Power conditioner for amps
Well Tom I'am using a Adcom 585LE thru a power conditioner.I have no problems with a lack of power.It doesn't seem to constrict anything.Even when running the maggies hard this amp is no warmer than it is at idle. I also like the staggered on and ... 
Rocket 88R vs v12R???
Kevziek ...Like anything else it depends on the speakers and the rest of your equipment.Magnepans are revealing speakers in a good way... B&W is just plain bright! The sound you describe.. is my experience with B&W speakers.It just goes to... 
Rocket 88R vs v12R???
Hello Brie sorry no direct comparisons with those models.I have spent hours listening to the Cary 12i and the Rocket 88.At the time there were no R versions.The only difference between the v12 and v12i was the input sensitivty.Other than that no d... 
New preamp or other suggestions?
I agree with Sogood51...maybe something with a soft dome tweeter.Good Luck! 
Grain free, how to identify it
Bemopti thats pretty deep.I have one cd Modern Cool(Patricia Barber).It used to drive me nuts because of one track with some great horn solos. I thought the problem was my amplifier but after trying a different one this was ruled out.So I moved on...

You got me there Mattybumpkin! I'am not sure but from trying it on several amplifiers it seems standard.I listen at 9'Oclock on the dial.Warning this isn't a fluffy preamp..if you want fluffy buy a Cary tube preamp.But if you are looking for a nat... 
Monster Cable does Power Amps,,,,,,,,,UH OH
I have to give them two thumbs up on the power conditioners.Thats one product that really works.I've seen monster power centers in $15000.00 systems.But I'll agree the cables are garbage! 
Need help from tube guys to select a tube preamp
I second the Dared SL 2000a preamp suggestion.At the price these little guys go for there's no competition! 
Modified Adcom 5400 or Stock 5500?
Checkout some of the 500 series Adcoms .They will do a better job driving those Maggies than a 5000 series. The bipolars are better for low impedences and put out more current.Don't be fooled by the watts.Take for example the 5802 is 300wpc into 8... 
Maggie 3.6R performance dilemma..
I second more power recommendations with a tube preamp.I just got my Maggies home after listening to them on a 60 wpc Adcom. Plugged them up to a 585LE Adcom amp only limited by how much current the outlet will give it! Using a tube preamp on the ...
