Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
My reply today is for anyone who may not be totally impressed with Ralph's GaN amps. I don't have them, but I do own a GaN amp (MSRP $3000) for about a year. I have been powering it with a Chinese counterfeit Odin 2 PC and connected from my dac/pr... 
Outboard crossover? Why not?
IMO OUTBOARD (PASSIVE OR ACTIVE)THE BEST TO FLY WHEN PROPERLY SET UP. Older Maggies and Emerald Physics had outboard passive XOs. Ignorantly, if not stupidly, both provided jumpers so short, that the XOs rested on the speaker bases (or in he case... 
Contact Enhancer Q45T
@jayctoy    If you ever applied either you would know that once applied and properly embedded that it would be EXTREMELY difficult, if not impossible, to remove 100% to then make a valid judgement  
Contact Enhancer Q45T
I believe the contact enhancer product sold by Mad Scientist Audio is identical to the sample I had from RS.  It made huge improvements in my system. AND, it's much cheaper.  
CD Transport Question
IM POSITIVE IT WAS A PD65  
CD Transport Question
@decathlon1991    the laser is part of the mechanism which was designed for specific products. The mechanism made a screeching sound. Besides that, it only had optical out, which is mediocre  
Long Term Evaluations of Audiolab CDT6000?
Ive owned mine for approximately 9 months and remain very impressed. It plays well above it's price point. I found it responds to better power cords, coax cable and isolation devices    
CD Transport Question
The PD 65 is OLD and lasers no longer stocked by Pioneer. Better to get something much newer I replaced it with a gently used Audiolab 6000 CDT, which I've owned for about a year. EXCELLENT! I see them for sale regularly, most likely because the ... 
Magnepan .7 Alternatives
I have Emerald Physics 3.4 OB 12" mid-woofer with 1" polyester concentric tweeter. Ive own many speakers over my 6+ decades (including Maggies). IMHO, the 3.4s would be a great fit for your room. Unfortunately, they are no longer made, BUT, they ...

Michael Buble: Caught in the Act- Live cd/dvd  
All in 5-6k for setup in living room...with bad acoustics
How's $1200 sound? DO a search for current reviews of the LSA VT 70 tube amp (with meters). LSA also sells excellent speakers hth

Check out LSAs new LSA70 tube amp. Getting GREAT reviews. Ask them if it's compatible with the Ohms. Only $1200!!! FYI, they also have excellent speakers hth  
Isolation Springs Deal

Isolation Springs Deal
No name. I bought them from China, As to the improvement YMMV  
Amp straight into the wall
Big difference between CAN and WILL. It's not automatic. I have lived in my home 26+ years. I had a dedicated 20 amp to a 4 outlet box installed shortly after moving in. I have owned a bunch of PLCs and in each case the various amps sounded better...
