Will there be any 'Arrow' mark in a Fuse holder?
Absolutely, if you're going to do something, best to do it right.My electrician told me that food from the fridge will taste better if that cryoed, polarized romex is used to power the fridge! Soon I'll be able to enjoy harmonically rich food whil... 
Will there be any 'Arrow' mark in a Fuse holder?
I just spent $1,000 to have an electrician reverse the house power line from the pole. wow, what an improvement! well worth it.The electrician said that very few electricians install AC wiring with any regard to proper directionality of the wire. ... 
Who has found happiness giving up cd player?
I'd slowly begun a project to move 1000's of CDs to NAS/FLAC.It became obvious fairly quickly that I was simply transferring crappy sounding recordings from one storage medium to another simply for the convenience of random access.I've since modif... 
What percentage of audiophiles use a sub ?
I've tried over the years on a few occasions to match a sub with my preference for planar speakers (Apogee and Magnepan)I was never able to get what I felt was the proper match between the sub and main speakers. I always felt the deeper bottom was...

New Magnepan 1.7
"but when more dynamic material was played (rock, electronic, large orchestral passages, bass & drum) they sounded unacceptably thin and lacking bass of any substance whatsoever. "it's been my experience that the old "planar vs other" discussi... 
Conrad Johnson ET2 + MC275?

Quality issues?I've used Magnepan Spedakers for 10+years. (1.6,& 3.6)In this time I have never heard mention of any "quality" issues, nor have I had any with mine. 
Mag 3.6 Soundstage question....
tomorrow is another troubleshooting day.I'm going to switch the speakers side to side, maintaining relative tweeter to tweeter distance...and try to determine once and for all if it's a room or speaker issue.I keep thinking, that even with a poor ... 
Magnepan Owners - Need Your Thoughts Please
I owned 1.6s for several years, drove them with KSA-150.Bass was Ok, but no rock and roll mode for sure. I still loved them. I've got 3.6s now, and they for sure go deeper.Setup for me is pretty much Cardas calculated. In my room, bass is greatly ...
