You aint kiddin, I allready have Transparent "super" and they basically offer a trade up program so you don't lose that initial investment once it is made so if I do go any further I will probrably stick with them.It might be overkill to go with b...

Hey Phill, what about Transparent,and please do not tear me a new one. I am fairly new to this.

From what I have been told, even by my dealer, you shouldn't go for the ref. stuff unless you have nothing but ref. equipment thru the whole system. Especially the source or it will show the weakness of anything there. He wouldn't even let me upgr...

Carl, I use Transparent, which I have never had a chance to compare with the MIT, I am assuming that since Transparent was started by some of the guys from MIT that they are close in character. Have you been able to compare models from the same pr... 
The BEST system you've ever built !!!!
Craig, I am building a house now, and will hopefully move around jan-feb.Allready plan for a couple of dedicated lines. The new room is 15'x17' with cathedral ceilings and I am crossing my fingers that it will sound good because it is the only roo... 
What kind of amplification for Martin Logan SL3 ?
I agree with the levinson but can't afford it, had to go with proceed hpa2 to power aerius and the power seems to never end.

Just got off the phone with Bob. He now uses lamp cord from Home Depot, they offered him more money. JBL, Bose, and Kenwood are meeting with him next week and they are talking serious jack. 
home made speaker cable vs. the big boys
No I do not know Bob, but I doubt he filled his studio with the equipment that came banging on the door with fist full of cash. More likely he got what HE wanted and of course recieved a discount, maybe got it free, hell maybe paid 3x retail, this...

I would think that if they where paying him that you would at least see him in a add. This was just an interview.Do you think he is also being paid by Eggleston Works? I just don't believe that this would be a very good way of promoting your produ...

I had the 1.6 and Aerius i to compare for about 4 days, I whent with the Aerius, but I also had speakers from that dealer that I could trade up and get credit from. If not for that advantage the maggies might have won.It really was a harder decisi...

Gmkane, like you said, Ludwig can make anything sound good, but it all comes down to this. He wanted the best reproduction of the recording he is mastering possible, and he chooses Transparent to do this. We as audiophiles are seeking the same goa... 
home made speaker cable vs. the big boys
I agree that the studios do not pay we do for cables, but chances are they have a choice between paying the same for all of the brands (next to nothing) but they still choose the "high end ones", and if bits and bytes are all the same then we shou... 
home made speaker cable vs. the big boys
