Maggie LRS amping question
I’m an LRS + owner and I have to say that this speaker has an ability to show the flaws of the system more than any $1000 speaker I have ever heard. I ended up using a Peachtree GAN 400 it seems like a great match. The magna risers are a must, the...

Mid-fi tube vs high-end SS

Downsizing for Blade 2 and hunting for smaller floor standers
I have not read through the whole thread but I am highly impressed with how my new Magnepan LRS+ sound. I have other formats and systems but I am primarily using a streaming system because I have found it works well and it is easy to listen to all... 
Cary Audio SLP-5 Preamp
Congratulations on your new preamp. I remember meeting Dennis Had back in the 1990s when I worked in a shop that sold Cary Audio. He was a very nice guy who was super helpful and knowledgeable. I had a great friend who had him build his amplifiers...
