I'm sure you know that in order for your Plextor to write at 24X the drive it is reading from has to be able to read at 24X. And the disc that you use must be 24X capable also. The dual well Marantz will only burn at 2X I believe. 
Aerial 10T Owners and Anyone that can help
You said earlier that the Marantz was only 30 watts per channel and even though it is class A, it still hasn't enough power to play at full volume. 
Okay, the gloves are off. Let the fur fly
I suppose a single driver can be accurate in it's own frequency range. But if a driver cannot reproduce a part of the signal, how can it be accurate? And electrostats usually have transformers that contain hundreds of feet of wire. But, I am no pr...

In most preamps 0db is wide open. It is your amp that is shutting down. If you continue to overdrive the amp, you will damage it or your speakers. When you bridge your amp, in most instances you are not as able to deliver as much current. You may ... 
Help with CD burner
Yes, you should be able to download another copy of the one you have. But there are others such as Nero which is what I use. 
Mark Levinson in Lexus?
It won't play CDR's. 
Progressive talk
A few of my favs are: Porcupine Tree, Camel, Eloy, Tull, Gentle Giant, Ashra, Barclay James Harvest, T. Dream, Flower Kings, Steve Hackett, Sonus Umbra, P. Floyd, Can, Mr. Quimby's Beard, Steve Hillage(more psych I suppose), Solaris. I know I left... 
Thermistor problem in amp
Take the cover off and try to locate the thermistor. It should be close to the power switch. If it looks like something you can do, then decide for yourself. 
Is Audio Research Mach II Ref II a good pre-amp?
I own a Krell 600c and it really is a smooth amp with no bite. The Audio Research would work quite well with it but I think it is way overpriced. IMO the LS-25 is a better value and probably sounds just as good. It also allows you to set the gain ...

Yes, you can make as many digital copies as you want which is true of all pro models. Mine is an older model a CDR-630. You can get the newest model in single-well for less. J&R sells it for 479.00 I beleive. You can get a dual-well from them ... 
CD Recorder
I am inclined to agree, don't buy a consumer recorder. They are a major pain. 
pioneer dv38a vs dv47 whats the difference?
The 10AX was the one I was speaking of when I mentioned the 5000.00 model. And you are correct about the build quality of the 47 being inferior to the 38A. 
Any Pink Floyd Fans out there ???
Have you listened to any Porcupine Tree yet? It's great stuff. 
True Monoblocks vs Switchable Stereo to Mono Amps
I'm not an expert on this but one difference is when you bridge an amp you at least double the power output but do not double the power supply. If an amp has a large enough power supply, this is not a problem. Often amps will not drive low impeden... 
pioneer dv38a vs dv47 whats the difference?
You are correct sir. The 47 is also an SACD Multi-channel machine. And unlike it's 5000.00 predecessor it does not mix down the SACD signal to PCM.
