Best sound at Stereophile show.
jameswei, can you tell me more about the Harvey/Martin Logan set up please? Which amps models and which ML speakers were used? 
cables 101? The brands and differant sounds?
"Alas, cables are a necessary "evil". That's like saying a speaker is a necessary evil, since the best sound would be coming from a "quantum" device beaming the sound waves directly into your brain, thus eliminating the need for amps and speakers.... 
Bi-amping speakers - Vertical or Horizontal
I always have liked monoblocks. With 4 monoblocks you wouldnt have a problem with deciding which way to bi-amp and with 4 monoblocks you have all the advantages, both ways of biamping have to offer. 
monster cable avs2000 and hts7000 balance
Sir, since you have asked for dealer input, may I suggest that you try our new breaktrhough HMS power cables with build in conditioner for a very reasonable price.http://www.hmscables.comChristian BrouwerImporter of HMS cables 
Are all copper cables virtually oxygen free?
I will give you another theory why cables sound differently.(I know this does not really answer the question, if all copper cables are virtually oxygen free, but I think the main reason behind this question was to find out, if impurities make a so... 
Speaker Impedance, Tenor OTLs, and Watt Puppies
Mikelavigne, you are absolutely right, art is art and sound is sound, but wouldn't it be wondeful, if you could combine both?If you had the choice of two equal performing amps, wouldn't you go for the visually more appealing?And by saying biggest,... 
Speaker Impedance, Tenor OTLs, and Watt Puppies
Mikelavigne, I agree, the name Kronzilla is silly at the first look, but what else can you name your products if your last name is Dr. Kron and you design the biggest, baddest audio tubes in the world? I have not yet seen a Kronzilla tube in real ... 
Speaker Impedance, Tenor OTLs, and Watt Puppies
Mikelavigne, you state: "..this case is that for the closest to the musical event an OTL is the best amplifier... " I would totally agree with you, was it not for the Kron Double Kronzilla SET amps. I have heard from very two reliable people, that... 
Martin Logan Prodigy A speaker for goosebumps
I think it's important to have a dead wall - live wall setup. The wall behind the speakers should be dead (absorbing) and the wall behind the listening position live (reflective). In order to achive this, I have bought the Sallies. Look here for m... 
Speaker Impedance, Tenor OTLs, and Watt Puppies
Let me give you my two cents form what I learned about Tenor OTLs, or OTLs in general, when it comes to speakers.OTL amps like an easy load, so an 8 Ohm speaker is easier to drive than a 4 Ohm, but what is more important is the impedance behaviour... 
Best Electrostatic loudspeaker?
Anybody tried the ML Prodigy with a sub woofer?Since a few people complain about the bass of the ML Prodigy, I wonder if there are people who use a sub for their ML Prodigy?I know that a German friend of mine is experimenting with a sub for his Pr... 
Hong Kong 230 volt wired the same as U.S. 220?
I am using German amps, (we have the same voltage in Germany as in Hong Kong) here in my home inthe US. But I had Mr. Strasser of HMS build two custom power cords for me ($490) because of 50 Hz versus 60 Hz in the US. I use the cords in my private... 
what is the best speaker cables for martin logan
I admit that my opinion can be biased by the fact that I am the distributor of HMS Grand Finale cables here in the US.But I own Martin Logan speakers myself and have tested at least 30 different cable brands with these speakers and would have boug... 
Levinson 390s vs Mephisto II
Jtinn,why would leaving the cover open improve the sound? (I also own the Mephisto player) Thanks,Christian 
Highly Polished wire????
According to Dr. Strassner, the cable and current physicist and engineer behind HMS cables, polishing cables to a "mirror like" finish is nothing more than a marketing hype.Like the Nordost Vlahalla cables, his copper conducters used in the Grand ...
