Active Vs. Passive
One of the many speakers I own is a pair of Meridian active speakers. They are dual mono and biamped with an electronic crossovers. The amplifiers are perfectly matched to the drivers and you have the ability to tailor the sound with upstream cabl... 
How long do you wait for a check to clear
That's exactly right. Go to the bank the check is written on and cash it. Why would a seller agree to a personal check in the first place. Sellers should at least require a Cashier's Check or Money Order, but the risk is equally on both sides in t... 
Need Help with Acoustat Model 4 speakers
Newbee, On the contrary, your experience is invaluable to the OP and anyone else thinking of buying vintage electrstatic speakers. 
Need Help with Acoustat Model 4 speakers
Newbee, The Acoustat TNT-200 was designed by Acoustat to drive Acoustat speakers. I could not say it is the best amp to drive Acoustats, but I can tell you it out performed my Levinson 23 while driving Acoustats of the same vintage as the OP's Aco... 
Need Help with Acoustat Model 4 speakers
What receiver are you using? The biggest bang for the buck is Acoustats own amplifier called the TNT-200. 
Are my ears just fooling me?
It's hard to find well recorded saxophone music. Try the title track from Grant Green's "Idle Moments" and Harry Allen "Blue Skys" on John Marks Records. 
Spade to banana connectors, do they exist???
Audioquest has some good ones. 
Is the moscode 300 the Best $600 used amp?
Frogman, I don't know what your problem is. The OP did not ask for a comparison of a B&K ST140 and a Moscode 600 nor did the OP ask for a description of the sound of those amplifiers. The OP wants to know if the Moscode 300 is one of the best ... 
Is the moscode 300 the Best $600 used amp?
Frogman, Actually I do know the sound of these amps since I have owned them all. Regarding the the Moscode 300 sounding better than the 600, it is common within a design for the lowered powered amp to sound better, "less is more". 
Is the moscode 300 the Best $600 used amp?
Frogman, The OP's question is about the Moscode 300. However, your response was about the Moscode 600 compared to B&K ST140. There is no comparison sonically or otherwise. Please try to stay on the subject here. 
Martin Logan Quest Z Bass - can it be fixed ?
It's nice to get advice from people that know more about Martin Logan speakers than Gayle Sanders himself. With all of this advice I am surprised nobody mentioned the OP's choice of amplifier and how his Onkyo M-504 will alter the speaker's sound ... 
It's the Sony XA5400ES the best CDP under 4k
I agree with Merganser. 
Is the moscode 300 the Best $600 used amp?
Going from a B&K ST140 to a Moscode 600 is more than a step up. How do you compare a wimpy 105 watt amplifier that falls apart into a 4 ohm load to a 300 watt amplifier that doubles down into a 4 ohm load? 
Martin Logan Quest Z Bass - can it be fixed ?
Did Martin Logan fix what? 
Best Cables for ARC gear
Got it. I never noticed those before, but I can't imagine anyone being fooled into thinking they are an ARC product.
