Melos MA-222
I currently own a Melos MA-333. I am not aware of DIP switches on the unit. Are you referring to the 2 toggle switches on the back? If so, leave the levers down for "Balanced" and up for "single ended" BTW, I did not notice the differance on eithe... 
Sellers Who "Didn't Know" or the Convenient Excuse
several years ago, I bought what was advertised as Martin Logan CLS2's. After owning them for several years, I advertised them again as CLS2's. As this was a local sale, a knowledgeable prospective buyer showed me via the serial number that they w... 
alternate method of bi-wiring
Wow, I learned a lot about bi-wiring from this post. As Driver has pointed out, I am currently applying Single bi-wiring. What I was asking if I can do is called True bi-wiring, which seems to be superior. So, now I must ask, which is the route I ... 
Zen Triode Amp SE84C
I am a new owner of a SE84C Select. I am blown away with it. Not quite enough power so, I will be adding a second to use as mono's. The quality of the sound has more than impressed me. I have heard that the Zen Select is a rather large improvement... 
Best Pre-amp under 2k-USED
Hi Say811, I currently own a melos ma-333 and find it moderately superior to my previous cj pv-7 preamp. I also don't think you can go wrong with a BAT product. I friend of mine has a gfp-750 and a pv-7 preamp and the cj wins hands down. the adcom... 
Any comments on the Decware Zen amp?
As a follow up, I bought a Zen, and the amp is simply amazing!! Although the SL3's are not really efficient enough for it, it provides more volume than expected. Although there is not nearly the bass output of my Odyssey Stratus, the sound is so m... 
Dedicated line which wire?
Although I personally don't know the differance, when I was previously reading up on dedicated lines, it was suggested to use S00W 10/3 wire. Hope this helps.Paul W 
Any audio gifts for Christmas?
First and foremost, congradulations 3728slingshot!I have been dropping the hint that I would love to get some CD's for Christmas for over 15 years! I once again created a wish list of CD's I'd like to get and once again got none! A lump of coal I ...

My system has just received the ultimate insult
I have enjoyed the feedback. As an update, this was posted perhaps to get a bit of sympathy and get a few laughs from others with like interests. She treats me quite well. I am just amazed that she views my system as such. On a portion of a musica... 
Odyssey Amp Overkill ?
although I am not familiar with the Monitor Audio Siver 5i's, I do own an Odyssey Stratus and have found it vastly superior to anything that I have yet used for an amp. Putting $$ towards quality electronics can make even relatively low priced mon... 
Help with bi-amping
I find this thread interesting because Martin Logan has quite a bit of information claiming that the benifits of an active crossover are far more than outweighed by the negative aspects of adding another component into the signal path. It is also ... 
My girlfriend is pissed
My main system is in my bedroom because it is the only room with the right dimensions. this allows the ability to do both. However, as much as I enjoy music, if it had to be one or the other... I guess this makes me not all that dedicated! 
Thiel CS 1.5 vs Small Martin Logan?
Hi Abe, I've never been able to compare the Thiel's to the ML, but I own both the SL3's and the CLS. I think that you will find that the ML are rather placement sensitive. small changes can make large performance differances. I find 4 feet out fro... 
NOS, single ended, push-pull???
