| magnepan mmgs-buy zero autoformers or stands 1st? You're not being a pain.The ideas have been presented: an amp that delivers more current into 4 ohms (and lower), or Zeroformers. If Magnepan says not to use 8 ohm taps, then I certainly wouldn't risk trying it.So, besides those two ideas, I don't... | |

Narrod has the real solution, but this has already been discussed in an earlier thread of Cooch's.I'd suggest trying the Zeroformers since they are available with a trial period. They should tighten up the bass. However, raising the impedance can ... | |
| "What's Your Best Price?" The only time an OBO listed price will be met by a full priced offer from a buyer is when both buyer and seller are educated about the current market value of a component, and the seller prices the piece at the market price. This rarely occurs. I ... | |

| any one have direct exp with hi-end hard drive? I saw a similar looking deck at a demonstration of professional video production gear. It'd be interestesting to know if they used the same technology (I'm betting they do), and if so, what the price comparison would be. Sometimes the pro gear act... |
