What is your favorite guitar solo of all time?
Jeff "Skunk" Baxter going berserk on Steely Dan's "My Old School!" 
Merlins VSM placement question
Another approach is to buy a couple of sets of "speaker coasters," or "floor discs." They're essentially stainless steel or brass discs with a dimple in the top to fit the speaker spike tipinto. You can buy fancy ones that are more expensive, or t... 
Speaker cabinet made of real wood
Then there are speakers like the Ascend Sierra 1's in which the cabinets are made entirely of layered bamboo. 
Original Lps with cool posters.....
Gosh, I'm sure I'll think of others, but:Chicago V came with at least one huge poster of the band.ELP's Brain Salad Surgery on vinyl came with a poster of the band with lyrics on the other side.And Thick As A Brick was a whole "newspaper!"I'm sure... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Guys,Just thought I would point out that as of this moment the thread has 54,000 views! (Okay, 50,000 of them are from me, but that's picky...);-) 
Morrow SP1 or SP2 cable vs Speltz Anti-Cable?
Knownothing,Yeah, sorry, the thread's kind of a mess. To bring some order to it. Bobby Palkovich, owner and designer at Merlin, recommended the 9 gauge, copper speaker wire. Actually, he particularly recommends some flavor of Cardas wire, but that... 
Morrow SP1 or SP2 cable vs Speltz Anti-Cable?
Foster_9,Thanks for the post. I am so far stumped trying to find 9 gauge, simple, stranded, copper speaker wire. I've seen 10 gauge, such as Vampire Wire. If anybody knows of 9 gauge speaker wire, I'd love to know! 
Morrow SP1 or SP2 cable vs Speltz Anti-Cable?

Merlin TSM comparisons
Hififile:Can you tell me more about your system. What kinds of electronics, cabling and stands are you using? Thanks! 
Pangea stands?
Everybody,I received an e-mail couple of days ago from the folks at Audio Advisor.They told me that the product is "on the water" from China, and that they are expecting to have them in stock at the end of May. 
Pangea stands?
It's weird. I just got a catalog from AudioAdvisor in the mail, and the Pangea stands are listed there. I'm going to give them a cal and see if they actually have them. 
Tidal Amea Diacera fantastic speakers
Short of hitting the lottery, I will never be able to afford Tidal speakers but from what I've read, I'd love to hear them one day. ;-) 
Merlin TSM comparisons
I'm going to clarify why I sold my LSA1 Statements -- if only because people making equipment choices use these threads to help figure things out, and I don't want them to draw the false conclusion that I was unhappy with the Statements.I really d...
