AXPONA Schaumburg - Which Analog products are you hoping to hear at the show?
Yes I will be there. Maybe the new PrimaLuna Phono stage. That's a new produvt.  
Legacy XD series for tube amplifier thoughts
I own the Aeris and the bass is incredible.  
We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often
@erik_squires You are probably 100% correct. Clearly we like gear so this will continue. Maggies are the one hard to drive speaker that I make exception for.  
PayPal problems
I would feel bad as you do but i'm not sure what you can do.  
PayPal problems
@crazyeddy Be careful. Sounds weird. Do not send any more money under any circumstance.  
Fee for home audition
It requires a big investment to be a good high end dealer but some of them don't want to have demo product. I would love to carry a box to your car and cash a $5000 check too. If that's your dealer you can do better especially if you are willing t... 
Tube amps - what 3 things…
@hilde45 My experience as well. My PrimaLuna has been EXACTLY like owning a solid state amp with maintenance so far. None. I have had it 3 years with average amount of use. I haven't changed a tube yet. It sounds GREAT.  I would not want to mess w... 
Low level listening
@jeffseight The Maggies are far from efficient. Great speakers but require lots of power.  
Maggie owners -- Mye or Magna Riser stands
Thanks @krelldreams. I think if I make the move it will be to the 3.7i. I'm getting to recognize my need to upgrade BEFORE it happens.  
Maggie owners -- Mye or Magna Riser stands
@krelldreams I'm reading between the lines and taking liberties but it sounds like the 1.7i worked well for you and given a do over you might have stayed with them? I'm thinking about getting some 1.7i but the lure of the 3.7i is always lurking.    
Is there a cartridge setup specialist in Southeastern Michigan?
@karl_desch I finally got around to changing cartridges. It really wasn't as difficult as i anticipated. Hana ML sounds pretty darn good. I'm not sure if Michael Fremer would say it's perfect but I don't hear anything off. Thanks for the support.  
What happened to Rotel?
An electronic product is having an issue 4 years in? I wouldn't say that makes Rotel a bad company. Typical, not bad.  I am surprised that so many believe that this makes them a bad company. Most companies give a 2 or 3 year warranty.   
PS Audio S300 amplifier- tube preamplifier recommendation
@lmartinez_02170  I am to the point where if the remote isn't great I move on to other products. There are way too many products with perfect remote function. I really should be able to get the volume perfect, not just close. Good luck in your sea... 
Using the Magnepan 1.7i with two REL S/812 Subs
I am running Legacy Aeris next to Magnepan LRS Plus in a bit of a shootout. The LRS with a SVS SB16 sub. The Maggies actually aren't getting crushed in this comparison. I am using a Michi X5 integrated with the LRS. Legacy Wavelet and Legacy IV 2 ... 
Best Speaker for a reflective room ?
I doubt the room will ever sound like you hope it will. I have found out that equipment cannot erase room problems no matter how much money is spent. Who knows? Maybe it will sound good.
