| Magnepan Service HORRIBLE??? agreed, while we may not need a blow by blow of how pissed you are on a daily basis, Tom, i would also like to know the outcome. And, i have no axe to grind with Magnepan. But since you reached out to the community, not only to express your disple... | |
| Would you trust a local dealer to help you put I think you could divide the customer world into two general categories: those who just want a good system and aren't going to be bothered with upgrades, tweaks or the latest developments, on the one hand; then, those who are, or become hobbyists,... | |
| Would you trust a local dealer to help you put Burt, Your perspective is valuable. But, I'm not sure every dealer will go out of his/her way to accomodate a customer who wants a product the dealer doesn't carry. It basically means sending the customer to a competitor, no matter how friendly. (... | |
| Would you trust a local dealer to help you put Burt, prop. said:"Moreover, I take issue with individual component reviews vs. system reviews. Brand X preamp may we highly touted and reference caliber but only when placed within certain systems. "I couldn't agree more. Assembling a 'system' on ... | |
| Would you trust a local dealer to help you put As I remember SBS, one month he was promoting brand X as the best thing since sliced bread, and a few months later, it was an entirely different brand. I bought a few pieces from him back in the day but they were things I went in knowing i wanted-... | |
| Would you trust a local dealer to help you put foster, i misunderstood the premise. then yes, of course, take advantage of what a good dealer can offer you. (and by that, I don't mean tap their knowledge, and then buy on line), a good dealer is, to me, worth the premium if they can offer the k... | |
| Would you trust a local dealer to help you put This thread has morphed a little, which is ok, but I want to come back to the original premise: would you just let the dealer pick the system for 10 grand?My view had nothing to do with whether you could trust the dealer- assuming the best intenti... | |
| Would you trust a local dealer to help you put Tennis- I think you meant 'can't.'Schubert- yes, there is something appealing about that, including the idea of an integrated amp today when, 20 years ago, it would likely have been a compromise. I suspect though, that you are only at the point wh... | |
| Would you trust a local dealer to help you put Even if I trusted the dealer, I'm not sure their sonic choices would necessarily be mine. Add to that, few dealers carrying everything- they will be constrained by the brands they represent. So, I wouldn't do it, although I'd certainly listen to w... | |
| Manley Chinook Hey, Stevechamp, ping me at my email address: bill@flyingreptilemediagroup.comI have an older pair of very good NOS teles I am happy to give you - no strings attached, for you to play with and you can keep them. There's still life left in them, I ... | |
| Magnepan Service HORRIBLE??? Why bother to have them shipped back to you? Once repaired, presumably with a warranty of some sort from Mag, you could arrange to have them drop shipped to your buyer directly from Magnepan, and potentially have the buyer pick up the shipping cos... | |

| 5AR4/GZ34 Rectifier Tubes Mr. Tennis: I believe Brimar is an acronym for 'British Made American Range" tubes, and they do make an equivalent rectifier. I also saw a pair of 12AT7 for less than a comparable pair of Telefunken small tubes. Just have a web search. Have fun. | |
| HUM - you can catch fish in a dingy too. I have no idea if this will solve your problem, but I took a look at your system pics, and it looks like the amp is next to the TT and the preamp is under it? Perhaps reposition those components? Try the amp on a floor with some sort of platform o... |
