Marti, have you consider just experimenting and finding out what setting you enjoy the best? You can't break the machine no matter what settings you select. . . let us know your findings. 
Review: Machina dynamica Brilliant Pebbles Tweak
I am not surprised Wellfed, the power of self-hypnosis is in fact rather astonishing. 
Whatever happened to Straight Wire?
Hmm, I visited the site and found statements like:"Reduction in electron group velocity distribution and quantum mechanical effects are presently considered the leading candidates."Sounds VERY 'impressively scientific' without saying much of anyth...

Musicman, Platinum being a good conductor of electricity is an urban legend. . . Even Iron is a better conductor than Platinum. Here are some resistivity figures:Silver: (20 °C) 15.87 nO·mCopper: (20 °C) 16.78 nO·m Gold: (20 °C) 22.14 nO·mAluminum...

Not Another NuForce thread......
My apologies Tda2200 and all for my spectron/Nuforce confusion, I should remember not to post on any matters of substance unless I have had enough sleep. Glad you enjoy the Linn Klimax Solos. Unfortunately I find Linn sometimes to be a little exhu...

Are you referring to Spectron Musician 3 SE V.2? What's the technology underlying the Linn Climax Solos? 
On The Feeding And Care Of Vienna Mahlers
Thank you Downunder, I definitely concur about sounding even better with front grilles removed. I am still running with woofers facing out. Tonight I'll try to reduce toein to just a couple of degrees: with about 7 or 8 degrees staging is very goo...

Hi Dave, unfortunately Soundings is in Denver and I live in Austin (TX). No budget for professional placement I fear. My case is going to be one of Do-ItYourself placement. Has Soundings published a placement methodology.? 
On The Feeding And Care Of Vienna Mahlers
Hey Marco, sorry missing you as well! I agree completely about subs on Vienna speakers. In my view neither the Beethoven Baby Grands nor the Mahler remotely require a sub. . . . totally satisfying without one. By the way, last year's Soundings / R... 
Vienna Acoustics Mahlers too big for my room?
having fallen in love with Vienna Acoustic Mahlers at RMAF 2006, I have ordered a pair this last Summer, and received them in early November 2007. I have now started a thread to chronicle their break in and discuss various Mahler related matters.....
