Martin Logan Versus Magnepan
The Mags are more seemless than the ML's you speak of here but the ML CLZ's will convince you that ML is doing it better - the price is more but the pleasure is great and do not let anyone tell you they do not have bass they do and isit is clean n... 
Which Line Conditioner?
Save your money - none - get good electrical wire from the main box if anything. 
Are You Addicted to Audio?
AS long as there are cones moving and tweeters hissing you will not get the noisefree transparency of a true electrostat - check out the new Quads full range or the Soundlab design not the hybrids - even the ML CLSz is clearer with less distortion... 
Help...DVD problems (I think??)
Try it out on another TV set. I have 4 different players and have not experienced this. 
Best Center Channel Speaker
Definitely the Legacy Silverscreen!!!!!! 
McIntosh - is it that great?
It is hard to beat the Mcintosh 240 tube amp for clarity and reliabilty -= the 275 reissue in stainless is also a very good tube amp - in solid state the new design 352 is better than the levinson 331 I use to have . The earlier models of the 90's... 
Is SACD really this lousy?
I jumped on the wagon and bought a Sony 777ES SACD and got it for 2000 from a dealer who didn't want to get stuck with it. I bought a few CD's and played it waiting for something to really inspire or excite me. It didn't in fact my Electrocompanie... 
Best female vocals on CD
I took your advice and listened to the Cowboy Junkies' Margo Timmins - I still want to marry Jennifer Warnes but a few nights with Margo might be interesting. 
Good Site for buying Power Cables
The Cable Company is a good and helpful source - they will let you try before you buy and guide you along the way - talk to Bob - number is in Stereophile. 
Ohm tap
The Martin Logan is a speaker that drops to 1.0 ohms and is not the same philosophy as the Quads or the Sound Lab design. Stick to the 2 ohm connection. 
Ohm tap
The Sequels will perform best on the 2 ohm tap. No doubt about it. I am a Logan man from way back! 
Has anyone found Audio Nirvana?
Nirvana is not the equipment but the music we play on it. Remember when you wanted a 15 transistor radio to hear your favorites with the earplug in at night. Were those really early Grado earphones? Have fun !!!!! 
Experience with Newform Research?
I have a pair of 840 which were easy to setup. They no longer make this unit. The soundstage is good and detail is above average. A very good speaker with a weird look though. 
Professional Analog Equalizers-Any Good?
I use two different units with good results. The Alesis 250 which is not balnced but a great low noise unit compact in size and brings great results. Sells for about 229. The great unit though is the Behringer Ultra Curve Pro. It is so versatile a... 
VMPS speakers
There is a guy from NY who advertises in Stereophile classifieds and offers these at discount prices. He has a pair of demo FF1 with crossovers. Great sounding speaker.
