    New Halo at midnight (your grandkids would know)

    Whilst I am aware that the average MLC member (or ML user for that matter) are a few generations removed from even making contact with "the xbox", I wanted to take sample of how many members are going to be giving their systems some Halo love tonight (early reviews say the games fully...

    iPad is here!

    I could live with the lack of usb ports to connect external devises. I could swallow the lack of multitasking (despite the fact that that many driod capable smartphones can run multiple apps at a time). What kills me is that a device marketed as the ultimate way to surf the web cant run flash...

    Inexpensive Silver Wire/Interconnects?

    audioquest cheetah can be had used for a significant discount off there original retail and received positive marks in stereophile. While original retail was high at $1000 per meter (XLR or standard interconnect), used on the gon I have seen them commonly at $300 or less. Bought mine for $250...

    I am thoroughly perplexed and need help

    yes; it seems to be originating from the receiver as I have tried it with another box in another room with another system and I had the same problem, yet it only happens with that one source in that one circumstance (changing channels or playing or stopping a recorded program on the dvr). The...

    I am thoroughly perplexed and need help

In a second area I'm running a 5.1 surround sound with a traditional av reviver, v1.2 hdmi equipped. All...

    ML Production moving

    Too many people are focusing on the specifics of moving a portion of production over the border and not on the larger troubling trend. If you don't think ShoreView is moving to cheapen the brand then you blind or naive. I may own a pair of Vantage's, but I will be the first to acknowledge that...

    ML Production moving

    Mark, as a current owner of Vantages and someone who consistently fought the battle for proper equipment/ placement on a showroom floor (Sound Advice) I know the pain. If you haven't visited a local Mag location, stay away for your own sanity. Its not only a lack of amplification, but a lack of...

    ML Production moving

    I see a lot more support for the move than I would have imagined on this highly dedicated hobiest forum. For all those spewing the free market Regan era text book rhetoric I offer a dose of reality. In principle we want to believe that a company grows indefinitely as its profits do, focusing on...

    your own SR-71 !

    Cool vid, There's a hobby store nearby that sells a few jet powered models but I know none of the cost as much as a pair of CLX and descent Is. Honestly for that price I could buy, and restore a plane and pay for the flight training and pilots license to take it up in the air, but if he has that...

    Re-Kindle the flames ?????

    Pay no mind to Gorden, any topic that sparks an educated debate between arguably the sites two most informed and vocal members (tonepub and Jonfo) is a winner. Very rare that you ever find this level of insight on the net so for all intensive purposes let it continue. As far as adding anything...

    Poor and unsophisticated

    One thing everyone is forgetting is the deference in efficiency between the older Logan models, and there newer more average consumer friendly line. If you where to purchase the Sources, a mass market receiver pushing 120 "receiver watts" (wattage with no actual oomph behind it) would give you...

    7.1 HT Preamp w/HDMI recommendations needed

    For the last time I own the Onkyo pro version, which like the Marantz has 80% of the controls hidden behind a flap door; although if it didn't exist I would have bought the Integra still, because it was the best unit for the price. Read my post fully next time. Furthermore I'm not really an...

    7.1 HT Preamp w/HDMI recommendations needed

    And if you want to get nasty Contrary to the marantz with its no-name third rate proprietary video scaler (I've read plenty of reports that confirm its issues with Hidef vid.), the Integra features one of the best video chips on the market (HQV). Oh and if you really don't like the exposed...

    Transistors Are Better Because...

    Jeff I think you may have opened Pandora's box with that last post. I can hear the faint rumbling of an oncoming stampede of angry MLC members who own and have very high regards for Nelson Pass's current pet project. I'm going to sit back and enjoy what I think is going to be another possible...

    Audiophile Insanity? Must Watch YouTube ACA Video...

    Every so often I watch that video over to remind myself of what I will be like in 30 years.

    JVC vs. Kenwood vs. Clarion car audio

    Check out the Pioneer Avic Z series double din nav unit. Have always been the king of the mass market offerings in that product category in my book (although with a retail in the $1500 to $2000 price range, not cheap by any definition of the word).

    Well I was on board something I feel to be far more luxurious than either of those two yachts.

    "Rocktober" ....Philly style !

    Philly fans better thank Loria for not wanting to spend money on a proper closer and lead off hitter (Bonifacio had the worst on base percentage on team and we traded Willingham to get him). I had seen the Marlins blow at least 20 games in the eighth and ninth innings. Brad Lidge would have been...

    In-Wall Speaker Wire

    I use Audioquest 144 CL-3 for mine (14 gauge, 4 conductor), although I only use 2 conductors per speaker. Its fine, sounds better than the 12 gauge monster wire I had laying around. Remember, although thickness is important the grade of the wire matters more, although for rears almost anything...

    one half meter interconnect

    The only reason I can think of is peoples natural instinct to underestimate cable lengths. Case in point, my preamp and power amp are next to each other on the same piece of furniture and after accounting for the bend in the cable 1m meter is the exact right fit although at first glance it looks...
