| 2008 RMAF – – – all things analog. Well said, Paul. I accomplished what I hoped to and then some, so although attendance was down a bit, it was exciting. And as always it was fun to associate names with faces. I recommend RMAF way over CES for those not in the business. | |
| RMAF 2008 - Your impressions,... If you moved to a single flat panel, we all know what happens.Well, "I" know what happens :-) | |

| Vienna Die Muzick flagship speakers For $27k one would hope bass response is at least to the low 20s...I find it odd that the speakers had to be toed in to sound good, which also interacts a lot more with the room acoustics. We'll see how they are... | |
| Plasma speakers anyone with info? Magfan, to each his own...ESLs are strongly preferred here over other planar technologies, especially for low level detail. SF6 is more difficult to get these days but not impossible. It does have some benefits. Bias voltage can be much higher tha... | |
| Plasma speakers anyone with info? Dayton Wrights had "cells" enclosing the membranes and containing sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas. There is no mention of ozone being produced in the documentation, since the gas filled enclosures were not intended to leak (a Schrader valve on the b... | |

| Has anyone heard the Kuzma 4 Point arm? Rauliruegas, the original Kuzma cartridge was by Shelter. The current ones are by ZYX. | |
| Has anyone heard the Kuzma 4 Point arm? Yes, it was demonstrated at the CES this past January on a Kuzma Stabi XL. Franc Kuzma was present and showed me one that was cutaway to show the inner workings. It won't be surprising to see reviews by US publications as well. It is very doubtful... | |
| Dartzeel or Mark Levinson 33H For 88 dB sensitivity speakers nominally rated at 4 ohms but dipping to 2.5 ohms, I would be careful about amplifier matching. The dart frequently is used with speakers rated several dB higher sensitivity and with higher, more benign impedances, s... | |
| Latest Stereophile - Recommended Components Generally it is unwise to make purchasing decisions based upon such lists. They may be used as a rough guide, but that's it. There is no substitute for auditioning, and don't restrict your choices to only those listed in the magazines. Take what t... | |
| Atma-Sphere Mp-1 mk III The MP-1 Mk III here works very well with the Parasound Halo JC 1s and the Karan Acoustics KA S 450. | |
| BAT VK 600 M SE power conditioner As others have said, avoid line conditioners for amps. Good dedicated lines with isolated grounding will help quite a bit, along with high quality wall receptacles. Ensure your entire system is at the same ground potential to minimize noise. You c... |
