play them and how hard you drive them. That said, some tubes last long... | |

| Speakers that can be placed against the wall? Magnepan makes an entry-level wall speaker, it is sold direct | |
| Cambridge 840c vs. Raysonic CD128 Unless you need a preamp for additional inputs, get the 168, which has variable outs that are adjustable from the remote | |
| C.d player with built in Pre amps i.e Wadia Raysonic 168 is incredible, and affordable. See 6moons review.I bought one, but had no intention to use the variable out. I found it so good, I sold a $3K preamp! | |
| Challenging Speaker Situation Carvers new ribbon speakers/sub should work perfectly | |
| ET LFT-VIIIB V.S. A. Gallo 3.1 Both benefit greatly from stands- a hidden expense, but then most speakers will.I would add Magnepan 1.6s, which continue to get Best in the price class- see new TAS Recommended Components.I was very hot-to-trot for the Gallos, when I finally hear... | |
| Is it good to drive the magnepan 3.6? When biamping you need to replace the OEM XO. On the cheap is either the DBX or Behringer CX 2310 or a bit more expensive Behringer DCX 2496 |
