| CAL Alpha DAC - Cool Tubes? Some owners believe the Alpha sounds better with the cover off. One unit listed on AudioGon in the past even had louvers stamped into it! The cover stays on mine so as to protect the internal components from dust. As for NOS tubes, Mullards (best ... | |
| Maggies or Martin Logans? Based on my auditions of Magnepan and Martin Logan products Cwlondon is on the right track. I too found the ML's dynamic woofers to be less than seamlessly integrated. One question though: Have you heard the ML CLS's, too? I have not and wonder ho... | |
| Best Find Ever??? What good are fake speakers...? | |
| Cable TV hum and related ??'s Too many options to go into here. Do a site search on "ground loop" and "hum". Many threads and loads of good ideas/solutions. BTW, my suggestion is to float the ground (using a 2 prong plug converter) as a last resort. | |
| Help with Hales Rev3 Thanks for the update, LR. Glad to hear you have some recourse. So far I've had no problems with my R3s and given the state of the company hope to never need repairs. My guess is the deal with Wadia (which itself may have been necessitated by then... | |
| Jeff Rowland or Mark Levinson??? Thanks for the quick response. I'm considering buying a Rowland, albeit an older model, and will probably be unable to listen before buying. The extra data points are appreciated. | |

| Help with Hales Rev3 What Humby88 says was what the press related at one point in time except that honoring the warranty was NOT part of the press release. QSC originally was to buy the existing Hales' inventory of parts. Since then at least one person reported QSC de... | |
| Stereophile "coverage" As something of a newcomer to "high end" audio I find it disappointing that a magazine like Stereophile does so little to encourage "newbies" like myself. My budget for gear probably exceeds that of others with a similar level of experience. Even ... | |
| Info - CD copy protection Clicks and pops on CDs? What'll they think of next. One step closer to vinyl... | |
| Hales owners discussion A story on Stereophile's site indicates replacement drivers for Hales speakers are available from Madisound in Wisconsin. The article is located at http://www.stereophile.com/shownews.cgi?1093 Madisound has a Web site at www.madisound.com . Their ... | |
| Break in period for power conditioners ? Most gods behave like spoiled, demanding, ego-centric children. They're always bringing plagues or smiting this and that when their "subjects" don't behave as expected. Especially when said subjects try to think for themselves. Looks like audio go... | |
| Absorbtion? While this may be heresy to some, I've found that a slightly asymmetric setup works best in an L-shaped room. The end result is based on a LOT of listening, as well as a great deal of computer simulation analysis.In my case the right speaker (the ... | |
