| Martin Logan Prodigy with Sonic Frontiers Power You need a lot more to make the Prodigy really sings. The best match I had heard was Krell fpb 600. If that is too much amp for you, at a minimum, get a 300W/ch solid state like a Bryston 4B or a Classa 350. When driven properly, Prodigy sounds bi... | |
| Power cables for martin logan SL3 Tmsorosk, I respect your opinion but just because someone doesn't hear the improvement your golden ears can doesn't mean he is stupid. | |
| Tubes Through Solid State Inna, If I took 12 shots of Glenlivet in a day, I wouldn't know the difference between a violin and a cello. Everything will sound like tube. | |
| If one had to be longer which would it be? Longer interconnect. | |

| Is it possible to get Hi-end sound ?? Absolutely you can. You don't need to spend a lot of money to get great sound. I have spent a lot of money in the past 30 some odd years to learn that. | |

| Power cables for martin logan SL3 The SL3 has no active component inside (no amp). There is absolutely no benefit to change out the stock cable. Don't waste money on that. | |
| Hard of Hearing Headphones for TV My 89 year old uncle has the same problem. I got him a pair of Sennheiser RS120 wireless headphone and he is enjoying TV once again. | |
| Removable headshells 101 If the headshell is light in weight and it sounds dead (doesn't ring) when you tap on it, it is a good headshell. | |
| Best computer program for Apple IMAC Second Max for ripping and Audirvana for playback.One unique feature of Audirvana is integer mode. As far as I know, at this moment, it is the only software player offers this feature. If your DAC supports integer mode, Audirvana really brings a h... | |

| Connectting Alesis 9600 to BAT VK32-SE Yes, you can run the phonostage directly to the Alesis as long as it doesn't overload it. The Alesis has no input gain control and its RCA input is about 10db more sensitive than the XLR input. |
