OT: Fine Writing Instruments
LOL, Joons is a pen-lovers dream store. I can only imagine what their flagship store is like, I've been to the Grand Central Terminal store and the one at Trump Tower.

OT: Fine Writing Instruments
I stick with ballpoints. You could argue that paying a lot for a ballpoint pen is like paying a lot for a quartz watch, but I like ballpoints. For several years I had a job that involved a lot of writing. And I thought, I can't afford an expensive... 
Magnepan anything new on the horizon?
The 3.6, too. It's been around for ten years! I admire such longevity, but isn't it also due for an upgrade? 
Dartzeel CTH-8550
4425, with a caveat that I can't do the review justice (and therefore, the amp justice), I'll try and hit some highlights. But do check out the magazine rack or see if the review eventually appears on the Stereophile website. Fantastic build quali... 
Dartzeel CTH-8550
It's reviewed in the latest issue (8/09) of Stereophile by Wes Phillips. He loves it, but John Atkinson didn't like the way it measured. 
Salamander Quality
Hi, I bought a basic (no options) twin 20 four years ago for $500. I like it, it looks good, and has been very durable. (see pic of my system.) While at the time I though $500 was kind of high, so far I think it has been worth the money. However I... 
What is the affect of cd player?
I upgraded from a Rotel 1072 ($700) to a Linn Majik ($3,500).I have to go from memory, as I did not do a direct A/B comparision. I do like the Linn better, but is it 5 times better as reflected in the price? Probably not, but that's not a complain... 
What's the biggest spade you can buy?
I'm sure other MF owners will have some advice, in the meantime, wow, those are huge terminals. The largest spades I'm aware off is Monster's 10mm, but they only work with Monster's locking pin system. Besides other MF owners, I'd try talking to a... 
MBL 7006 Integrated. How Does This Amp Sound Like?
I've owned the 7008 for four years and am happy with the amp. But it is not possible for me to compare it to other amps, since I have not tried any others in my system. So I don't think I can be much help.Personally, I think the 7008 is now overpr... 
What is a good bookshelf
Krell Resolution 3. The Resolution series is no longer made, you probably can pick up a used pair for $2k. They originally listed for $4,000, and went up to $5,000 by the time they went out of production. I have lived happily with mine for four ye... 
How does processor loop work?
Look at this from my integrated amp manual, on page 9 (or 12/28 at the top of the pdf viewer)http://www.mbl-usa.com/Resources/Documents/7008.pdf(The 8006B is mislabled as a preamp. They are power amps. Also imagine one three-channel amp instead of... 
What Integrated Amps have the sonics of Separates?
I'm pretty happy with my mbl 7008, which I have owned for four years. It is designed to drive the inefficient mbl 121 & 116, so it provides plenty of power and current, at least in small to medium size rooms. But nowadays I would say it is qui... 
Cables for an MBL Reference system?
Missed that.
