| Backing Away from Stereophile Class A Sugarbire - you're talking about the B&W 302's in your "system"? Must be something better than that. | |
| Rear wall effect on sound stage location? Thanks Sean and Stehno for explaining. I heard Merlin VSM and male vocal is VERY forward compared to B&W Nautilus. There was 15 feet behind VSM and 6 feet behind Nautilus but VSM still had more forward presentation.Must be combination of Nauti... | |
| Connectors:Banana's OR Spade's Viggen - Loss of extreme highs, loss of bass weight - loss of soundstage depth. This is really bizarre to me but I use spades and even with identical wire I noted those differences and could only say because had to do with the quality of the conne... | |

| Round Two: Best Speakers for LOUD music and rock?? How about SIX amps? I'm talking about ATC active 100's. Play 117dB continuous. Very low distortion and listener fatigue.Also Active 150's ($18,700), 200's ($39,750),and 300's ($45,300) will cause permanent hearing damage at an even faster rate tha... | |

| How do you clean the laser in a CD player? Compressed air like Paulwp said. I would stay away from cleaning discs. | |
| ATC SCM 20 SL or DeCapo? ATC's are more neutral. I thought DeCappos had too much bass - but you may like this.The new active 20's are $5,000 including amps. Other than some bright peak around the crossover, I think more accurate and less distortion than DeCappo. DeCappo m... | |
| Mosfets: The way to go for SS amplification? Hafler claims that MOSFETs have several advantages over bipolar transistors: better thermal stability, faster switching speed, lower output impedance and better linearity. hafler monitorFrom Stereophile December 2002: Musical Fidelity uses bipolar... | |
| what is the meaning of this??? Not to be graphic, but flesh as in human flesh would mean skin color. So I would guess all the "colors" would be in place. Harmonics, detail, more natural flesh, or more "lifelike" (flesh) presentation. | |
