Phono-Pre Suggestions ?????
I do appreciate all of your input. I have been resaerching a great deal and couldn't make a decision based on what I obtained. The PH3 does have a lot of favorable comments and reviews. However this is a little over my budget at this time. The cub...

Adding a phono stage component ? Advice needed
Jim you have helped ease my mind in a couple of areas. I've heard the hum issue all to many times now about Grado. If I could get some Dynavector vs Rega input. Then I could narrow that decision to the point. I'm also starting to believe that Rote... 
Adding a phono stage component ? Advice needed
I haven't done anything at this point. I'm still trying to decipher the best overall move. I did buy a new Rega p-25 but I'm still undecided on what phono stage to get. I believe I'm going to go with a Dynavector 20x cartridge or a Rega Exact. I c... 
Amps and preamps for Magnepan 1.6QR
I use an Adcom GFA-5802 amp that has a lot of clean power. Wattage rating at 450 per channel. My Maggies sing,sing,sing. One of these can be gotten used here on the Gon for 800/850. I also use the matching GFP-750 preamp. It's a real nice piece an... 
Adding a phono stage component ? Advice needed
Thanks a lot Rockvirgo & Oldears. I had a preamp with a phono stage but sold it when I aquired my new one. Your probably right saying that I should get a dedicated phono stage. Thanks for the help..................

Tuner vs Satellite Radio
Check into the Audiolab 8000t. These are really nice high end tuners. And one of the few top end units with both AM&FM. Cd quality sound on both bands .................... 
Was it worth the effort ? Advice needed...........
The service tech Steve at Magnepan is a super individual. He devised a solution to remove the old "T nut" and replace it with a new one that they are sending me. This will require the removal of a few staples so that the sock can be slid up a coup... 
Was it worth the effort ? Advice needed...........
The tread insert is recessed and you can't hold on to it. Maybe a pointed object pushed into the panel beside the insert will help. I have a call into Wendall at Magnepan. I will not attempt anything until I get his thoughts. What a pain in the **... 
Was it worth the effort ? Advice needed...........
It is frozen in position. The screw turns but will not back out of the speaker. Strange like it pulled the treads going into the speaker. I have put vice grips on it and applied pulling pressure at the same time that i'm turning counter clock wise... 
What subwoofer can i use with my speakers?
I'll suggest a Sunfire from my most recent experiences. However you need to listen to Sunfires & REL's with your own ears. Getting opinions and recommendations are very appealing but your ears will know what sound the best with your Maggies. H... 
How many weeks of income did your sys. cost?
I just wonder how all of this **** got past the gate keeper???????????? 
Comparison between Sunfire and REL subs ????
I just returned from a two hundred fifty mile trip to seek out the REL subwoofers. I listened to both Sunfires and RELs. However they didn't have any Maggies but they did have Martin Logans. I thought the REL subs sounded muttery and not at all li... 
Comparison between Sunfire and REL subs ????
I guess I would need to hear a REL unit to compare. The Architectural Sunfire was awesome with my Maggies. I couldn't imagine that the REL would sound better. It's a different situation when your living out in the boone docks. Not being able to au...
