Whatever happened to Straight Wire?
There has been at least one update; they removed any reference to the Blac Silc cable within the last two years. 
What's the deal with the Machina Dynamica Clock?
Murgatroid's first thread response. Hmmm, maybe it's time for him to "exit stage left."Although if those procedures weren't plagiarized he deserves high marks for effort.

Should have put in my post that although the speakers weren't for me, as Chad pointed out Bruce Thigpen is a wonderful person to deal with. 
What's that buzz, tell me what's a happening...
If you are handy with tools taking the woofer out shouldn't be a problem. Hopefully it's as simple as a wire slightly out of place and is vibrating against something. Knowing exactly where it's supposed to be is difficult.Be sure to note the corre...

An audition is a good idea. I owned them also but they weren't to my taste. 
How many hours weekly do you listen to your system
I try to listen to a cd before bed every night; part of my routine for a good nights sleep. I try to get 3 or 4 hours of critical listening in also. 
Totem model 1 signature or Dynaudio 52
There are currently two listings for the Revels, both under $1k. I'm going off memory but the 1.3s usually list a tad over $1k. There were also some upgraded versions of the Dynaudio 1.3s and my experience was with the early version. Good luck wit... 
What's the best, or your fave Johnny Cash song?
"In Your Mind" on the Dead Man Walking cd is great. And I agree with Steelhead, Roseanne Cash is wonderful. "Interiors" is one of the most beautifully depressing cds I own. 
Totem model 1 signature or Dynaudio 52
I owned the Model 1s (not signature) and my impression was similar, very nice but lacking bass. Not familiar with the Audience speakers but am with the older Contour 1.3s which had a very rich, robust sound. For me it's no contest, the Dynaudios w... 
Review: Conrad Johnson CA200 Amplifier
Very nice review. I definitely have a feel for the sound of this piece after reading this. Conrad Johnson has been on my watch list for a while (their integrated amp in particular) but I've always been too slow or just too late. Thanks for some us... 
Kimber 8TC - help with termination
Exactly. If you want to set up biwire, I suggest using 3 wires for the treble and 5 of them for bass. They work very well this way. Good luck.

Check out Bloodshot Records' sampler cds for some good stuff. 
Subwoofer connection question
You want to hook the sub RCA inputs to the Preamp output if your pre has an extra one. If the sub has inputs that look like speaker terminals then you can hook your amp speaker output to the sub. What model is the sub? That may help if someone her...

Don't forget "Ego Tripping At The Gates Of Hell" by The Flaming Lips. Love that one.
