| To turn off or not to turn off My electricity bills had just increased by very vast amount since I've started to live my VTL Deluxe 100 always on along with the rest of my equipment. I'm thinking about just living them on for the weekend since this is the only listening time I ... | |

| LP12 Ekos/Helikon cartridge mounting ...that is pretty simple: get the leads from www.needledoctor.com. They probably have Cardas ones realy inexpensive $4 for all four and all gold-plated.BTW Do you mean that the cartridge was soldered directly to the toneamr wires??? | |

| Hall of Shame anything by Martin Logan -- just a personal taste :) | |
| your experiences bi-amping using passive pre-amp? Technically speaking any biamping without active crossover sucks. But if you deside to try, passive preamp isn't a problem in this case. Just make sure that pair of your amps can match with passive and your sources meaning gain, input sencitivity,... | |
| Speaker recommendation for BAT VK30 & VK200 I believe that isn't only you that suffered to set up logans. That's why I do not like them. There were a number of threads kind of "i give up" (Check this out, another previous Parasound-Martin Logan problem). You want to continue to build real f... |
