| Subwoofer recommendation for Maggie 1.6 QR I agree, I had a pair of 1.6s and used a Sunfire true sub signature with it with great results.I have upgraded to the 20.1s which do not need the sub. | |
| McIntosh MC2000 vs. Goldmund 29 I owned a MC-2000 and sold it shortly afterwords.It is a beautiful piece of electronics but is lacking in performance against other amps in its range.I upgraded to ARC REF 600 mk IIs, not even a comparison.Unless you want more power, I would keep ... | |

| ARC LS25 MK II - VT 100 MK III I.C.sug You might want to try ARCs own litzlink balanced interconnects,for te price they seem to work very well with their own gear.I've used them with my ref 2/ref 600 mk II set up with very good results.You can get better but you will spend$$$$$$$$$$ more. | |
| Late 60s Stones Most of that music on hot rocks was originally recorded in mono, and unfortunately the electronically rechanneled stereo is awful. Try to find original mono london pressings, the earlier the pressing, the better. | |

| Magic with Magneplanars? I've owned 3.6s and currently have 20s,have had 20.1s on order for a year.The 20s are more powerful in the mid and low bass region.Overall a more believable sonic picture but you do need a good room for them. I use Audio Research 600 mkII monobloc... | |
| Difference between ARC 600 MK I / MK II check out their website,www.audioresearch.com, they will tell you about the upgrade.I own mkIIs,best I,ve ever heard.They are big, use much power,and throw off alot of heat. You need a large room,but it,s worth it. | |

| Best Interconnects and/or Speaker Cable If you don't mind the inconvenience of these cables, omega mikro interconnects are incredible,very open airy with excellent soundstage.They do tell it like it is,weak links will be exploited.The problem is that they cannot touch each other or anyt... | |
| Electra Glide Interconnect I am currently using electraglide interconnects with my digital front end and they are fast and accurate with excellent bass slam.Try the speaker cables, more of the same.They sound very close to the Omega Mikro, which are great,but without the se... | |
| Best speaker for 6 grand max. I agree that Dunlavy SC-IVa's are wonderful, just sold mine to a friend while waiting for Maggie 20.1s. I miss them, they do everything well and are easy to drive. |
