| Phono stage upgrade with Grado Reference Either of those choices you mention will sound great. I have heard, and really love the Grado with their cartridges, and it's comparatively cheap. I love the Performance, I think it's one of the best values in audio. The CMB makes it dead quiet, g... | |
| End to All Power Problems Big Oil will be behind this like you wouldn't believe. Big oil also is big natural gas, and domestically. It would be the biggest profit making venture of all time. Now IPP's (independent power producers) and large regulated power companies (FPL, ... | |
| End to All Power Problems these are not solar cells, and they don't need any gov't incentives to get them going. The marginal cost to use this technology is projected to be lower than buying power from the grid, and use less infrastructure.To me this is not a "green" play,... | |

| what amp goes best with speakers ? put a nice small sub with the Maggies, and add a tube preamp and vinyl, and that will blow your doors off. I love the sound of the Anthony Gallo stuff as well. I think it's very neutral, and sounds good with most anything. | |
| Need Coaching re: Maggies & Subs I've tried many, many subs with my Maggies (JL Audio, Rel, Velodyne DD, SVS, Sunfire, Vandersteen, Martin Logan...), and I just got a Definitive Technology Supercube I ( I was going to buy 2, but am sticking with one), and it's awesome.You can use... | |
