| good subwoofer interconnects First, most subs belong near the inside edge of the main speaker, though some distance back. One has to experiment. This reduces the length of cable considerably, and thus resolves a lot of signal loss issues.Since your sub is not powered, you get... | |
| How would the Usher BE10 sound with Mac Like with all audio dpends on your source and cabling. I highly recommend Clear Day Solid Core Silver- Shotgun. FYI He advertises here | |
| Where do I go from here ? Invest in a couple of large maple boards and 4 Machina Dynamica Promethean Springs. Make a sandwich under Rega. Get 4 Herbies isocups to go between the Rega and top board. Get a pillow to catch your jaw | |
| New System Recommendation? The equipment is probably not your issue.1. Install one or two 20 amp dedicated lines2. If possible have room szed according to Golden Rule3. Add a high quality power conditioner, based on balanced power4. Upgrade all power cords (Morrow MAP 2), i... | |
| power cord for electrostatic speaker If you already have dedicated lines and balanced power conditioner then try Morrow Audio MA 2 power cords. FYI, I have a BPT 2.5 for sale but have not listed it here. $875, plus shipping | |

| Hybrid - Tube / SS amp capable of sub 1 Ohm loads? I amusing Wyred4Sound class D amps on my Maggies. Vheck out the SX1000s. Great price, great sound and they don't drain your power bills | |
| Usher BE-10/20, what do you use to drive them? Having owned several pairs of Ushers, they do like power. My PS Audio GCC 250 (250 wpc @ 8ohm/500 wpc @ 4 ohms) grabs hold of them. FYI, one is for sale on Audio Sylum | |
| can I get some opinions - bass on magnepan mg20.1 Also Behringer makes inexpensive active OXs. Scott Endler modifies them. YOur could also get 2 Behringer CX3410s run them in mono for each side when you bi/triamp | |

| "Old" vs. "new" digital equipment If you are looking for the best digital playback definitely the Nova Physics Memory Player is a must hear. Short of that a Raysonic 168 with cryoed NOS tubes, and Herbie Tube Dampers is an outstanding compromise. And a mere $2500! | |

| Gamut CD3 vs Ayre CX-7e ? YOu can save a lot of money with a Raysonic 168. I love mine and prior to it I owned the 2 box Lector and Bluentoe Stibbert. | |
| Bananna plugs Soldered is best but IMO Bananas runs a close second. Why? Unlike bare wire or spades, both of which make cross contact, bananas feed the signal in a direct line |
