capacitor dielectric bias
Magfan, Have you experience with dc biased spkr cables as mentioned? I'm curious as I know Audioquest sell some but not found many others. I built biased interconnects, the improvement is significant. Also use a biased line between crossovers and ...

best speaker cables for Martin Logan Spires
Glad you have something that works for you. 
Has anyone heard an MBL 1531 with an external DAC?
Ah, yes, to answer my own question above, i see that you use the S7i, and that you have been along the crossover upgrade path to Duelund. I'd be interested in your experiences with this, i'm about to build my replacement's soon. It sounds like you... 
Has anyone heard an MBL 1531 with an external DAC?

best speaker cables for Martin Logan Spires

How to protect the wood finish of speakers.
Yes, as mentioned above theres little that can be done to totally stop yellowing of Maple, or any veneer for that matter. Some alter colour more than others, wether exposed to uv light or not. Wenge for example, a timber which is known to be dark ... 
ASR Emitter 1 , Does can drive B&W 802d ?
Dylanhenry,Quote you have previously made yourself:People's taste differ, but certainly anyone that introduces into the conversation terms such as "crazy" and "joke" knows little about speakers and even less about expressing themselves. Now, back ... 
ASR Emitter 1 , Does can drive B&W 802d ?
Dylanhenry,Your comments regarding the differences in character between the two speaker models in question clearly displays incorrect ancillaries and set up. I do spend time with both models, admittedly in different rooms. The Spire is a truly con...
