Speaker Fetish
......I'm now sort of in Bob's boat-- two systems, 5 CD players, no room for boxes. ........I do have a "thing" for amps though-- can't seem to shake it-- all that power etc etc etc:>) Craig 
Speaker wire is it science or psychology
Good post Metaphysics; I barely know a capacitor from a dipstick, but I can easily tell differences between wires just by listening, at least when differences exsist within the 20HZ to 20KHZ range. There is nothing unusual or exotic about my abili... 
PS Audio Ultimate outlet
Hi Dugg; I looked in on the VansEvers site, and yeah the Unlimiter looks good, but the PS Audio Ultimate outlet also claims to not limit power draw or affect sound quality. Steve McCormack has recommended that I plug my amp directly to wall, and s... 
Isolated ground for dedicated line
Hi Khaki8; A "water ground" usually refers to grounding to a cold water pipe. I can see where this may be the best or only option in an apartment building. Last summer I had four dedicated duplex outlets installed with a dedicated ground that went... 
Transport for ML360S?
Ralee; yes, the M37 is a several year old design, but it is just a transport. The really important (digital) technology is in the 360S DAC, which is near state-of-the-art, IMO. The M37 can be purchased used for $2-2.5K (when you can find it). Madr...

Any Famous people on Audiogon ?
.....some of the above are going to need pardoning for their blatant licentiousness. And for $500K each, I'm your man. Ah feel your pain. Bill. 
Transport for ML360S?
Hi Ralee; For CD playback, I use a ML 37 transport with ML 360S DAC-- a tremendous and highly recommended combination for CD playback. And of course, the 360S DAC will already decode 24/96 signals. To connect these two, I use a Cardas AES/EBU digi... 
Where to find ProAc 2.5 s or 1.5 s
Audio-Logic in Des Moines, Iowa is very good to deal with and they carry Proac. www.audio-logic.com Good Hunting. Craig 
Multi channel much better than stereo?
Hi Urban; after starting such a potentially inflammatory thread (actually two threads), I would think you should at least have the courtesy to follow it with an "IMO" (In My Opinion). But as is, you've sort of set yourself up as the "ultimate auth... 
Advice on upgraded system
Hi Stvr; I have Levinson's 37 transport and 360S DAC, but of course not the rest of your system. Looks to me like you could really have an excellent sounding system, but I agree with Steve above in that it will take awhile to break in and "voice" ...

I agree with the above posts re: this excellent thread. Thanks Sean, for the time and effort it took to put your correction table together for the RS SPL meter. I copied the thread. Thanks, Craig.
