Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device?
Setonaudio,I don't get your "correction" to Madfloyd. He has already stated above that he had the qol and returned it as he preferred his system without the device so describing how the effect can be reproduced by other means seems more than appro... 
Spectral vs Pass
I can't answer your question directly, I'm not that familiar with Pass and have not heard either with Magnepan but I am very familiar with Spectral and since you aren't getting much response I'll offer what I can.I have been around Spectral for ma... 
Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device?
Not to get too far off topic but I was struck by a comment Douglas made above. Your ears must be hearing some way different stuff than mine when it comes to networked cables. My experience is with MIT stuff so can't really comment on others but I'... 
Are there any albums you consider perfect?
Raindog...nice to see Mr. Lanegan mentioned, great album. His version of Shiloh Town is classic. Looking forward to the upcoming MLB new release/tour!

Another:Perfume Genius "Put Your Back N 2 It"Don't let the title fool you, it's not a dance record. It's more a quiet, cloudy, atmospheric lofi singer/songwriter thing. I immediately thought of Antony & the Johnsons when I heard it, not just f...

A Marco sighting! Yo my brother. Yes, you must navigate a series of strategically placed obstacles in order to execute any function in the new and fresh Audiogon world. New World Order. Glad I met you a ways back because we never would have been a...

MayMay "MayMay EP" [Flau]This is a very quiet, pretty yet interesting 5 song EP, her only release I believe. Highly recommended. http://www.flau.jp/releases/24_jp.htmlIt's released on Flau, a small independent label out of Tokyo that puts out some... 
Jplay Mini
Timlub...try posting in JPlay's forum or the JPlay thread on computeraudiophile.com. I posted a question in both and Josef replied and resolved in a matter of minutes.

First Aid Kit 'The Lions roar' - Some really sweet chick driven Americana, like this one a lot. I have their 2010 release, The Big Black & The Blue and although I do enjoy it, this new record is a major step forward. Highly recommended.Neal - ... 
Network VS.....
A couple thoughts, first...I don't think it's wise to group "networked cables" as one. I think most of the companies that use networks do so with different technologies and methods. Even within a brand, take MIT for example as I am most familiar w... 
Spectral DMA 400 Mono Blocks?
Ack I'm surprised we got that past the watchers. Dialogue about the "upgraded" Agon is strictly prohibited (as to foster continued denial?).1rsw at the Spectral forum. I agree about the summer delivery comment, we may not see them 2012.I don't kno... 
Spectral DMA 400 Mono Blocks?
I saw that too and was surprised that there was no mention anywhere else in show coverage. I'd imagine they are something pretty damn special.So if any of you guys plan to sell off your 360 series 2 to upgrade, please get in touch with me. I'm int... 
Jplay Mini
I've been using JPlay for JRiver for a couple of weeks now. I must say I was very skeptical when I downloaded it but my ears quickly put me in my place. There is an ease and naturalness to it's presentation, more of an analog sound than I have exp... 
Has anyone heard the Magico Q7 yet?
I have not heard them and I'm sure they are amazing speakers. I noticed at CES (pics) they had 60k worth of MIT speaker cables connected to them (as they always do), that matters in a big way. I Have heard MIT's upper tier cables and they will do ... 
mit magnum z III
Yes, from your description they would be an outstanding choice. Excellent AC cable. I'd recommend trying their filtered cables for your digital gear too. I have MIT filtered cable's on my front end and Z3's on my amps and love the way it sounds. I...
