Looking for a very focused power cord
Trigg, pairing them together in what way? On what components? 
R.E.M. Accelerate - LP or CD?
That'll be a great show.I was aware that the LP comes with a CD. 
Harshness in tweeters: the price of transparency?
I generally agree that one cost of high fidelity is having occasional harshness, brightness and glare due to the system revealing flaws in the recording (and in the system itself).I've read of no one finding the perfect solution thus far. 
R.E.M. Accelerate - LP or CD?
Um...thanks...I think...You make a good point about initial analog or digital recording. I suspect at the least it was mixed and mastered digitally, but I'm going to do some Googling.Since it's a 45rpm release, each side is only about 10 minutes.....

I'm happy to see someone gets it.Kumbaya. 
How do you connect your single wire and jumpers ?
I can definitely discern the difference on my Silverlines when the single run is connected to the top versus when it's connected to the bottom, due to the quality of bass response that results.I could not hear much difference on the Von Schweikert... 
If you had 10k to spend on tube amp?????
05-18-08: MechansThey wouldn't accept my post I said by a brand of truly world class monoblocks another brand of 845s if you perfer and an inexpensive big co brand pre.The only thing is I know the fellow who wholesales one of the brands mentioned ... 
How do you connect your single wire and jumpers ?
On my Silverlines, the single wires are connected at the low, but on my Von Schweikerts the single wire was connected at the top. Each way was according to the manufacturer's recommendation.It seems to vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.Why no... 
DeVore Gibbon 8's or Salk Songtowers?
Because of the very different specs on these speakers, my gut tell me the Salks would be a better match with your present gear.It'd be a shame to use the Devore speakers with solid state amplification, IMO. They were made for tubes. 
If you had 10k to spend on tube amp?????
I'd suggest buying the amp after you've change speakers. 
If you had 10k to spend on tube amp?????
I agree with Rushton. No recommendation is worthwhile without knowing the speakers that will be used.Are you going to be using the Martin Logan Odyssey speakers?

What I gather after exchanging a few emails with Walter, is that there are a few owners who might be approached about hosting a demo, but understandably, Walter wants only serious buyers doing this who would promise to purchase the speakers from h... 
Isolation and Harsh Highs?
Glass makes for a poor shelf since it rings and transmits vibrations so readily. I read about a tweak in these threads that I have found works really well. Sanford ArtGum erasers. No joke. About $2 for three. I use them under my tube preamp.String...

05-17-08: KckNo doubt there is some agenda there, but I can't figure it out.Not from me there isn't.Walter contacted me about an audition after Clayton forwarded my email to him.I don't own the proper amplification to bi-amp the speakers, and for ...

Kck, my original post was unnecessary. You're right.I emailed Clayton yesterday asking for my local Southern California dealer, and have not heard back.Who is now the USA Emerald dealer?Where do I hear these in Southern California?
