Help Selection of pre-amp
Why not get a 320S when they are out? Or buy a used 380S since your system is lamost al ML. I have a similar system of 37, 360S, 380S, and 331,334,336, and 434 power amps. 
Alesis Masterlink as a CD Player?
Thanks guys,I plan on using my Alesis ML 9600 to record compilaton CDs for DJing. I hope my Mark Levinson will lock onto the 88.2/24 signal. If not, I have a dCS Purcell upsampler that I can use with the Mark Levinson 360S and record in standard r... 
B&W 801 2or 3
I proudly own a pair of Matrix 801s SII I bought new back in the late 80s. I was using a Nakamichi PA7 power amp, but then upgraded in a BIG way to a Mark Levinson 336 power amp, and I think it has enough power--and the speakers sings! The only co... 
Desperately seeking opinions on amp
Are these the pryamid amps of the early 80s? Mono amps? I think they are very rare. And I have been looking for a pair of the pyramid amps.

B&W Nautilus Tweeter Grills - Lose 'em
I just bought a set of new grills for my 805s that the prior owner had removed and damamged. I called B&W UK, since I live in England and ordered new ones for about $50. I reccomend that if you have children to leave them on, as children could... 
B&W 801's - get series 2 with filter or series 3?
I own a pair of B&W 801 matrix SII and use a pair of Krell Bass Alignment Filters in balanced mode and wow--what a difference! The bass is so much punchier and overall sounds a lot more natural and blends well with the rest of the speakers. I ...

Does your system's sound change with the weather?
It is more to do with your mood because of the weather. I always seem to think my ssytem sounded better on clear nights, rather than cloudy and rainy nights. 
etymotic 4P earphones
I own the E4S and mine sound tinny too. I use them with a Headroon Cosmic reference amp and I am not happy with either products. The ear plugs must be pushed deep into the ear and feel irritating. If the seal is broken there is no bass and the sou...
