Wilson CUB, anyone tried them?
Thanks for the feedback. It's worth mentioning my gear that would be used with the CUB's. Oracle DelphiIV/SME345/Grado Reference, YBA CD Integre, Audio Research SP14 preamp, (2) Classe Audio DR8 amplifiers. MIT cords, Audioquest interconnect, Clas... 
Amplifier with Watt/Puppies 6s
I heard the Watt/Puppies with ML's yesterday, damned impressive. Haven't heard them with the Pass Labs, but it seems to me you can't go wrong with the Levinsons, I fell in lust.... 
Tube advice
6922's are also marketed as 6DJ8's. I've had good success with Sovteks, check out Audio Advisor for a selection... 
What is a "Troll" ?
They are very little people with silly faces and bad hair. Just kidding. Trolls are the worker-bees that set up, maintain, and monitor a web site. They lurk and keep an eye on things, sort of a combination of technical support and the long-arm of ... 
Power cords at ridiculous prices?
Drubin, I have a few different cords right now in use. Synergistic AC Reference on my Classe amps, MIT Z- Cord II's on my ML Quest Z's, AQ12's on some source components (all cords bought used). I'm as guilty as the next in tweaking, I'm with Georg... 
The best band? Maybe not BUT...........
The Tragically Hip, huge success in Canada and Europe for many years now, unknown in the U.S.A. A mystery....Take a listen, intelligent rock, done with passion. http://www.thehip.com JL 
Monitor Speakers - most sensitive
B&W DM302's, 90db and cheap to boot, they can be had for $200. Not the last word in fidelity, but best bargain in audio today for everyday (non-critical) listening....Jeff 
Newbie Letterbox Question
Turn off the damned movies, and listen to some music *g* 
Martin Logans are too damn transparent!
My ML Quest Z's sound great with MIT Z Cord II power cords, Audio Research pre-amp, Classe Audio amps (two DR-8 amps) with Synergistic Research power cords, Classe speaker wire, Oracle Delphi IV/SME345/Grado Reference, YBA CD Integre.... 
Worst Audio Injury !!
David, good thing I didn't have a 1" drill bit in the damned drill. A2z: lighten up 
Worst Audio Injury !!
I was installing a shelf for my amplifiers, and set my Makita cordless drill on a shelf next to the amps while I hoisted the amp up onto the new installed support. The drill fell off, and landed business end first on my bare foot, driving a Robert... 
Best Small Office Speakers
Got my L40 hooked up to B&W L1's in a bedroom system. Look fine, but, less than ideal. I'd go with B&W DM302's, or Totem Rokk speakers. I own both 302's and Rokk's, tried them with the L40, slight edge to the Rokk's..Jeff 
What have YOU got?
Oracle Delphi IV/SME345/Grado Reference, YBA CD Integre, Audio Research SP14 (got a SP9 for sale BTW), (2) Classe Audio DR8 amps running bridged, Martin Logan ReQuest. Japanese tuner and tape deck, wires (that in my view aren't tha big a deal and ... 
Audio Research Pre-amps: used prices?
Thanks guys, appreciate the feedback. Yes, they are both in perfect condition, just trying to make up my mind which one to keep and which to sell. I'm leaning towards keeping the SP14, although the differences are quite minor between the two. I to... 
Top manufacturers!
Aragon, by far. The best customer service in the business, bar none..
