| Newbie Letterbox Question Turn off the damned movies, and listen to some music *g* | |
| Martin Logans are too damn transparent! My ML Quest Z's sound great with MIT Z Cord II power cords, Audio Research pre-amp, Classe Audio amps (two DR-8 amps) with Synergistic Research power cords, Classe speaker wire, Oracle Delphi IV/SME345/Grado Reference, YBA CD Integre.... | |
| Worst Audio Injury !! David, good thing I didn't have a 1" drill bit in the damned drill. A2z: lighten up | |
| Worst Audio Injury !! I was installing a shelf for my amplifiers, and set my Makita cordless drill on a shelf next to the amps while I hoisted the amp up onto the new installed support. The drill fell off, and landed business end first on my bare foot, driving a Robert... | |
| Best Small Office Speakers Got my L40 hooked up to B&W L1's in a bedroom system. Look fine, but, less than ideal. I'd go with B&W DM302's, or Totem Rokk speakers. I own both 302's and Rokk's, tried them with the L40, slight edge to the Rokk's..Jeff | |
| What have YOU got? Oracle Delphi IV/SME345/Grado Reference, YBA CD Integre, Audio Research SP14 (got a SP9 for sale BTW), (2) Classe Audio DR8 amps running bridged, Martin Logan ReQuest. Japanese tuner and tape deck, wires (that in my view aren't tha big a deal and ... | |

| CD Copies...why do they sound worse? I should have mentioned when I posted this originally, the burner I use is an external Yamaha SCSI burner hooked up to my laptop. This set up is great for a computer, but it's entirely possible that a unit intended for audio use would provide bett... | |
| Balanced lines solve hum problems? Thanks for your responses, appreciate it very much. No, I'm not using cheater plugs at all, I've considered it, but there are certain disadvantages to floating grounds. I'm leaning towards getting rid of my cherished pre-amplifier (wouldn't be too... | |
| Best customer service? Mondial designs! Just bought a D2A here at Audiogon, sounds like I made a wise decision. A little service goes a long way..... | |
| Classe DR9 (1 or 2) Vs Classe CA400 ? I have two DR-8's driving Martin Logan ReQuests, very nice. When I added the second amp, there was an immediate improvement in lower level detail, I really never knew there was any "strain" on the single amp set up until I added the second one. I ... | |
| Best musician in the world? Without a doubt, Frank Zappa. Others that come to mind (but obviously aren't in the same league as Zappa)have to include Stevie Ray Vaughn, Mark Knopfler, and David Bowie (at last count Bowie can play 57 instruments, he has been blessed with incre... | |
| dac wars Cdguru. What does the country of orgin have to do with the quality of a product? That's bullshit. Wave the flag at usa.com, this is an audio site. | |
