Upgrading: What to use with Dynaudio 3.3's?
A friend of mine has the 3.3. At his house he had an Aragon 4004 mated to a YBA pre. Very nice. Then he hooked up the YBA to his Clayton M100's. What a difference. The speaker came to life. The Aragon sounded thin and lifeless compared to the Clay... 
Odyssey mono question
Your question is an interesting one. I just sent my mono's back to Klaus to have them upgraded to extreme. I decided to do this after I listened to a friend's Clayton M100 set up. It pointed out to me a deficiency in my set-up. I have not heard th...

Maggies & Logans: Why so many for sale?
All I can say is I agree pretty much with the previous statements. I own both Maggies and ML. 
Review: PS Audio HCA-2 Amplifier
I listened to this amp and put more than 100 hrs on one. My real criticisms and are that like the thread going through other reviews is thatit has to be mated to the right set-up. It does not work well with some loads. 
Help Bi-amping question
This is an interesting question. I bi-amp. There are three ways to do it. First make sure the straps that seperate the high end from the low end are removed. I am assuming each speaker has two sets of input terminals. The next question you have to... 
Best bang-for-buck purchase you have made?
I have two both are analog. I bought a Teac TN400 Turntable with Stay UA7 arm in 1976. It's direct drive. It floats the platter on a magnetic field and its pretty impervious to shock when on a stable platform. It has capacitive controls with a 7 l... 
Pro vs. Consumer Equipment
I use to run a Crown Pre with SAE Power years ago. I still think this system had more depth than some other amp set-ups I have had since. It was a little grainy and very unforgiving of peakiness. It did not like Dynvector cartridges at all. In thi... 
Can I bi-wire Martin Logan CLS speakers?
Your question about bridging maycause a problem as well. Many amps when bridged can only deal with half the impedance that they could before. In other words if the speaker was nominally 8 ohms it now appears to the amp combination as 4 ohms. Depen... 
Can I bi-wire Martin Logan CLS speakers?
Even 150 is not enough power. Depending on the model of CLS you own you may get away with low power. However, most iterations of this speaker want to see something north of 150 on transients without the amp going into heart failure. 
Any info on TEAC reel to reel cassettes?
Are you referring to the elcassette? 
Anyone using a Marchand crossover???
I use an xm9-2 Deluxe with Martin Logan and Genesis sub. It can be upgraded to a balanced output. I am considering it. Otherwise I have no complaints. I dpn't know if the Bryston is better. One person that I conversed with on line says that the ma... 
The Worst Speaker you have ever heard.
A DCM model of recent vintage. I 've heard factory car systems that were better at everything.
