| How often do you have to tuneup Linn Sondek LP12 I agree with Lugnut. Properly cared for, they don't need much fuss. | |
| Universal Remote suggestions I have used a number of universal remotes over the years. Including Sony, Marantz, and Pioneer. THE most user friendly universal remote I've ever come across was the Home Theater Master MX-500. (This from a guy with 3 racks full of gear and a doze... | |
| Who has experience shipping large speakers? Stay away from USF. I just had a bad experience with them. | |
| P300 Users: where do you place the unit? I have a P600 where size and heat really ARE an issue. I have it sitting on it's own little 2 shelf stand (Sanus) with a UO and a couple of juice bars underneath. | |
| 5 things I will not do agian, what about you? Buy into some new technology, just because it's the latest thing. Pay full retail. | |
| Which amp is best to drive Magneplanar 1.6's? I just hooked mine up to an Audio Research VT 200. WOW! The Maggies do really crave good clean power. And lots of it. | |
| Theil's 2.4 - who out there has heard them? I heard them last spring when I toured the Thiel factory in Lexington, KY. I was favorably impressed and summarized my opinions in an earlier post. | |

| How often to Audiophiles upgrade their equipment? It depends.Some components, like my Linn turntable, I've had for several years. And have no plans to upgrade. Other components, like cd players, I upgrade more frequently.A lot depewnds on how much improvement I can make for how little $'s. | |
| Which amp is best to drive Magneplanar 1.6's? If what you are looking for is bass, have you considered mating the Maggies with the REL Storm III subwoofer. I have and it is a match made in heaven as far as I'm concerned.The beauty is that the REL's are one of the few that don't get in the way... | |
| Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap My mistake. It wasn't Classic Records who did the reissue. But that doesn't detract from the excitement. | |
| Thiel owners I had a chance to audition the 2.4 at the Thiel factory in Lexington KY earlier this year. I am a long time owner of Thiel 3.6. The only real unknown for me was the bass. (They had the 2.4's mated to the SW-1 subwoofer.) I will say that the 2.4 is... | |
| Considering thiel 3.6 but need feedback I've owned Thiel 3.6's for several years. I've had best results with them 2.5 to 3 feet from the wall. You might also consider dedicated Sound Anchor platforms. They really snap the image into sharper focus. | |
| Johnny Cash - Rest in Peace The "little guy" has lost one of his best spokesmen. | |
| Calling Thiel owners please... I have had very good results substituting Sound Anchor stands for the spikes. A little over the top maybe. But the improvement is worth the $$$. |
