| Ortofon 2M Black? In my system the Black is anything but thin. It is a great cartridge at its price point and even above its price pointAlan | |
| Magnetic RCA adaptors: Latest snake oil? Tried there 0.5 magnetic power device. Definitely worksAlan | |
| Learning the hard way about AC power solutions I have in the past plugged into the wall, used several filters including the Uber filter and finally bought a PurePower 1500 Regenerator with UPS backup.

| top 25 speakers of all time, no ribbons? How about Magnepan? Best speaker I have ever owned including my Watt PuppiesAlan | |
| Magnepan's 1.7i c/w 2 DWM bass panels v 3.7i The 3.7's are simply better especially because they have the true ribbon tweeter. Maybe the best tweeter in the world. Also the bass from the 3.7 is better than the combo you are referring too. If the 3.7's are too expensive look for a nice pair o... | |

| How much can be measured -- and how much cannot? To me the best speakers give me an emotional connection to the music. The final of the Sibelius 2nd will give me goose bumps on certain speakers. I know of no measurement that will tell me which speaker will do that for me. Remember early solid st... | |
| Harbeth SHL5 for Shindo Montille? You might not have enough power with the 15 watt Montille. The Habeth is 86 DB sensitivity although it is 8 ohms. Might work but you would have to try it | |
| How much can be measured -- and how much cannot? "The number of times that I and many others have referred to John Atkinson's measurements in helping Audiogon members to make purchase decisions or to diagnose problems is practically countless."Actually I have never found measurements to help me ... | |
| Help on Electronic Problem It is radiated rf from the blower motor. This rf is not coming in on the line but is radiated directly to your system. Sometimes moving cables around or moving your preamp around could help but this is a real difficult problem to eliminate other t... |
