Honey I Shrunk The Krells
The weight reduction is due to their use of a newly developed sliding/adaptive output stage bias circuit which maintains Class A operation while operating at much higher efficiency. The new models also incorporate fans for cooling which further sa... 
Review: Martin Logan Summit X Speaker
My sincere thanks to Hthaller for taking the time to provide such a thorough and detailed comparison of these speakers. I have been evaluating the tradeoffs between Magnepan and Martin Logan speakers and found this review extremely helpful. 
DIGITAL HIGH-RES AUDIO SYSTEM -HELP PLEASE
Tim, glad that everything is working out so well for you. Now you can enjoy the tunes! I have to warn you though that downloading new high resolution music can be an expensive addiction. 
Copper®Harmony RCA Plug - a new breed
Williewonka, thanks for posting the response from KLEI. While I understand their thought process and belief that their design is an excellent choice for digital applications, their plug still has one specific characteristic impedance and cannot th... 
Copper®Harmony RCA Plug - a new breed
From the review it appears that KLE has a nice sounding plug, but I find their response to Steve's inquiry about their impedance very puzzling to say the least. Regardless of their linearity at high frequencies, how can a single plug design "easil...

Responded to your other thread, hope that it helps! 
DIGITAL HIGH-RES AUDIO SYSTEM -HELP PLEASE
Williewonka, I don't have a MAC but on a Windows PC you just click on Play under the Previews header to hear an individual track. Then you can hit pause or stop on the player above. When you purchase the music you get 24/96 WAV files. 
DIGITAL HIGH-RES AUDIO SYSTEM -HELP PLEASE

Generally speaking both the analog and digital outputs are simultaneously active. On some players you need to activate either one or both outputs in a setup menu.

Tim - for some of the best sounding downloads that meet your criteria I would strongly suggest that you check out Sound Liaison. While they currently only have four titles available, they are all superb recordings made in true 24/96 resolution. I ... 
Tweeter height...align with ears?
There is no standard rule that can apply towards all speakers and listening rooms. As you move off the direct line from the center of a tweeter the high frequency response gradually falls off. This applies to a vertical offset which is affected by... 
Turntable upgrade, tweaks, or stay put?
I haven't personally tried it, but there is a much cheaper alternative to Onzow Zerodust that appears to be very similar in design. I have seen it recommended by some other users who have used it with their very high end analog setups and they ent...

Devilboy - I've also had some audio related dreams, but you've got it really bad! Curious if you remember what speaker the King was??? 
Origin Live Silver MK3A on Basis 1400
I didn't know that you were in the UK, but I would think that Mark Baker at OL would be best to address your concerns. The Nottingham collet allows you to clamp the arm at any desired height, but the current OL arms have a threaded VTA adjuster th...
