    They sound different. It's hard to say which is better.

    What Makes ML So Special??

    They are not curved, they a facetted (i,.e., multiple, angled flat panels)

    MS Vista & High-End Audio

    I had one of those PowerMacs at work in that time-frame. Had to reboot it daily, often multiple times. What a POS! I was so envious of co-workers that had PC's. I was so glad when we the company through Apple out the door.

    What do you use for portable listening???

    I use either my iPod 8 gig Nano and Sure E3c's or my LG Chocolate phone with a 2 gig micro flash card. I usually use the supplied head phones with the phone because the adapters are a pain and disconnect when jarred. Plus, the phone is really too big. I really only use the music players for...

    preamp/processor question

    You don't need to limit yourself to a preamp with a unity gain/pass-through. You just need to return the pre-amp to an exact volume setting evertime you use the processor if you want to maintain proper balance with the center and rear channels. The processor's left and right main channel are...

    MS Vista & High-End Audio

    Your joking right? Unless you buy an Apple, when you buy a new computer, it will come with Vista. Success inevitable. My company employs over 60k workers. How many do you think will get a Mac? Answer: Zero.

    Lights, Art, and My CLS's

    Sounds like a nice table set-up. Haven't heard the new Clearaudio cartridges yet. My current lust is for a Shelter 90x. On the color light wheels. Sounds cool for subtle back lighting. Just think you would want to make sure the two wheel colors stay in sync. Also how fast do the colors change...

    Looking for a new DAC... but wait!

    There are passive pre's that don't have the impedence issues. Active pre-ampliphication is not required. Though, I doubt any source player has that quality of attenuation built-in.

    With Eyes Wide Open?

    Varies, even during one listening session. Go from just sittting there totally immersed in the music with eye's closed, to reading a book or magazine, to doing art work, programming (have a desk behind the couch in the listening room), planning the next project around the, rockin' out, folding...

    Tubes and SS

    Or a tube amp an no traditional preamp. There are some great transformer and resistor based passive pre's that will work in just about any set-up.

    Looking for a new DAC... but wait!

    The Scott Nixon Tube DAC's have some big fan's and the come with a small price.

    ML & digital amps.

    In my book, never getting what happens after 45 minutes is a bigger problem. And, no, they don't sound bad in the first 45 minutes. If you turn off solid state equipment the warm-up is much, much, longer and you never arrive at the same destination.

    ML & digital amps.

    How are tubes going to break your ML's?

    Need to tap the Collective knowledge of the all Powerful ML forum!

    My amp came with upgraded Cardas binding posts. I like the feel of them. Easy to tighten and they stay tight.

    Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario, Quad 2805, and more....

    Quad's sound great! They do bass almost as well as CLS's. REL subs match up to them pretty well. They do sound different from Logan's. The Quads have a bit more air and detail, not as solid of an image (i.e. etheral). Logan's are definitely more dynamic. Which is better???? Sonus Faber has to...

    isomike recordings

    I heard a demo of isomike recordings at the 2003 Sterophile show. Ray Kimber was pretty impressed with them, I wasn't. Not wanting to be rude to Mr. Kimber, we sat through the entire demo.

    What A Mistake

    Just make sure its not over or under damped. I have heard horror stories with initial attempts with decicated listening rooms.

    What A Mistake

    The down side is that a high quality transducer can replay all of what a lower quality source put outs ( The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly). Hey, about $1500 will get you a sweet pair of CLS's or SL3's. I would argue that a good catridge is a more important than the table/arm. Within reason of...
