Merlin VSM-MM's with BAM in the big rig, plus Reference 3a MM DeCapo's in the office. For me, they are keepers. Lastly, Odyssey Audio Epiphony 2-ways in the dining room / kitchen area. All are supplemented with subs. 
Power Cord Question
Kudos to Twoleftears and Musicnoise. Here is another info link > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_connector As the right honorable Krell_Man suggests, better power cords can improve your results. And don't forget conditioning. The fact that you... 
Power Cord Question
Perhaps the adaptor you require is shown here> http://www.dedicatedaudio.com/inc/sdetail/214 I picked a few up at one of the stereo shows some time ago for $30 each. Have seen them for sale here on the 'Gon as well. I use one on my DVR and one ... 
whats a good older hdcd cd player?
There is a NAD C541 now on sale here on the 'Gon for $260. Personally, I like NAD units but find my old Classe CDP.3 more refined. Good luck. 
Voltage fluctuations
Perhaps installing a dedicated sub-panel with dedicated outlets to support your music and/or A/V system would solve the problem. I'm no electrician, but I hired one and did just that. No more pulsating lights when the volume is turned up loud. Plu... 
Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2008
Count me and a friend in too. Have not attended since the 1st one, but the atmosphere was the best. Better then Le Festival du Sound Le Image ( Montreal ), & T.H.E. SHOW ( Vegas ). Casual & laid back. Lots of door prizes were awarded at th... 
Best 'Gon humor
Don't wait until you can afford it, or you may not be able to hear it. 
Demagnetizing cloth form Germany?
It works. Wasn't expecting much, but it helped. I want another for the upstairs rig. Alfred is the real deal. 
Review: Benz Micro MC Gold Cartridge
Thanks for the review and stats. Much appreciated. 
Interconnect Help - CD Player Help
Thanks Clayeton. Using 4 under my Classe. Did not compare to 3. Just thought 4 would offer more stability for the chassis and prevent excess movement when loading/unloading CD's. Brought another set of 3 to an audiophile friend for his trial. Plac... 
Should I get advents?
Yes. Ditto the esteemed members above. Great value. You can easily and inexpensively re-foam the woofers yourself if needed. Great to have extra speakers around for smaller systems, kids, friends, etc. How much would one have to pay for comparable... 
Interconnect Help - CD Player Help
I've had good results with the following. Place Waipuna Myrtlewood footers under your Classe CDP and the soundstage will bloom. ( Bettered several alternatives ) I also use Isol-blocks (2" x 2" rubber/cork/rubber pads ) in combination with them as... 
speaker recommendations?
Buy the PSB Stratus Mini's (now on sale here). Great value. Newly manufactured speakers of that calibur likely would cost 3-4 times more. They do need some power to come alive. (87db) Good luck. 
What is the BEST phono stage
There is currently a fine PPA listed on the 'Gon: Thor Audio TA-3000 MK II. Great value. 
I think my hearing is damaged.
What?
