Hi,I never got away from Lps, and good quality vinyl flat blows away any CD I have in my collection. Especially since I upgraded to the AT-OC9ML/II LOMC cart. Call it what you will, there's just a sense of "realness" that my Maggies throw with vinyl that I don't get from CDs.
IMHO if you don't have a decent Lp rig you don't know what your Maggies aren't giving you. 'Course, I run all SS, and I imagine the guys & gals that run tubes somewhere in the audio chain would say the same thing.

you can juzz say to them "come round and listen to MY Maggies and you'll understand how tube bass sucks"!! :-))Although I do like a tube in the preamp!!

" I imagine the guys & gals that run tubes somewhere in the audio chain would say the same thing."Yup, we would. I feel the same way about tube vs. solid state, but I'm dependent upon a tubed (Cary 303-300) CD player for source material, and have tubes all the way down the line, and that combo works extremely well.
I think Maggies can have an extremely bright top end that can either be beautiful or annoying, and a lot depends on having a good bass and a nice warm midrange to round them out. When you get it right, either with vinyl, or digital with tubes, it's pretty hard to beat!
Enjoy!!!
