Which Toshiba DVD?Could you be more specific about "digital artifacts" 
Decisions decisons, speakers or an amplifier
The point brought up by Kthomas is important 3.6's need power to shine. They are big and need space to perform properly.3.6's will provide you with much better bass and if in the future you can also upgrade amplification you might be surprised wi... 
Speaker Positioning
Antonio: A friend has Magnepan's 3.6 and had to deal with glass behind his speakers. After testing with different options we opted for using absorbing panels and vertical blinds. At the end the result was surprisingly good since he can balance the... 
TESTING SPEAKERS
Realdeal:What do you use for Degaussing The Cardas sweep record? or do you have a digital source for this.

Tvad:You're welcome. Hope you find it handy as it has served me well.Luis 
Elrod EPS 3 / Electraglide Grounding Concerns
You can check this easily using a multimeter (if you have it) or even using a flashlight bulb and a flashlight battery. IF you don't feel comfortable doing this don't do it. You proceed under your own responsability if you do something wrong. FIRS... 
Am I a burning out audiophile????
Sammie:That's a really nice counterpoint you bring to this thread!!!Yes going outdoors break a good sweat we all need that.This hobby tends to keep you indoors 
Speaker Positioning
Zar:Once you have been satisfied with the new speaker positioning, for your room I'd suggest to consider acoustic treatments. I had a listening room that was helped quite a bit by first reflection point treatments and corner tweaks as well. My spe... 
Am I a burning out audiophile????
Jh2os:Good for you!!!!!! Seems that you have found the way out.I'm convinced that if you don't get really into "playing with your system around" i.e. tweaks here and there, positioning and room accoustics, you'll never know what your system can do... 
Biwired-Dunlavy V- Bass reduced why?
NilAs Bob mentions cables do have a break in time .....On a second line of thought are the speaker cables the only change made recently to your system?Maybe in the meantime you can change speaker position to "recover" some bass if willing to wait ... 
Does anyone have experience with noise reduction ?
Okunokata:Your last post states only happens with SS preamp. Have you considered using a "cheater plug" in the MC preamp to see if the noise lessens? The idea is to reverse polarity going to the MC . So the Trace people feedback doesn't seem to be... 
This should be controversial....hearing tests...
SdCampbell:Just imagine having their listening capability graphs printed..... I bet some of them will start tweaking their ears with cones, piercings, non resonant ear wax....Inner ear depilation and so forth taking 100mg of aspirin for increasing... 
Line Filter Question
Jamesw20:You still get the buzz from your Belles?Can you have the system in an separate circuit?IF power basics are covered the filter might well be the icing on the cake for getting the most out of your system.Please your comments 
This should be controversial....hearing tests...
If I can extend the joy of listening to music more time by checking SPL levels and if required (which is not now )adjust my listening environment to my listening condition I think it's worth checking. The experience of been in the booth for the t... 
Which to turn on first...Amp or preamp?
Tony:Yes the test will show you if the polarity is correct in your wall plate and also tell you if you have adequate grounding. I'm not familiar with your Eclipse, took a peek at the audio magic site but couldn't tell if it has LED indicators for ...
