| Interconnects and non-believers Cables clearly make a huge difference. After I bought my first system I was really upset that I could hear almost nothing. Then I tried interconnects and speaker cables and wow, the sound was so much better! | |
| Speakers "Disappearing" Keep in mind that even with the best speakers, placement, and recording, the speakers will "disappear" only in a listening sweet spot likely not to envelop more than 1-3 listening positions.I had a pair of Martin Logans for a while. They imaged v... | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) I have a similar taste in music. REL subs my friend! | |
| speakers with balls Monitor Audio silver series are a good compromise between fidelity, balance, and sharpness. Great for metal and prog.BTW I have a pair of Maggie 3,3s rebuilt by John VanL and with 2 REL Subs that is a very good rocking combo. Ive blown a few twee... | |
| Killing Joke anyone??? in a parallel universe hi-end audio stores would use killing joke or fugazi Actually, in this universe. When I bought my first pair of non-Best-Buy speakers, I went to Saturday Audio Exchange, which is a Chicago audio institution (and I love ... | |

| Levinson ML-11 I'll bump it one more time just in case people missed this. Would appreciate any feedback... | |
| Why is the snake oil topic closed? I'd like to chime back in here. I think what is appropriate or inappropriate relative to forum participation in certain threads depends on the context and the purpose of the thread:(1) When someone asks the community for advice on the best power ... | |
| MQA decoding and CD ripping Check out Roon. It should, pretty soon, do a software MQA decode and it is superb for managing collections. Not very configurable or flexible, or inter-operable with other media software, but a nice user experience. | |
| Levinson ML-11 Bump. Just keeping this up front for a few days in the hope someone uses this combo... | |
