Audio Research LS 26 vs LS 28
I've owned the LS26, LS27 and LS28 (and LS2B, LS15, LS25 and so on). The difference between the LS26 and LS27 was noticeable, but the difference between the LS27 and LS28 was dramatic. As a traditionalist and a fan of Audio Research since 1992, I ... 
Highly recommend Paragon Sight and Sound in Ann Arbor, MI
My experience with Paragon in Ann Arbor wasn't quite so great. Less than two years ago I purchased a high-end CD player that I later discovered had been kicking around at the store for about two years. That may be fine, but they didn't tell me. Al... 
Merlin vsm mme owners, Cardas cabling Question.
Stringreen: I had a similar experience. I have great respect for George and Colleen Cardas, but after I got rid of my Merlin speakers and bought Dunlavys I had no idea how good they were until I got some different cables. Apparently the Cardas (Go...

Merlin TSM-MX-r Owner Review
Interesting review. I also liked your review of your Kia. 
has anyone ever listened to a 45lp at 33.3
For a truly mind-blowing experience, try listening without smoking pot. 
Service Von Schweikert?????
I haven't needed any service for my speakers, but I've found Albert and others at Von Schweikert to be extremely responsive to e-mails. 
Perhaps we should stick with midfi...
Try some other cables and see if that fixes the problem. I think you might be pleasantly surprised. Obviously, though, the more you spend on a system, the higher your expectations will be. 
totem et al
Richard: Trust your ears. As for Totem, it only gets better as you move up the line.

Samac: You have a very nice mid-fi system. I'm sorry to have intruded on this lovefest. Enjoy.

Robbob: I have no ax to grind. I just want people to avoid making the costly mistake that I made going down the Merlin and mandatory associated equipment path. 
Review: Merlin Music Systems TSM-mmi Monitor
You are correct. The TSMs I heard were more than a few months old, so I am sure there is a newer version out. And there will likely be an even newer model -- the TSM mmii -- by Halloween. 
Review: Merlin Music Systems TSM-mmi Monitor
Scott: Yes, I have heard the TSM. A friend owns a pair.Tvad: It's nothing personal. Read the posts again because you seem to have trouble with comprehension. My contention has always been that you can do a lot better for a lot less money, and buyi... 
Review: Merlin Music Systems TSM-mmi Monitor
Scott: Have you actually heard The One? Also, you might want to rethink that NAD CD player. Oh, I've been at this game for 32 years, but it's hard to argue when the heart is making the decisions. Enjoy. 
Review: Merlin Music Systems TSM-mmi Monitor
Samac: Listen to a pair of something like The One by Totem and then get back to me. Oh, and you might want to ditch that NAD amplifier.Lloydc: Don't apologize. You are right on the money. Emotions sometimes obscure reality. No offense, Bobby.
