Contact Rega and ask an innocent question. 
You prefer Mosfets or Bipolar outputs in amps?
Damn, Jim I'm going to copy all your posts and make a book out of them. VERY informative TO SAY THE LEAST!!! And mainly in my HO, its the cost factor. I dont think my Gamut sounds better than many amps because of MOSFET implementation, but mainly ... 
How do you judge your system's neutrality?
This is an excellent topic to throw around Byron. For me, it is absolutely essential that Neutrality be defined a certain way. How does one know that what they are hearing, is not influenced by any coloration? You have to know what the intended or... 
This makes no sense, but yet....
That is silly. Directionality of a cable is determined from a few purposely defined characteristics. I hate to say this and sound rude...but the quality control must be lacking if you experience an obvious difference. There is absolutely NO reason... 
Passive sub for Magnepan 3.6r?
Loomis, enjoy the maggies for what they do independently of a sub. I added a few different sub's to mine...and even though one integrated reAlly well (an inexpensive servo controlled Yamaha from best buy)I just prefer what they can do all by thems... 
Keeping Out Street Noise / Sound-Reducing Windows
Jim...I'm not saying. Its a secret that I'm about to put into production and sell as a "tweak". Though, I havent quite figured out a way to glue those little suckers onto the top of the amps without cooking them. DEFINITELY not for Class A. 
Novice question about Internet Downloading.
Embrace the future pettyofficer. In this day and age, at the rate of technological advances, the Matrix will be upon us. You know...the movie. 
Keeping Out Street Noise / Sound-Reducing Windows
Windows? What's that? I live in a cave. Best scenario for resonance elimination. Though the bats insist on nesting in my acoustic ceiling deadeners. 
The Hub: Refrigerators that can really sing
OMG...LOL, I saw the title and was wondering if you were going to describe how certain kitchen refrigerators influence the sound of the system throught the power lines. WHEW!!!! I was considering cancelling my membership at this point!!!! 
Favourite Vinyl female and male vocals
Geddy Lee from RUSH + 2112 LP + volume levels that "go to elevehn" will rid of all rodents within a 20 mile radius. Ok, seriously, I REFUSE to be made fun of for this suggestion: "The Man From LaMancha" LP. Original recording. Personally, I cant s... 
maggies with bryston 7bssts
Maybe "grain" is what you are experiencing Mofi. Though I personally have not had that experience with Bryston. I agree that the combination of the 7 plus 3.6 will work extremely well. Also, the tweeters in the higher end maggies (not the psuedo) ... 
Onix SP3: What speakers are you using?
One of my favorite combination is with my JBL 4312C monitors. Their neutrality lets the SP7 (in my case) work wonders. Especially in the bass. They are not noted for bass response, but do surprisingly well with the SP7. Same for the mids and upper... 
Could use some amp suggestions
I would go for Class D amplification in this case if you want multichannel. You can get excellent results with those Kappas. The D amps can put out tremendous power, in a small footprint and can easily accommodate 5 channels. Wyred4Sound makes exc... 
Does the impedance have to match?
Agreed. But, if this is a home theater receiver, put your money in the center channel. That is where all the info is coming from to begin with. The fronts barely do anything in HT setups (for the most part). I would think that this would have the ... 
Where should I concentrate my upgrade dollars next
Kphinney, dim the lights, close the door, grab a drink...sit down. Close your eyes, relax...and just listen. Dont try to locate where the information is coming from...let it find you. I promise you, if you let it happen...it will come. Jesus I sou...
