| Sorry, it’s not me, it’s you? I have. Bought an integrated amp from a very well-known manufacturer who was testing having this product made in China instead of the USA. Low cost (for the make), still a fairly high cost for me. Big mistake. Never liked the sound. Tried for a ye... | |
| What Do You Think? Maggies need current and space. Without those two things they will not sound as good as they are capable of.You said you "don't really have the room for (them)".The room and the setup will give half of what you will hear.Don't buy them. | |

| Schiit Freya+ vs. high end (e.g., Mcintosh) ? I've had the original Freya for several years, using the tube stage exclusively, and have never felt the need for anything different. It's a really nice-sounding pre, IMO. |
