| disco demolition night I was 14 and my brother tried to get me to go with him. He and 4 of his "burnout" (a Chicago south-side term for a dope smokin' loser, at the time) friends went and ended up having to be picked up at the Police Station in Mt. Greenwood (103rd and ... | |

| Passive sub for Magnepan 3.6r? first of all welcome to the Maggie fan club. If the 1.6's didn't compare to other speakers in their price range, I would like to know what amps where used? I have never heard any speaker under $2k that can touch the 1.6qr's, but you need a lot of ... | |
| Maggies with no Sub: Fantastic surprise I've never liked Martin Logan's, well except for the CLS series, those were/are really special. They never sound coherent to me, especially on loud rock music.That said, I got my sub all hooked up and dialed in and......Yeah, sounds better with th... | |

| Killing BluRay, new Oppo BR 83 I've still never seen a HUGE difference in video quality from BluRay, from any player, to DVD upconverted well. Yes it does look better, but not VHS to DVD better. Anyone who says that needs to hook up an old VHS player, and take a look. I find it... | |

| mcintosh 501 with Audio Research Ref 3 I had these amps with my Cary SLP98P and they were not a good match, but a buddy bought them to go with his other Mac gear, and they are amazing now. I wonder though, if they were just not a good match with my speakers, Maggie's. He has B & W ... | |
| Help: DSOTM Sounds better on CD than LP it's the record, not the set up, I listened to Machine Head, which is a slammin' album, many times on CD and finally bought a vinyl version in pristine condition. Well, it looked pristine, no scratches or pops on it, but it sounded DEAD. I was sho... | |
| "Best" multichannel universal player right now? I have the Oppo BP83, I was in the second group that got them, so I have had mine a few months, with no firmware issues I might add. It is a STELLAR player, in all respects.Is it an Esoteric or Cary 306 Professional?? Uh, no. But it is a great uni... | |
| Power Conditioner for video I've had many, and the APC S15(or S20 for more juice) is the best I have had, and it has a battery backup.APC does power. | |
| Well Rounded Speakers $2500-$3000? OK, I am going to talk my book here, as everyone does, but Magnepan 3.6R's are a sublime speaker, one of the best reviewed of all time, and for good reason.You can get a set in your price range, the only caveat is the age old truism with Magnepan'... |
