Micromega M-100/150 field reports
Ok I got to finally play with my wife's work ipad not sure I can keep the app on it, anyway, yes this is what I thought this thing could do.  It's an older version so it wouldn't put the latest app release on but it plays radio stations from all o... 
What is the epic song of a group?
It isn't their best or most memorable song maybe 'epic' isn't the right catagory perhaps song that redefined a group or introduced something new. The wiki page on the song  is an interesting read.

Thyname, I hope you find it was a worthwhile investment. If not hopefully you can get a refund.  
Stillpoints - snake oil?
Boxer12, That's certainly possible. My original point to the OP before being side tracked on cables etc.. was about isolation devices and my advice is ask the manufacturer what is their opinion on using these devices. Since they designed the compo...

Who said anything about recommending particular brands? I said generic. If the dealers providers of  amps, transports, TT etc.. convey to the dealer hey such and such cord or interconnect , isolation device works great with our product I am sure t... 
Best practices for listing/selling speakers?
I have some speakers listed on Us AudioMart for local pickup and I add willing to drive a few hours to meet which will expand your range a bit  assuming you can manage to fit them in an SUV  or minivan etc.. You might have to deal with the usual '...

Do these manufacturers at least recommend the use of an expensive isolation device, cord, fuse , cable , etc.. in order to get the best sound from their devices? They can leave out specific brands if they feel uncomfortable recommending them but i...

People can spend money on what they want. The OP said he or she was suspicous. I am simply saying if the companies who make these products don't think their products need more isolation to work as designed why would I think they do?

Do these high end audio makers recommend any of these $500 cords or $1000 isolation devices? Does say Esoteric say if you use a $ 500 AQ cord and Stillpoints our amps sound a hell of a lot better? We recommend you buy them. Maybe they do I have no...

Yeah, I assume a mains cable is wire and if the wire meets the specs then it's going to work optimally for what it was designed for and the manufacturer who sold the 'wire' with the component stands behind it , just like Ford isn't going to put su... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Glad you're enjoying the speakers mlsstl. I have room problems as well my listening room is my living room which is why I have been researching the Ohm's. The amp with dsp has helped but these speakers might be a better answer.

Still makes no sense to me. If a $500 power cord makes an amp sound $500 better it would be to the advantage of the company to include such a cord since they could produce the cord for a fraction of cost, think scale, why Dell can buy cpu's a lot ...

If they come with the device then I'll try it since they are desinged to use them. I guess I'm weird I assume companies  selling expensive equipment kinda know what they are doing and like Audio Areo if needed they provide it.

If they thought a $500 power cord was all that important to their product I assume they would contract with a company that makes them and place them under their brand. So it would be a $500 Audio Research cord not Shunayata. I recently bought a mi...

If the manufacturer doesn't think they are needed, why do you? If the company that built my amp doesn't see a need for them I see no reason why I should second guess them.
