| ProAc or Merlin Tubegroover, what equipment are you running with your Merlins? Since you have achieved such a good synergy, I am curious to know the rest of your system. I have always been interested in the Merlins, and I have and love a pair of small Proacs (1SC... | |
| Product Line Predictability Larger, more expensive speakers in the same manufacturer's line will not necessarily sound better in YOUR ROOM. I have heard all kinds of B&W's over the years and more expensive did not necessarily mean better sound. If you've been reading the... | |
| Any good integrated amps with a sub out My ARC CA-50 has a sub out. | |
| Subwoofer to match Vienna Acoustics Bach You may find a REL Storm III for around $1100 used if you keep looking on this site. Otherwise, there are other RELs that would also work: the Strata and the Q-series, which usually go for less than the Storm III. | |
| Good, mid-price tuner? My favorite current tuners are anything in the Magnum Dynalab line and the Myryad MT-100 (I just found one on eBay for $450). Jolida makes a new tube tuner that also looks very nice; but I haven't heard it. | |
| Re-terminating Blue Heaven Speaker Cable Try member Drubrew, he sells his own brand of cables and I think has offered retermination of other brands of cables. Very reasonable prices. | |
| Glass for McIntosh MR 67 Baranyi, do you want the old glass from my MR-67 that i replaced with the new glass from Audio Classics? The peeling was not terrible on the old glass; I even thought about retouching it myself, on the back, or even using some black electrical tap... | |
| Sahuaro Plateau vs. Ensemble Megaflux I have not heard the Sonoran or Sahuaro but replaced all my Transparent Reference and Ultra XL cabling with Ensemble a couple of years ago. The speaker cables sounded better than Transparent on my two systems, for a lot less money, so I sold the T... | |
| Glass for McIntosh MR 67 Audio Classics in Verona, NY sold me a new glass for my MR-67 about 2 yrs ago; I don't know why they would have stopped doing so now. Check their website, www.audioclassics.com, and give them a call yourself, your local shop may not have gotten th... | |
| Best All time 5.1 Pre/Pro I'm with Exertfluffer in recommending the Aragon Soundstage. I love its sound, user-friendliness, and excellent value at today's used prices ($1400 or less). | |
| need some suggestions for Acoustics Blues And Mississippi John Hurt, folk/country type delta blues.Also, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee, they have done a few albums together. | |
| Salamander Cabinet Resonance Problem. Help I have the Twin 30 with cherry side panels. They do not ring or resonate. Perhaps you could exchange your mesh for the "wood" sides, or buy the "wood" and sell the mesh on this site. | |
| Tubes for Mcintosh MR71 When I had my MR-67 tuner aligned at Audio Classics, I sent them all the spare tubes I had for the tuner and let them decide which were the best. I learned that the tuner is aligned for the tubes in the tuner at the time, so once your tuner is ali... | |

| Zaikesman's Username Pronunciation Field Guide Here's another one I always got wrong: Sattothestars. I thought it was shorthand for "Sat[ellite?] o' [of] the Stars." I didn't really know what it meant but thought he might be a dealer of very high end stuff that he sold mostly to Hollywood type... |
