Magnepan with upgraded fuses
I put Audio Magic fuses in my 3.7R's. Nice reduction in grain with the new fuses. Go for it. 
Wow, everything posted for sale is ''light use''??
For some people I suspect light use means they didn't prop their car up on their monoblocks while changing a tire. There are those who have systems in vacation homes, some who have very little free time ( more money than time), and those who don't... 
Magnepan 3.7 speakers + Audio Research Ref 75 amp
Jallen, don't mean to butt in here but have you heard the manley 500 or 250 with the 3.7's? I have the 3.7's driven by Cary 500.1 MBs (1000 WPC into 4) but have wondered how the Manley's would do. 
Audio Magic Power Conditioner Upgrade
Ackman, I called Jerry about this. The lower priced option involves installation of one of the PEA mini mights, whereas the higher priced upgrade involves installation of a standard PEA. In talking to Jerry, he indicated that purchasing a stand al... 
Audio Magic Pulse Gen products
Rja, I can tell you that when I moved my Coincident Statement Line stage (tube with SS rectification) away from its position on either side of my AM Mini Reference Power conditioner, which contains a pulse gen module, the system sound suffered rat...

Ozzy, I think what you said a couple posts above is key. Both the Pulse Gens and the PEAs are resulting in a "purer sounding" system. They are both, in different ways, removing something that is not right. With the pulse gens and speaker clarifier...

Ozzy if you try moving the peas around let us know if it make ny difference. I'm planning on adding them one at a time.

Ozzy, my experience with one was similar. Too bad some people dismiss these without trying them.

Ozzy, From talking to Jerry, I gathered that the PEAs will do particularly well when placed above the ventilation holes of a metal cabinet component. I used one to good effect on my Audio Magic Mini Ref, which has an acrylic cabinet. I expect that... 
What is the best sounding Mahler symphony cycle?
Lowrider, Bis is available from all the usual on line outlets. As Schubert indicated, the artistic and sound quality is uniformly good, Very good label! 
What is the best sounding Mahler symphony cycle?
Just saw the Zander is recording the Mahler 2 on Linn. Called a "new partnership." Not really a huge fan of Zander, but a Mahler 2 on Linn is going to get my money. Late September release in GB, probably a little later in the US. 
What is the best sounding Mahler symphony cycle?
Newbee, thanks for opening the door on the Lieder! My hands down favorite is the Bis recording (Malkki& Karneus) of Kindertotenlieder, RuckkertLieder, and Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen. Oh my, I do love this recording! 
Power Cables diminishing returns
Schubert, I work for one of the largest pharma companies. We don't see a dime of taxpayer cash. If we benefit from university research, we pay big bucks. The numbers quoted above for the cost of bringing a drug to market are accurate, and the rese... 
What is the best sounding Mahler symphony cycle?
Bernstein and Abbado are great Mahler conductors for sure, but the recordings are not really audiophile quality. I still like Abbado best of all on the first, Bernstein on the 2nd, Zinnman on the third, Solti on the 4th, Jansons on the 6th, Bernst...
