What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's?
Slaw,"Working On It" by Chris Rea might be the song you mentioned.Chuck 
What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's?
No one's mentioned "867-5309" yet.Also, "I'll Drink To You" by Duke Jupiter.Another is "Hey, St. Peter" by Flash and The Pan. But honestly, that is nothing near my favorite Flash And The Pan song. "Driver's Seat" by Sniff And The Tears was mention... 
Praise for Spectron
I'm glad to hear that the monoblock configuration is that much better than the stereo configuration. The Spectron Musician III MK2 is a fantastic amp. Enjoy them!Chuck 
Wadia Remote Control
Call Wadia tomorrow. 
Zu Omen Defs and Ice Amps?
Gary,It's 500:1. What that means and why Zu says that it shouldn't be more than 200:1, I don't have a clue.I know nothing of electronics workings and measurements.Chuck 
Zu Omen Defs and Ice Amps?
Charles1Dad,If you read my first post, I stated that I chose the Spectron over three other well known SS amps. Personal preference to be sure, but I never bad-mouthed any amp or any person. Anyone on Audiogon who regularly reads Glory's posts and ... 
Zu Omen Defs and Ice Amps?
George, You're absolutely right! My Spectron is only mid-fi at best!The question is, what does that make Karan, Burmester and Pass, since I chose it over them?Why don't you e-mail Wayne Donnelly at "Enjoy The Music" and tell him that. After all, h... 
Joseph Audio Pulsar?
That's good to hear! I remember hearing the Joseph Audio Pearls at a dealer in Chicago and couldn't believe how good they were paired with the Thor preamp and amp.I heard the Pulsar in Detroit, and wasn't impressed, but I attributed it to the othe... 
Zu Omen Defs and Ice Amps?
Not to take away from this thread's intended question, but to defend Class D amps: if you haven't heard the Spectron Musician III Mk2, please don't rationalize that all Class D amps suck.I chose mine after comparing it to my Karan KA I-180, Burmes... 
Joseph Audio Pulsar?
The Pulsar is pretty new, so I wouldn't expect any used yet. Besides, they're a very good speaker.Have you thought about a Dynaudio C1? There are three on Audiogon right now.Chuck 
Room Treatments for Maggies
I believe that Jim Smith addresses room treatments for the wall behind Maggies in his book and on his DVD. I can't remember what he said though because I don't have them, so it wasn't something I paid close attention to.Chuck 
Output voltage for Wadia 861SE
As Steve said, depress it towards the 'Open' side.You can always check it by setting all four switches to the 'Closed' side, and then all four towards the 'Open' side.You'll notice the difference right away in the 24 dB change.Chuck 
Still Looking for Amplifier Power cord
Emerson,I really recommend that you try the CH Acoustic X-10 that I linked to above.I use the whole CH Acoustic X-20 loom myself, and I have a Class D Spectron Musician III Mk2 amp.The discontinued X-15 power cord is also known as the Running Spri...

Saw the Stereophile review of the B&W 800 Diamond
James63,I think that the 800 Diamond's were right up there with the Quad 2905's in naturalness. The 800 Diamond's also disappeared like the 2905's, and then played as loudly as you wanted with slam and realism as good as I've ever heard. I was sit...
