One more BI-WIRE question
In order to gain advantages of better sound with bi-wire design speakers, the internal electronic crossover design of speaker must not allow bass signal from amp to travel up speaker cable connected to high frequency pair of mounting posts. If cou... 
"Krell" is a buzzword
Corn F.B. is right this is like dumping a bucket of chum in shark infested waters.....bloodlust. I have never heard/owned a Krell but will make the observation that the current Stereophile recommended list has 3 Krell amps rated class A, and it se... 
Equipment Rack Placement
Corn F.B. no doubt your set-up is best if room permits and exta IC cost not objectionable. However I think in practice not many audiophiles take the trouble to do it because you very rarely see 20ft ICs for sale at Audiogon. 
WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor)and Speakers
One thing to keep in mind is your speakers will have no resale value with this modifacation. As far as effect on sound I think you will most likely make it worse than stock grill cloth.......unless these are cheap disposable speakers I would be ve... 
Equipment Rack Placement
Conventional wisdom is amp between speakers with long ICs going to rack on side wall. But if you look at pictures of high end audio shows of room set-ups many have rack between speakers wich are moved far out into room. My set-up is rack between s... 
Music Fidelity E624 CD Player
I have one in my MF collection, same electronics as X-Ray but sounds different as larger cabinet allows more spacious layout, most say it sounds better. I also have A3CD and belive it is better than E624, even though most components are the same t... 
New Enya Album
Enya was member of Clannad for 2 years, which also had her brother and sister as members. She left the group to do soundtrack for BBC documentry called "The Celts" which later became her first album. 
speaker cable
TubeG, before you buy the MIT speaker cable you may want to try MIT ICs first, then if you want do MIT IC and speaker cables. I think dollar for dollar you get best performance increase with ICs. My system has MIT 330 ICs with bi-wire AP Oval 9 sp... 
Classe integrated or Musical Fidelity?
The design of the A3 and A300 is the same except for the larger power supplies and the A300 has different speaker cable binding posts, BTW I would like to know what reviewer said the A3 was not a good product......I have never seen a review that w... 
SunfireTheater Grand ???
Sean, not to change the subject but where did you get the Mobile Spec cables Issabre is raving about, do they really cost $15 a pair? No info on internet, I believe you said in past posts you like Geortz cables, are these Mobile Spec really as goo... 
MISSING THE POINT?
The best way to find new music is on large music store sites like Amazon.com Go to a CD you like and find what other people who bought that CD bought, and see lists of other suggested groups you would like. Every CD has real audio samples and each... 
Why do digital cables sound different?
It all boils down to this, all cables distort/degrade/alter the original signal. The best cable is no cable. The best cables, regardless if they are cheap or expensive, are the ones that transport the signal with the least distortion. It seems sil...

Dec issue of Hi Fi News has full review of new NuVista M3. It does use nuvistors, MF had enough in storage to release this product. It is dual mono and does use choke regulated power. Power tranformers are in seperate remote case, styling is simil... 
best mahler no. 5
Kevziek is correct that Bernstein has some excesses and idiosyncrasies, not the least of which is on good system you can hear him humming to himself on occasion. I have always wondered since Mahler was very concerned with religion, and his music o... 
Stones Remasters
Just to clear up confusion as Kira said all Virgin label Stones albums were remastered, these are albums from "Exile on Main St" to present. There were limited edition cardboard "album replica" Stones Virgin CDs which are now hard to find. The reg...
