best Speakers Cables for Magnepan 3.6R ?
The so-called "best" is very subjective and depends on component synergy, room, etc. I am using the Analysis Plus Oval 8 speaker cables with excellent results with my MG 3.5. In my system these cables provide the high current delivery required by ... 
I want to upgrade to a bi-amp setup.
I am currently biamping my Magnepan 3.5s with a tube amp for the midrange/treble (ARC VT100 mkII) and solid state for the bass panels (Kenwood LO7M monos). I am using a Marchand electonic tube xover (Marchand XM126). I am very happy with the resul... 
Importance of Power Conditioner?
I am currently using 4 RGPC (for the amps)and 1 Hydra 8 (for the source components) in my system. The improvements have been cumulative. The negative is that problems in the electronics, speakers, cables and room are now more easily detected. 
Power Cord Burn-In
Dr."..we have greatly expanded the regimes in whichone can accurately model electron transport in cables tovery high order.."Still an approximation even by your own words. 
Power Cord Burn-In
Bomarc:".....Of course, once you know the effect the cable has on the signal, you also need to know whether that effect is audible to humans..."I agree with the above but not the sarcasm. I am aware of the existence of "a good deal of scientific w... 
Power Cord Burn-In
Dr., I also have a doctorate in physics from a "Prestigious" university. I did say " Maxwell's equation, etc." My research was in Quantum Fluids. I found it unusual for someone to sign his or her post:"Dr. Gregory Greenman Physicist"My main point ... 
Power Cord Burn-In
Dr., are your comments based on your listening experience or just theory? I am also a Physicist but I have learned not to take myself too seriously as you obviously do. Did you just receive your Ph.D.? I have learned over the last 35 years in audi... 
Power cords for Audioresearch.
I am using the Taipan Alpha (20A) with my Hydra 8. It is indeed a very "fast" cable. I have experimented with the Shunyata King Cobra, Black Mamba, Audio Magic and a bunch of $3000 PC. In my system the Elrods and NBS were the most neutral. The Kin... 
Power cords for Audioresearch.
I have the LS25 and the VT100 MKII. I found that the stock PC equalled or outperformed several aftermarket PCs. However, My gear went up several notches in performance with the Elrod EPS3s on the amp and either a NBS Master III or Elrod EPS2 on th... 
MG 20.1 or Wisdom audio m-75
Tireguy:Do you own 20.1s, and have you compared a modified vs unmodified version? 
Elrod EPS-3S versus EPS-3
I have both the EPS-3 and the EPS-3S in my system. I did not observe the so called "one-note" bass character. In fact, I thought that both cables had very good bass definition. As usual, observations are system dependentBy the way, the EPS-3S is m... 
Speaker Suggestions for ARC VT100
I am using my VT100 MKII with Magneplanar MG 3.5s. The combo is extremely musical. Very punchy, robust with tremendous soundstage. Try the maggies. 
Balanced XLR Turntable / Tonearm
TWI:Actually, the opposite is true. Phono cartridges are inherently balanced devices (same impedance to ground for both the + and -). It is quite simple to terminate the phono cable with XLR connectors. I am using an ARC PH2 (with an Oracle Delphi... 
Magnapan 3.5R and Sunfire Subwoofer ???
If you are using a single sunfire sub. Place the sub midway between the speakersDepending on your room, you can place the sub either in the same plane as the panels or behing the plane of the panels.I first experimented with a single sub and upgra... 
Magnapan 3.5R and Sunfire Subwoofer ???
I am using a stero pair of Sunfire Signature subs with my MG 3.5s. The blend is seamless. You need to move the subs away from room boundries and try to be easy on the volume control. In terms of scale, punch, dynamics and refinement the system app...
