Replacing crossover in Apogee Centaur Majors?
Thanks very much for the recommendations. This is the second pair or Apogees that I have owned (Stages, previously) and until now I did not know about the Apogee forum to which you directed me. I spent last night reading threads there and have com...

First song to "Blow You Away"...
Miles Davis on his "Jack Johnson" album. I'd never heard anything like that before or since. 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Please let us know how this effects the music.Setting them in the proper direction shaped the image into something that is slightly more coherent. It also increased the volume slightly, as though there was more electrical resistance to flow in th... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
I was wondering about that yesterday. There was no documentation included in the box so I assumed they were bi-directional. Thanks for mentioning that! :-) 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
I just got my first pair of Accelerator ICs in the mail after waiting about 2-1/2 weeks (they are a hot date at the moment). After several hours of listening, these are my initial conclusions. 1) I will be purchasing the balance of the full Accele... 
Phono Stage - Passive Pre- Amp: Results??
I use the Mod Squad Duet, which is a Phono Section and a Passive Pre. I love the thing. I got it from another Audiogoner here a few months ago. It works wonderfully. I have no problems with lack of gain and it is incredibly transparent. Check out ... 
Best Cheap Speakers - New or Old
I have a pair of The Advent/1 that I just love. I got them off eBay about 3 years ago for $250. They have been restored. Their tone is just excellent (full and rich) and sounds better in some ways than my Apogees.Here are pics of the Advents:http:... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Tboooe, by all accounts, the difference is very substantial, favoring the newer, cheaper Tesla over the older, more expensive series. The owner of SR states as much. I ordered my first pair of Tesla Accelerator ICs a week ago. I'm patiently waitin... 
Best CD Player under $1200
I have a Creek CD 50 Mk II. It cost $1500 new but can be had for about $700-900 used, when available. It has some very nice sound characteristics: a great sound stage, lots of detail and very neutral. 
Neutral cables for hi-resolution, imaging system?
I've pretty much decided to give Synergistic Research Teslas a serious try. I just ordered my first pair of ICs. I've experimented with several different cheaper cables (inlcuding Zu's now) and they all leave something out of the music. If the Tes... 
Turntable Suggestions
I just bought a VPI Scout a few weeks ago and am very, very pleased with it. I highly recommend it if it is within your budget and you have complementary equipment to let the VPI's good qualities show themselves. I especially like how the motor is... 
R the new conditioners that regenerate the future?
I need to experiment with more power conditioning units, but so far my experiences have all been negative. Every unit that I have tried has reduced the dynamics and detail in my system noticeably. 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Leica_man, if you don't mind me asking, what are the components (pre, source, amp, speakers) in your system that are mated to the SRs? 
musical drummers...who are they ???
You had to know the Rush fans were going to come out of the woodwork like roaches on this one. I used to hear this every other weekend when I was in highschool and college and was hanging out with the hippies.
