McCormack DNA-225 DLX to Run ML SL3's
Try Classe Audio amps as they work great with ML speakers. You can pick up a CA200 for around $1400 usedhere on audiogon. 200 watts into 8 and 400 watts into 4 ohms. Happy Listening! 
Cable questions
Ehart,Go to psaudio.com as they have a 30 day trial, also usedcable.com has many great cables that you can try for 30 days and if not happy just send back! I think if you tried the PS Audio statements in your system you will want to keep them! Che...

Bundy,Take the cheater plug out and modify a power cord and improvements will be better! Drop the ground on the power cord. Happy Listening! 
Cable questions
I run Classe 25 power amps and CP-60 pre amp, I use the PS Audio Statements for inteconnects and XLO type 5 speaker wire which will be replaced with the PS Audio Statement speaker wire. I would go for the longer interconnects with shorter speaker ... 
One more Power Cord Needed...Advice?
You may want to try another PC of the same brand. I think you create a snergy thing by keeping all PC the same as with IC and speaker wire too! I was using seven different brands of wire and when I out fitted intire system with one brand things go... 
Preamp suggestions 1200$ used
Go with the Rogue preamp as it will match up well with the Rogue amp you already have. Also pick up a few power cords for the amp and preamp combo!Happy Listening.

Obviously Verastarr has a bit of a mis-interpretation of the message...I don't think a $50,000 investment is in order. You probably should look into the components that make up your system. What I was suggesting is that wire, alone, is not going t...

Anyone Switch from Electrostatic/Planar to Dynamic
Listened to boxes for ten years then switched to Logans and wont go back to boxes! If you have the right front end and set up the speakers correctly there is no going back to boxes! 
searching a new pair of speakers
Check out Martin Logans, once you hear stats there is no going back to boxes! 
I've a confession to make don't tell my wife
Try mapleshade cones under speakers then get triple points cone for all componets, will sound like you spent $$$$ on componets! www.mapleshaderecords.comHappy Listening! 
What are you powering your Martin Logans with????
I run two Classe 25 power amps with Acsents, and bi-amp the amps, also using a Classe CP-60 preamp and the system kicks @ss! Classe amps work great with Logans.I ran them in mono and prefer them bi-amped, a bit more musical sounding, 3-D, air, sou... 
Optical Vs. Coaxial Digital - Which Interconnect?
It is system depedent! Most systems do sound better with coax but there are a few systems that do sound better with optical. If you can, try both and let your ears decide for you!

Dont try to change the sound or tones with wires of any kind. If you dont like the sound consider changing componets. So many people try to mask what they dont like about the system and only make it worse. They spend so much money on wire hoping t...
