Need your help finding a pair of speakers.........
GMA, DK design, Zu, H2O, and the list goes on. What do they have in common? Shills who use every opportunity to drone on and on about them.You'd figure if they were that good they'd be listening to them rather than have the time to plug them in ov... 
will my subwoofer suffer from a long power cord?
You have hundreds of miles of cable coming from the generating facilityto your house.A 5 foot, or 5 yard cord will make no difference. 
Electrostatic speakers and power conditioning
"I've heard that a power conditioner can shorten the life of the speakers as they would not be getting full power."Logan stats take 5 watts max. I suspect most conditioners can pass that kind of current without problem. 
Martin Logan Problem
Usually ML is hyper responsive and helpful. Give them a call.

Removing the lid of your amp/preamp
It appears many missed this exchange from a couple of months ago - "One tweak that I tried that makes a BIG difference is playing the amp with the cover off. When the cover is on, electromagnetic waves bounce off the metal and back into the amplif... 
Which artists' music do you buy without audition
One more Steely Dan vote.I was wondering if the message in "Everything Must Go" was that it was the end. But with the tour over the summer I suppose not. I saw them once in 1974 when it was all good. Seen them 3 times since and the sound system ha...

Is matching sensitivity for HT speakers important?
You'd take care of the sensitivity issue when you set up the system by matching levels.The tonal balance using different speaker brands-types is of greater concern. 
Morph The Cat : Revisited
Morph the Cat better than Two Against Nature and Everything Must Go? Really?Morph the Cat sounds like Fagen phoned it in. A couple of decent tracks, but nothing memorable. It's the first Steely Dan or Fagen album that I've yet bought in two or thr...
