My wife and I paid the down payment to reserve our Tesla Model S. Our sequence number in line is 3,262. Her current ride is a 2009 Mazda Speed3 with less than 3,000 miles on the odometer. It has never seen rain or snow. Her 4-cyl Turbo Speed3 is 0-60 mph in 5.3 seconds, the larger Tesla MS EV...

I was in a severe audio slump (lack of guidance or motivation) for awhile and now I am getting motivated again after attending the RMAF. I was shown the Sonos systems today at Listen Up in Denver; anyone liking their's. Anyone not so happy? Right now I am doing lots of SACD listening and DVD...

I hope to have my new Camel-color Microsuede panels installed by the weekend of the RMAF. I purchased two each, 2"x24"x48 and two each 2"x24"x24" panels for the front wall. I can't just throw them on the wall, have to paint first and measure plenty of times so that they are level and spaced...

Thinking of adding ATS acoustic panels (2"x24"x48") behind my Vantages. Before I pull the trigger I was hoping for some thumbs up or thumbs down reviews. How is the covering material, appears to be similiar to burlap? Thanks, Lee

Anyone have a small gas powered generator for use in emergency at their home? I am wondering if it would be worth it to have a small generator handy in case of a disaster. In Colorado it would mostly be losing power after a blizzard. We have a gas fireplace in the basement and I would probably...

Hello folks, For a year now I have a pair of Vantages hooked into a Pass Labs X-250 amp. Now my issue: I feel that the entire system has plenty of burn-in but it is taking MORE volume control now to make the same sound level. Has anyone else noticed this? I have had my ears tested and...

Hello everyone, I am in the Savannah/Brunswick/JAX area of the southeast coast; a long way from my mountains of Colorado. I will be here until mid-November and will be missing the family and the Vantages. Anyone within an hour or two of here available for dinner/drinks or audio get together...

Could I use my extra desktop or laptop as a HTPC? Would it be tough to hookup? What conveniences or controls might I gain since I am only running the basics (DVD, CD/SACD, Plasma, DVR, etc)? Lee

My spouse bought me a radio control helicopter for a gift. I ordered aftermarket performance rotor blades from the same company. In the ad it says they come with new rotor head, and hardware; but when the blades arrived the hardware was not in the delivery. I sent several emails but no reply...

Hey Folks, How many of you have the Comcast Motorola DVR cable box with the USB connection on the front? Has anyone tried to plug an external harddrive or thumbdrive into it to see something on the TV screen? If so how did you access or select the USB thru the DVR menu? Also, if so what type...

My Mother was just visiting from out of state and heard my Logans for the first time. It got her thinking and she stated that she has many Vinyl albums that are taking up space. Where should I start to look for buyers for these? Easier to sell in groupings, or lots of 10 or 12 each...

Hey folks, I received my awesome Pass Labs X-250 direct from their factory after getting a total recondition. I have the inspection paperwork and the warranty to prove it. Before installing the amp my Vantages sounded wonderful and total silence when void of musical notes. Now after installing...

Behind Enemy Lines - DTS 2001 20th Century Fox Action Detailed review: First allow me to preface this movie review with the fact that I spent almost the entire year of 2000 in the country (Bosnia) that the movie portraits during the ground (evasion) phase. The terrain, weather and equipment...

Alright, I am close to hooking up my new Amp and doing a full tweaking of the ML Vantages. Is it worth it to buy a Radio Shack Sound Pressure Level Meter? Is the test tone on the Sony ES AVR fine for using with the SPL meter or should I get a special CD? Lee

I am adding a new 2 channel amp and will probably be moving it to an isolation stand/rack at least 2 meters away from my AVR. I notice that most advertisements for RCA interconnects over 1 meter say "Subwoofer" in the description. Should I use caution in buying such a long IC. Is there a...

Good morning, Below is a simple picture of what my listening area looks like straight on. I am going to be adding my new (Pass or Plinius) Amp on DEC 1st. Since I will have to move several items to connect the amp, I figure I might as well do as much as I can at the same time. So here we...

I did a search of posts and threads with "X5" and came up with zero. There isn't a single Pass Labs X5 being used in any system or HT? Lee

Hey ML owners, I really enjoy all the threads on this website. It is refreshing to have such detailed discussions and opinions. Thank you to all. I have been looking online at SACDs and audio DVDs in DTS to buy. So far I only own Eagles, "Hell Freezes Over" on a DTS DVD and a gold...

I am staring holes through my laptop; researching 2 channel and multi channel amps to add to my Vantages and home theatre. I don't know how you guys are making the big decision on which to buy, going nuts here. So many variables, models, and especially opinions. When reading the...

I finally found very detailed definitions for "Class A and Class AB" when referring to amplifiers. Can somone define the term "First Watt"? When I hear that term I think of my father saying "The best system is not the loudest, but the one that every note sounds incredible even at low volume"...
