Merlin vsm mme owners, Cardas cabling Question.
Stringreen: I had a similar experience. I have great respect for George and Colleen Cardas, but after I got rid of my Merlin speakers and bought Dunlavys I had no idea how good they were until I got some different cables. Apparently the Cardas (Go...

Interesting review. I also liked your review of your Kia. 
has anyone ever listened to a 45lp at 33.3
For a truly mind-blowing experience, try listening without smoking pot. 
Service Von Schweikert?????
I haven't needed any service for my speakers, but I've found Albert and others at Von Schweikert to be extremely responsive to e-mails. 
Perhaps we should stick with midfi...
Try some other cables and see if that fixes the problem. I think you might be pleasantly surprised. Obviously, though, the more you spend on a system, the higher your expectations will be. 
totem et al
Richard: Trust your ears. As for Totem, it only gets better as you move up the line.

Robbob: I have no ax to grind. I just want people to avoid making the costly mistake that I made going down the Merlin and mandatory associated equipment path. 
Review: Merlin Music Systems TSM-mmi Monitor

Review: Merlin Music Systems TSM-mmi Monitor
Scott: Have you actually heard The One? Also, you might want to rethink that NAD CD player. Oh, I've been at this game for 32 years, but it's hard to argue when the heart is making the decisions. Enjoy. 
Review: Merlin Music Systems TSM-mmi Monitor
Samac: Listen to a pair of something like The One by Totem and then get back to me. Oh, and you might want to ditch that NAD amplifier.Lloydc: Don't apologize. You are right on the money. Emotions sometimes obscure reality. No offense, Bobby. 
Merlin vsm mme owners, Cardas cabling Question.
Pubul57: I notice that you have all of the prescribed components for the Merlins, affirming my position.As for Dunlavy's belief about speaker cables, I read that essay many years ago. I'd have to read it again to be sure of his criteria, but I've ... 
Merlin vsm mme owners, Cardas cabling Question.
Robbobby: Whoa! Most speakers are colored? Slow down before you spring such radical concepts on me. I just hate that you've made your last post to this thread. I could learn so much from you.I had no idea that most "experts" and "experienced audio...
