MIT and tubes
And besides, Skywalker Sound uses MIT. What's wrong with them? I hear they're pretty good at doing movies, like those with dinosaurs and space battles...heh heh heh. 
Talon Loudspeakers
I resent that you had to call me a name, Sedond. Perhaps you should ask Jon Valin over at TAS, why he got it wrong in his review, then? 
Using a demagnitizer on compact Discs?
I use the Bedini, I like it, I hear an improvement (and so do a whole mess of print reviewers). Aluminum isn't magnetic, but that's not quite what happens. Ask Bedini... 
Best MC Cartridge $300.00 or less
To "fear" and "Dls": Any help I have been able to afford anyone through this forum is VERY DEFINITELY NOT DANGEROUS TO A SOLITARY SOUL. And John, What'll you do if I don't go away? Nothing, that's what! (I'm in 2000 now, apparently you want to hol... 
Long Live 2 Channel audio......???
Onhwy, I disagree, multichannel will never replace 2 channel as the dominant music format IMO. It already would have in the 70's with Quadrophonic if it were going to, but it didn't. The CD format would have been 4 channel if multichannel would ha... 
What AC Power Cord sounds best?
I'm trying the FIM Gold, and I'm thinking I still like the SR Reference better on my amp. One aspect could be the fault of the power in my house being too noisy, but the other must lie with the FIM cord, for me. It's not as dynamic, to my ears (an... 
Feelings on Napster?
I never kissed the dude, just realized I could kill more birds with kindness, than with stones. Ok, I didn't really realize that, I'm just a nice guy, as long as nobody attacks me. And if they do, Tom and the AG staff desperately want to see me la... 
ACI Sapphire II: review
Eldragon, I commend the detail of information, and thoroughness of this review! To compare these to not one, but TWO other speakers of similar size, is a nice touch. I can NOT believe that you had the patience to compare 3 different speaker system... 
Power Snake Mamba vs. Synergistic Master
I never tried the standard Mamba, it was dicontinued too quickly (like after 2 months, or something). I liked the Reference Master Coupler better than the Black Mamba with either my Rogue or Krell amps. I liked the Black Mamba better than the stan... 
MIT and tubes
Yes, Transparent has won a lot of grammys, or so they say (pop music is mixed in radical ways, and sounds good in a convertible at 100 mph). All I can say is that I've tried both, and know which one I like. You should do the same. 
Interconnect integrity question
I too am trying those cables now. 
The NEW Magnepan MMGs??
I've had the oak ones for over 4 years. I'm not sure how the aluminum would affect the sound quality, but I can tell you this: They are not a "rigid-high mass" speaker to begin with. When music is playing at lifelike levels, you can feel a lot of ...

You have no leg up on me, and I'm still waiting to hear what's better than the Phonomena. It is you who is being quite rude, also. You might want to be careful. And no, I have no reason to believe you anyway. Sorry, no offense. 
Best MC Cartridge $300.00 or less
How do I know that you are even telling the truth, firstly? I've compared the Phonomena to the latest version of the Black Cube, and the Phonomena was much more accurate, more musical, more dynamic, far had less ss "false edge", and was far better... 
BESIDES MOFI WHATS THE BEST L.P.s?
Classic Records, Analog Productions a very close second. Both are reissues of older works. To not buy them is to miss out, IMO. No, I have no vested interest...in fact, they owe me for all I've bought at retail, it seems to me.
