Micromega M-100/150 field reports
Can anyone report back on the fan noise? Is it bothersome and does it run a lot? How about the temperature of the unit. Is it very high and something you worry about for longevity? I was told recently that the Ethernet port will become an ROON end...

Thiel Owners
@jafant I heard the Bryston 4B3 + BP17 Cubed with Vandersteen a few weeks ago at a very high end shop. Being a previous Bryston owner I am familiar with the sound. The top end was definitely less harsh and the sound and soundstage was similar to t... 
Bryston unauthorised dealers
I believe the way it works is someone who is an authorized dealer sells online via a friend or themselves using a different base address from the store.If you investigate around A'gon u can put the pieces together.I surprised Bryston has not shut ... 
Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics.
@skyscraper Some lucky person bought the ML 585 I have mentioned a few times so that item is no longer listed. It was listed at $6400 used. Now the more recent links I have posted are for the new ML 5000 series integrated that have slightly less p...

Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics.
@skyscrapper  send me a direct message if you want to walk with me on the A3. I am buying this myself and have figured out what the best power options 1, 2, 3, 4 etc are for them (my opinion). Some of these posts can get you confused. 
Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics.
@skyscrapper  Make sure whatever you choose the amp section of the integrated  has enough power for the A3. These speakers require power. 
Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics.
@skyscraperThis is a not an answer to your question but some info I gathered with the Magico A3. A long story short, after some time demoing the A3 and then doing more research on amplification I have decided to get the Magico A3 powered by the Ma... 
Sony SCD-1 Output option - Custom vs Standard
@junzhang10  My player so far does not have the detail retrieval of the computer system I use (with microRendu). However, the SCD-1 sounds real nice and I am thoroughly enjoying the tunes. Hopefully I can get 10 more years of use. I think my mods ... 
Preamp Advice for my System
I owned the BAT 42KSE and thought it was a real fine unit. I did not find it laid back as you are describing it. I was using it with Bryston 7B-SST and the speakers were Thiel SCS4 and previously Revel Salon1. Maybe you should check out a differen... 
Luxman L-509X for ATC SCM 19v2/40v2, thinking integrated to start with
I heard the Mark Levinson 585 yesterday and it was spectacular. There is one on A'gon for less than what you want to spend. I was always considering the Luxman 509x but I have not heard it. I may take a chance and buy the Luxman without hearing fr... 
Advice for killer desktop speakers
@mcanaday I am moving into a much bigger office space in 3 months so I went speaker shopping yesterday for a floor stander. I found one that I am going to buy, the Magico A3. I was planning on keeping the Audience 1+1 in the office loop to play at... 
TASH SULTANA
Listened to Jungle and Blackbird yesterday with an expensive Mark Levinson + Magic A3 system. Wow, this girl can play. I am buying the A3 after that. 
Dynaudio Contour C60 or Magico A3 or Vandersteen Treo CT
@yyzsantabarbara  I did not get to Sunny's in time to hear Vandersteen give his talk or Audience give theirs. I was at another dealer, Brooks Berdan,  engrossed with the Magico A3. I spent 4 hours there instead of the planned 2 hours.I did manage ...
