I need help with my room
Sean, i was worried about getting Nate onto the measurement bandwagon and leading him on a downward spiral - but I made him do it anyway!!!(kidding).I think if things are maintained in a certain context then there will be no permanent damage done.... 
I need help with my room
I hope Nate doesn't mind me posting this, I don't want to 'steal his thunder' but there are some points that need to be added to help understand the measurements that we took in his room.Firstly, I think it takes a brave person to look at a freque... 
Any DAC better than the MF A324 Upsampler?
Thanks Krell Man, my digital cable is the MIT Reference, sold for $350.00 I did notice some improvement when I went to the MIT from a lower cost cable, so perhaps going a few more rungs up the cable ladder might help - as you suggest.I haven't tri... 
How many years before MP3 becomes king?

Any suggestions for a good speaker match for Naim
Both Linn and Epos are a good match with Naim electronics. One of the best systems I've ever heard was the Linn Isobariks (the big ones, not the Sara's) with active Naim amps.I think Naim used Epos when voicing their earlier amps, or maybe Epos us... 
McIntosh 6500 int. amp...
I had a home demo on a MA6500 six months ago, using a good quality CD system and Magnepan 3.6R's. Despite being an avid tube fan, I found the sound of this SS overly warm and distinctly colored. It had poor transparency and just wasn't very musica... 
Any DAC better than the MF A324 Upsampler?
Thanks for input so far, I think the MF sounds ok, but not great. I ran it side by side with my EAD 7000, and given that the EAD was 6/7 yrs old and didn't do the upsampling thing, I was expecting to hear more of an improvement.The EAD seamed a li... 
Sunfire amps
Sean,For what it's worth I've always appreciated your input on AG and think that the whole concept of AG acting as a useful resource relies on the participation of people like yourself.I was at a mini audio club meeting over the weekend, and your ... 
Help me find it again
Just my two penneth for what it's worth....I was at exactly the same place as you are at with your system (albeit, my components are very different than yours)....I was on the verge of packing it all up and selling it on AG. I've posted a few thre... 
need comments on my system
Try a Tact RCS 2.0 Room Correction/pre amp.I've just installed one in my system and it is starting to prove itself as a very worthwhile upgrade. There is a learning curve to go through, and you will need access to a PC with a spare serial port.The... 
Wisconsin - Anyone interested?
Hi Nate,Thanks for organizing this, I'll be there on the 19th. Please let me know directions, times etc..Carl 
No Bi-Amp but tubes for Maggies -- can it be done?
Here's my two-penneth on 3.6R's and tubes, for what it's worth.I bought my 3.6R's in October last year and have tried a few different amps, both tube and SS.If you search old posts for Magnepan you'll see a few of mine, asking for help and advice ... 
ribbon or electrostatic speakers
Duke summed up the issue of 'feeling the impact' with ribbon / electrostats and explained their limitations very well. However, that kind of room shaking bass that some box speakers and subwoofers can create may detract or at least distract from t... 
Which solid state amp loves a 4 ohm load?
I tried to use Maggie 3.6's in a 60' X 28' room and partitioned it down to 45 X 28 for better results.I've been using a pair of Cary V12i Monoblocks with the 3.6's, having tried various SS amps such as McIntosh and Belles. The Mac ran out of steam... 
Maggie 3.6R performance dilemma..
Active bi-amping is going to be too expensive in the short term. I did finally pick up a pair of Cary V12i Monoblocks, so I have those working through the standard Magnepan crossovers. The Marchand crossover retails for around 2 grand with all the...
