Stereolink rules
I don't make my computers, but this is what I have had done.If you have a little more money to spend, try the Digital Audio Labs with aes/ebu or cheaper spdif. It outputs at 44.1 24/96 and not the dvd output (of 44.7?), like a lot of the soundblas... 
Power Cable for Wadia 860X
I use the king cobra V2 or the Shark to great effect on my cdp. They have different qualities from each other, but they are both at the top of my list. I use the emc-1, I hope you don't mind it is not a Wadia.I have tried nine different cords so f... 
Review: Martin Logan CLS IIZ Speaker
I was wondering if anyone is using the ML etc spikes on their speakers and opinion about them.Does anyone raise the speakers off the floor.Do they respond favorably to a dedicated circuit? 
Review: Martin Logan CLS IIZ Speaker
I would like to mention how perfect they are with intimate music and how articulate they are at low volume levels.I use spm reference cable and the granite 555 into a PS audio ultimate outlet high current into its own 20amp circuit. For some reaso... 
Low Voltage on Circuit
I know that the potential during summer months is for utility companies to "top off or somehow limit" the voltage to entire neighborhoods to save power for AC consumption across their grid.This occurred in one of my buildings last summer. I had en... 
Need help copying cds
KP is right. When I use ahead Nero 5, I also use the cddb function on the disk at once. This gives me a copy that has cd text written into it. This helps a lot when you use a player that is cd text enabled. In many respects, I prefer the cd text c... 
one or two Sub-woofers?
I also have the clsIIz. I use two of the ML Descent subwoofers using xlr. I have them behind the clsIIz, about four feet. I really enjoy them and they integrate better than several Velodynes I have tried.I agree that you may need lots of power cir... 
Need a good "under carpet" speaker cable
If you are going under the carpet, then I assume you would be installing new carpet?If the floor joists run parallel to the direction you are intending to put in the speaker cable, why not cut a few access holes into the floor?You can ask any carp... 
Need a "short list" of best Subwoofers for M.L.'s
Try to audition the Descent. I purchased one, now I use two, ML Descents and they provide really tight bass. 
Is anyone else getting annoyed with...
If you have bandwidth when viewing this site, then the annoyance would be lessened because of less hang time. I certainly do not mind any of the ads. I am happy just to see a place to purchase and sell more and more product. If I don't like the wa... 
cornfedboy, signing off
I follow all of your threads. I have learned so much from your postings. It is my hope that your offer to accept messages requesting advice will be there once I try to reach the next level. I hope to get a system as prized as yours in a few years.... 
portishead, goldfrapp, looking for more ......
I listen to everything listed above, but my chill out faves are St. Etienne (their entire playlist), Morcheeba, and Ivy. I find that Paul Van Dyk has many songs that stir me with female vocalists, especially on the CD, "Out there and back".I espec... 
Stainless Steel audio racks?
There is a company in Wisconsin known as Stratus. http://www.stratusfurniture.com/products.htmlCheck out the galactic line. It is really beefy and modern. All glass and stainless. 
Best HT speaker system
I use all clzIIz for front and rears as well as a logos. I appreciate how electrostatics can deliver at low volumes across the sonic spectrum. I have two velodyne subs @ 50 hz for the bottom end. I am using cardas neutral reference speaker cable, ...
