| Matching speaker cables to Magnepan MMG's for the MMG i would try Kimber 8TC's. Due to the way Magnepan makes the speaker terminals, you don't even need to terminate the wire, just strip and plug in. | |
| Vandersteen 7 Flagship at CES They were sublime. But as stated, they had all state of the art equipment around them, and Vandersteen had the only room that actually had acoustic treatment, and carefully done at that. Still, the 7's were world class, as good as anything that I ... | |
| What's wrong with Velodyne? Luvine, thanks for the info. I just found a used DefTech UIW Ref system, so I am thinking about moving the SVS, hooking up the DefTech and getting a Rel. Let me know how you end up setting yours up.thx. | |
| Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps Karen Carpenter, excellent call. Huge Julie Andrews-esque range, perfect pitch and a little plantive quality as well.Wouldn't have thought of that one, time to shop for used record. | |
| What's wrong with Velodyne? Since my subwoofer selection procedure is so interesting, I am thinking about getting the Definitive Technology IWSub Reference and the matching amp (if I can find one on the second hand market) and trying out one of the Rel T series subs. Use the... | |

| What's wrong with Velodyne? I actually bought both subwoofers. I bought a used JL Audio from a home theater shop here in town that went out of business and used it until the I got the Velodyne SMS-1 to set up the SVS Sub (which was really an impulse buy). Actually at one tim... | |
| NO CES Updates??? Mrtennis, this was my first and last CES. I couldn't agree with you more, and I have only been once. With a few notable exceptions; Vandersteen, Magnepan, MBL, and Peachtree Audio, nothing was really mind blowing. Also, if attendance was donw 22% ... | |

| Most Rockingest Preamp south of $2k used Well, that's what I have in my system now and it's my all time favorite piece of gear. I only mentioned the SLI-80 with high efficeincy speakers because I love that combo for rock music. I don't have that combo, but if you like to rock out, my fav... | |
| Top Alternative Rock Albums of 2008 BongoFury, Are any of those available on Vinyl, and do you have suggestions on albums? Thanks for the info!! | |
| Quality of New MoFi recordings No Doubt Rush is a GREAT band. Great musicians, not just good, all of them. But I can't stand Geddy Lee's voice. Grates on my nerves, but I will probabably grab some more Rush vinyl after listening to this album. | |
| CES and T.H.E. 2009 - Is anyone going? I didn't know anyone did multichannel any more? That's so 2004!! What's a scaler? Don't those come standard on Technics recievers?? | |
| What subwoofer to use with Maggies? the new Rel smaller subs, mabye 2 depending on room size, or a Velodyne DD-12. I have an SVS cylinder that I love. The JL Audios are excellent, and bit on the higher priced side. | |
| Top Alternative Rock Albums of 2008 Kings of Leon "Only by the Night" best rock album I have bought in years. |
