SACD to Audio Aero Capitol
IMO, the Marantz SA-1 was no where in the same league as the Goldmund, or the EMC-1. Yes it was broke in. Yes, it was on for several days. Yes, it sat on a neuance board as did the other two. It was not as detailed, transparent, or could it sounds... 
monitor or floorstander?
Hi Fuji, I gotta disagree with Buckingham on this one. A small two way will work much better in a room you size. IMO, a good two way always seem to have a more coherent, integrated sound. I don't think you will have nearly the problems with a moni... 
Do you approve of "How Stereophile Market itself"?
I just received my March issue of Sterophile. I really enjoyed the 2 page BMW ad. I will not renew to this mag unless Mr. Holt returns. With all due (dog) respect to Mr Atkinson, I think the mag would be better served if he would quit listening to... 
Jeff Rowland 7s Amps, verse Rowland 8T1 or 112 Amp
CFB, Please remember that I am not a fan of MIT. I blame MIT for all this cable madness. I was talking only of the amps mentioned. The Spectral in my system years ago made the Rowland sound like a toy. No disrespect meant. I am sure Rowland has co... 
Jeff Rowland 7s Amps, verse Rowland 8T1 or 112 Amp
I owned a pair of the rowland 7s. My Spectral 180 made them huge mono blocks sound like a 10 watt amps. Also, I didn't need to sit in my room wearing nothing but my undershorts from all the heat the 7 would put out along with their wimpy sound. 
Need Speaker Advice
If deep powerful bass is not a concern, try the vandersteen 1B. I think that is what it is called. It is the one below the 2c, which IMO is even better than the 2c. You should not have to spend more than $600. 
ARC...D-90B or D-115MKII? - Driving Maggie 1.6s
Hi Danheather, with a few modifications, both amps are very good. I preferred the D-90, but that was with the original CLSs. 
Who has tried Virtual Dynamics cables?
Agon member Bryceeboy is comparing the Vd wire against other highly regarded wire. Can't wait to hear what he has to say. Don't mean to put you on the spot Bryceeboy, but I value your opinion. There must be a better way to abbreviate this wire. VD...

Nuetrality be damned, I am sorry, but i don't understand what you mean. Is nuetrality something not wanted? Maybe something else in your system is the problem. I don't understand how nuetrality can be damned. kind of like a beautiful woman be damn... 
ProAc 1.5, Joseph Audio RM22si, Tyler Ref. monitor
I am sure the Dynaudio is a fine speaker. But if john atkinson likes it, I would think twice. I bet it measures very good. Please, do not buy on a reviewer's say so. You will get much more useful information from some of the Agon members than you ... 
Safe audiogon transactions; lowering the bar.
i will do what ever i can to make the buyer happy. i also want the seller to do the same. I will NEVER buy or sell COD. Exchange telephone numbers and ask as many questions as needed. I will not deal with anyone who is not an Audiogon member. I al...

Sincerely, I remain clueless. Cluless is hardley cluless. Please email my good friend Jcbtubes. He is using over 50 feet of OTA IC with no problems. Please read the Sakura OTA Cable Kit thread. Email some of these very friendly people who's knowle...
