| Equipment Break-in: Fact or Fiction Break in is VERY real, I recently had a chance to compare two identical pieces and there were HUGE differences between the two. I had 2 audio aero capitoles mkII, mine had about 350 hours on it and the other one was opened and plugged in for the f... | |
| Cocktail of choice when listening to fav music? Nil- Do any of those beverages go better with the Sunflower seeds? or when its sunflower seed time drink gets put on the back burner:) | |
| Rotel RA-1070 amp, any good? Rotel gear is great for the money but then again so is NAD and as Matty mentions Creek, I would suggest auditioning as much as you can and buy what you like. I personally would take the Rotel over the other two choices, due to great experience I h... | |

| Cable for maggie 1.6 I just plugged my Jena Labs Twin 15(Valkyre) cables in my system this evening and WOW! I was floored by what happened- I was expecting the bass to knock me over and it didn't change too much- perhaps slightly more linear. How ever the midrange, mi... | |

| BAT VK-500 with Martin Logan ReQuests There is a member here that uses a VK-200 with his Martin logans(don't recall which model) and loves the set up. I enjoy the BAT sound and have VK-500 on maggies and it works great! Also worth looking into would be Wolcott amps, they work great wi... | |
| Anyone listen to the NPR jazz series cd's? Rudy- Thanks, I'll look into it- do you listen to 89.1 ever? | |
