    Some info on SMS-1 (Subwoofer Management System)

    Ok, here is where my name will make sense to all of you. Can you folks explain to me exactly (in laymans terms) how this thing works. I have been looking at the MBL sub and some others as I am thinking I would like to add a bit of bass punch to my system. Appreciate all of your comments here...

    This is for Robin

    Thanks for suggesting that. I actually plan on that once I get my Arcici Suspension Rack that has been on backorder for the last few months. All of my components are laying on the floor and I want it to look better before I put it out there. Please bare with me but I want it to look great...

    Damaged ML Theater!

    I actually am in the business and compete with FedEx. Unfortunately, they do not like claims as carriers are self-insured up to normally $500,000.00 per instance. At one point, FedEx had a claims ratio of 4% which was the highest in the industry. So carriers only use their insurance to protect...

    Thanks Joey, I like most parents make comments about my kids that are jokes. The truth be known, I am truly blessed to have them. My weekends without them are lonely even when I have a date. I miss them every moment that I am not around them. There is no love like that you have for your...

    Any Recomended Cables

    I have had some good luck with Transparent XLRs and interconnects. Right now I am running MIT speaker cables but I have heard so many good things about the Nordost Blue Heavens that I have purchased a bi-wire pair and just have not hooked them up yet. Prior to the MITs I was running Transparent...

    My local dealer offered me a ticket to get in but this is my weekend with the kids and they come first. We are off to Church...hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday! :D

    Scam Alert!

    I hate seeing that kind of stuff on eBay. I just looked at a couple of his auctions and they are still running. Can you believe the $10.00 shipping cost on the B&Ws? Nice work Peter. Did this auction get stopped or did it run it's course...

    Pulling the trigger

    Jeff - I think that is exactly what I will end up doing. Sitting on my rear and pushing buttons is not the goal so taking some extra steps like you do would not be an issue. I can't help but think that you must have one incredible sounding system as a result. Spike Sounds like your telling...

    Tweakage

    I cannot help but think that this "tweak" is someone's brilliant idea to make money off of a public that WC Fields accurately described in his famous quote; "There is a sucker born everyday". Now I wish I had thought of it...LOL If I had, those summits would be in my listening room today! Not to...

    Need help

    Why don't you post pictures of what you have on here? There are people on here who could identify them on sight and tell you exactly what you need for them. Just so that you know, I am not one of those people but they are on here, trust me on that! ;)

    This is for Robin

    I cannot tell you much about the CDT300 other than it is a CD player and not a SACD player. When it came out I thought it looked awesome but the fact that it is not a SACD player made me dismiss it. Actually, the CDT300 comes with Russian tubes where the SCDT200 comes stock with Chinese tubes so...

    Pulling the trigger

    I was actually thinking of moving my Ascents to the rear and adding Summits or whatever ML was offering at the time to the fronts. I do not see myself doing the HT thingy for at the very least, another year and maybe even longer. You bring up an excellent point as I was not planning on taking my...

    Steve - First off, thank you for an excellent explanation. I can only surmise that the material used in the manufacture of CDs would have to have been chosen for it's refraction index which I am going to guess as being very low. After reading your explanation three(3) times, I can only conclude...

    Pulling the trigger

    If you don't mind, let me know what you think of the MC207 as I asked my dealer about it and he had nothing but great things to say about it. He also carries Classe Audio and did say that Classe makes a better CD player in his opinion than Mac. I am purely 2CH but will eventually be doing the HT...

    This is for Robin

    The Bendix 6385 Red Banks arrived about 3 hours ago. Without taking them out of their box and while my Western Electric 396a's are still in my Shanling, I put Celine Dion's "All the way...A Decade of Song" SACD on and listened to the first track, The Power of Love three times in a row. This was...

    I did study light refraction when I was trying to become a gemologist many years ago. I cannot see the benefit of painting the edge of a CD here. I am sure you have heard the four "C"s of a diamond; karet weight, cut, clarity, and color. I am explaining the value of "cut" here as it relates to...
