The best of Biggest, Baddest monster amps ...
I've always wanted to know how the Levinson 33s weigh in with the best of the best sonically.... I know they weigh in at about 400 lbs a piece. 
Synergistic Research Quattro multi supply ?'s
I've been using the Quattro for about a year now and heard a marked differnce throughout the audio spectrum vs the MPC's. If your into SR cables, you gotta get this, and I guess it is easier to use than the MPCs. I just use an AC master coupler ac... 
How to thwart cats
I've seen a few postings about cats that like to sleep on electronics. Here is a unique solution. 1. Obtain a piece of heavy paper about the size of your component.2. Buy a roll of duct tape and tear off a piece about 6 inches long. You'll probabl... 
Very short speaker cable length recommended?
Of course central to this debate would be that the listeners break in both the long cables and shorter cables the same way for several weeks and have exactly the same type of connectors before listening between the two. It would be important that ...

Stand-by on Mark Levinson products
I own an all Levinson system, I know from experience you will want to leave your stuff plugged in, it will not reach its full potential otherwise. There is even a big difference between standby and the components warmed up after a couple of hours ... 
LS3/5a's - what amps are you using?
The ARC D-52b did a great job with these speakers. You should be able to find one easily. 
Review: Acoustat Model 2 Speaker
The new Hafler designs using Jim Strickland's design should be good. Tube amps are out, at least the Audio Research amps never had enough current to drive the Acoustats, they always sounded underpowered with no bass. I'm sure Krell, Levinson or ot... 
Mapleshade Silclear
I thought everything was fine for about 6 months until my system just didn't seem right, I removed the stuff with DeOxit and then sprayed the connections with ProGold, and the system sounded much better than with just the SilClear. I was a big fan... 
2 subwoofer???
In my experience 2 subs are better than one. They must be identical and in many cases should be placed at the near the midpoints of the room to help control room modes. They are difficult to set up without a tech with the proper equipment to help ... 
Review: Acoustat Model 2 Speaker
I worked for an Acoustat dealer during the companies heyday. I thought I'd supply a little perspective on how the models evolved. The first products with the transformer interface were the Model 2s followed by the 3s and 4s which I owned. (One wou... 
Online for a variety of acoustic room treatments?
I second the Auralex products. If you send them a plan for your room, their engineers will develop a plan for achieving the best sound with their produts. My room turned out excellent.Sgr 
Herbie's Mini Grunge Buster
I've responded before and thought I should comment further. I can testify that the mat works great and has the effects as advertised. I use it with my Levinson 31.5 and it made a clearly favorable audible difference.(Quieter background, a little m... 
Herbie's Mini Grunge Buster
I use it with my 31.5 and it sounded and works much better than the CD Blacklite mat. You can't beat the price.
