| Someone please explain the logic of upgrades I have studied mods that involve about $30 worth of parts that allegedly make a unit, in this case a CDP, that make it comparable to a unit costing thousands. One must wonder why the manufacture does not do. It would probably cost them no more tha... | |
| UPS strikes again I often ship (from work) via FedEx. when a Priortiy package is not received at the guaranteed delivery time (typically 10 am) a full refund is given upon request. While I agree in the grand scheme of current world events that this seems trivial, y... | |

| Recommendation for inexpensive integrated I would suggest the Audio Refinement Complete. I may be a bit over the $500 budget however. You should be able to pick one up used for about $550.Paul | |

| S.E.T. Amp DIY Kits Hi Chuck,as far a DYI kits, you may wish to check out Decware. Only consideration is that they are not for beginers. These amps sound awsome! as far a efficient speakers, the Hornshoppe Horn is a great choice for flee power if you have 2 conrners ... | |
| amp/pre combo or integrated for ML's no opinions? I am thinking of trading a pair of speakers for a Rogue Tempest Magnum. It seems to be well thought of. Any comments on it?thanks, Paul | |
| SETs vs. Push/Pull Tom,I am in a similar situation. I love my SET, but my 89 db electrostatics are not efficient enough. At 86 db, your speakers are (efficiency wise) a bad match for an SET amp. One speaker that I currently own are the Hornshoppe Horns. They probabl... | |
| Tell us compliments received on your system... I guess I should sell my system and by me a Bose Music Wave Radio. The truth is, most poeple who hear my system are genuninely unimpressed. Most simply say politely 'it sounds nice'. Other comments, 'I had a $100 pair of speakers that sounded as g... | |

| What integrated amp under a grand is your favorite Although I have not heard the other suggested amps, I currently own a Audio Refinement Complete Integrated. It compares remarkably well to other more expensive separates I have had. | |
| Martin Logan Owners...Why should I? Hello Wmwman,you may wish to read some of the posts on the hot formum topic on this site: Electrostatics or Dynamics. This is a very subjective preferance between the 2. I for one, prefer ML's. Also, as JohnK mentioned, Fostex based single driver ... |
