I had one and was very didn't like it at all. Don't waste your time trying to make it work. If you put it on some really dull sounding speakers, its OK. On good speakers, it just falls apart. It had enough power to drive the speakers, it just wasn...

The Power of Assumptions
"06-02-14: KijankiThese preconceived notions of weak minds are not necessarily a bad thing. If they can hear improvement that's fine - what difference does it make if improvement is real or only in their head?"Whatever the difference is in their b... 
Best DAC to also use as a preamp
That's a risky move. I wouldn't make any changes without having a really good demo for whatever you are looking to buy.

Dyslexic need very easy to understand H T reciever
When you say "way over my head", I take it that you mean the components are complicated and/or difficult to use. If that's the case, look at Cambridge. They make some great multiroom/zone products that are pretty easy to work with. You should be a...

Is it possible to have Good Imaging close to wall
"05-31-14: MapmanIf you place a pair of speakers outside say with no walls behind or otherwise, you will likely only hear 1-D stereo effect between the speakers. No reflected sound, no imaging beyond that. Its the early reflections that blur detai... 
Magnepan 3.7 Jumper Direction?
"Magnepan does NOT have 'bright harsh highs'. If you experience this with your Maggie ribbons, I suggest your electronics suck, and not the Maggies."Then why does Magnepan give you the jumpers to begin with? The jumpers are not a 3rd party solutio...
