Magneplanar 1.7 and low power/tube amps
Yes planning to do that and see whether they will work to my needs...! 
Magneplanar 1.7 and low power/tube amps
I'm told the MOSFET's on my LFD will handle a 12Amp load for transients. I'm going to take it into the shop and see how we go on the stuff i am familiar with. 
Magneplanar 1.7 and low power/tube amps
We demo'd a bit of my usual listening CD's, including the stuff i really enjoy listening to and which is unfortunately poorly recorded. The volume was not too high, close to what i would play when i have free range at home in my current setup. I a...

Thanks for the info folks. yes i can cart the LFD down to try it as its not a big unit. The AS is too big to take. If the LFD handles them the way i like it may have to do. I'd just like a set of speakers that i can pair up with the AS also as it ...

Tell us about the upcoming base phono stage ;-) 
New LFD Zero LE mkIV
I still cant convey a lot more detail on the Mk4. It's impressing me sound-wise, and I am very comfortable with the looks. The top plate is now a channeled affair, not a flat piece of metal, and overall the changes with the front panel groove and ... 
New LFD Zero LE mkIV
Quick update. The speaker terminals do follow the other inputs, so my first post on this was incorrect. No big deal.For listening i have done a little back to back against my AudioSpace. My setup is with Proac D25 speakers, both an Azur 640v2 and ... 
New LFD Zero LE mkIV
Too early to say. All a bit rushed (I think also i was incorrect on the speaker posts not following the input terminal orientation and will verify today). The bass seemed a lot fuller, certainly seemed to be "cleaner", the midrange though probably... 
New LFD Zero LE mkIV
Received the mk4 today, just installed but no critical listening..a quick run with cd showed a very different bass sound to my audio space, and a different mid range of course, but just running in a bit with simple tv feed. The new unit is similar... 
New LFD Zero LE mkIV
I've just ordered the MkIV, will be (potentially) replacing my Audio Space Ref 3.1 (300B). I need to trim down the system (maybe slim down is a better description) and am taking a leap of faith with the LFD...fingers crossed I will know by early n... 
Advice on tube amp/pre
I ended up putting a small (30w/channel) tube integrated into my system with the D25's. It is an amazingly good sound, my first venture with tubes so I do not know how much better it can get (the unit is a Nelson image 66i using KT66's). I added a... 
Advice on tube amp/pre
I am audiotioning both an ARC VT50 and Unisons Research S6 this weekend. If anyone has input on those, much appreciated!

Thanks, I like the inthegroove phono pre they have.

Advice on tube amp/pre
Thanks for the additional responses. That looks like an interesting Cary system. Thanks also the pointer on the Snappers. They may be in my price point.
