| How to Connect Surge Protector and Power Conditioner @OP, I think Tuberist is trying to give you some sound advice.I installed a surge protector at my Mains, and think it money well spent.Though it is sacrificial, I feel protecting all equipment downstream an important consideration.After that, impl... | |
| New Speaker Conundrum - Vandy's, Spendors, Salk, Ascend - Mainstream or ID @jdal I need to go visit Bache Audio, too. Especially as I get my hair cut nearby.I went to the NY Audio show. The Bache were good.(The QLN was very impressive, but I think it was hindered by either the equipment( Vincent, I think) or interconnect... | |
| Fixing woofer, should I replicate actions on matching speaker woofer too? Repairing rubber surrounds on older woofers is pretty common.Had I know years ago, I wouldn't have thrown out my old Tamanton's...In any case, I think replacing both surrounds makes sense, as they will degrade with time.As far as the interior wiri... | |
| New Speaker Conundrum - Vandy's, Spendors, Salk, Ascend - Mainstream or ID Ribbon tweeters never worked for me.Since you like the Vandy's I would stay with them.The ProAc are very good, and if I were in a pinch, I would get them, but the Treo's with subs or the Quatro's are much better in my opinion.Bob | |

My Amplifier or Speakers I find this one a 'toughie' as both components are top notch pieces of equipment.For me, if I love the Maggie sound (and I do), I would keep them.The Mac amp has plenty of power and perhaps another amp might yield a different sound, but I would su... | |

| Manufacturer Repaired Dropped Integrated Amplifier - Should I Be Concerned? If the manufacturer signs off on the repair, I don't see any reason to doubt it will function as new.If the unit sustained cosmetic damage that wasn't repaired, only then would I ask for a discount.Bob | |
| Upgraded Atma-Sphere MA-1 from 3.0 to 3.3 PM-ed you.B | |
| Upgraded Atma-Sphere MA-1 from 3.0 to 3.3 I just traded in my MP-3 for a MP-1 only because my Ayre KX-R bested it.If I were you, I would keep an eye out for a used MP-1. That way you'll never have to upgrade again.Bob | |
| Audioquest vs. Others I just auditioned some of the newest AQ cables- with some very high prices, and can say that they are unbelievably great.In my opinion, AQ prices their cables realistically with regard to their capabilities. That being said, as you work your way t... | |
