What wire config for tri-wired speakers?
You are right Bill, in theory. In a perfect world having everything the same would be ideal, however, we all know nothing is ideal. I highly doubt that any one would be able to hear a difference of a parallel run of 10ga car audio power cable and ... 
What wire config for tri-wired speakers?
Hey Bill this is pure speculation but with your particular speakers the bass cabinets are two of the tri-wire run you are considering. Knowing what I do about bass and your speakers, all the speaker cables are doing is transfering a linelevel sign... 
Review: Emm Labs DCC2 DA converter
Joey- Instead of trying to troll, take a listen yourself. I am so happy with the sound I am hearing I have no desire to argue with you. ....in other words, it really is THAT good. 
Review: Audiomod Modified: EMM Labs Phillips SACD 1000 Transport
Unfortunately there is a lot of truth to the high failure rate of the phillips units, I have a meitnerized unit and its dead. The worst part is there is no fix available- what a waste- and I had to shell out the cash for the pricey CDSD while keep... 
Best excuse for playing loud music?
Jea48- The opposite is also true of extreme high end, really really good systems can play VERY loud and you have no clue that it is even loud until your talking to a friend in the room and your both yelling and still can't hear each other! It happ... 
Best Tweak???
Radiob- Everyone knows that headlight fluid is more important then proper muffler bearing alignment ;) 
Pass X600 or VTL 450 Mono's for Magnepan
I enjoy tube amps but I feel power is the main thing with maggies, thus my nod would be for the pass. I would suggest looking into the Classe Omega, for similar(if not less money) I know this amp is a superb amp for magnepan speakers(assuming it i... 
Design Criteria For External Crossover Box
I will send you a detailed email early next week, I am super busy right now and will be away for the weekend. I still have your email address we can go more in depth about the next step and some options you have, don't do anything in the mean time... 
Design Criteria For External Crossover Box
Very few have a lot of experience with various materials to make there crossover box out of. I made mine out of maple because its easy to work with, is rumored to "sound good", looks good and offered piece of mind over using a metal or acrylic box... 
Comparing Wadia vs. Meitner
Just to clarify, I am not going to stop posting here at audiogon. I said I have stopped posting with regularity, big difference, from time to time I chime in but these days I'd rather be listening then argueing who's amp will beat up mine :^) Know... 
Comparing Wadia vs. Meitner
Frank- I sympathize with you, this is the reason I stopped posting with regularity- you share your experiences and you get jumped for it. Honestly(and I am SURE you are the same way now) I'd rather be selfish and just enjoy music and keep my exper... 
MG 3.6 and MG-1.6 Replacements Coming?
You very may well be right, however, there are more 20.1's out there then you think. Most people don't part with them, and from my experience they seldom contribute to the forums. I don't know what the current 1.6 sells for but I suspect its in th... 
MG 3.6 and MG-1.6 Replacements Coming?
Flynntom hit the nail on the head. Same would go from a 1.6 upgraded and thus more costly would interfer with 3.6 sales. I am very familiar with the 20.1 construction and the 3.6, magnepan would be DUMB to implement the push pull driver on 3.6- 20... 
Listening Fatigue
Listening fatigue starts at the source and works its way towards your ears. A great source, good cableing, high quality amp and speakers that compliment your listening preferences and your pretty much guaranteed to have fatigueless listening. From... 
Meitner DCC2
Rgs92- I am curious why you wouldn't consider selling the Accuphase and get the CDSD, there would be a difference in price but the difference in performance would be HUGE. There's a level of transparency and detail you can not obtain with out usin...
