| Martin Logan Ethos - comments Ok, they've been running continuously for 3 days and although I know a complete break-in may take longer, I don't have to wait to comment on my impression of them. I've owned many speakers over the last 50+ years including 4 different pairs of ML ... | |
| Peachtree Audio Nova as. Preamp questions You're right, I should have mentioned that the sub is the Martin Logan Dynamo 500, not the 300 which does have speaker connections. I spoke with the Peachtree guys who agree that splitting the line level signal from the preamp to the amp and sub i... | |
| Bass Attenuation - best approach For some reason Audiogon doesn't allow me to submit a post except on an occasional basis and then, only if I tinker around with signing in for awhile and if I start a new thread instead of continuing with my existing one. The original thread solic... | |
| Bass Attenuation - best approach These are all good suggestions but my limitations are fairly significant when it comes to room placement. The configuration of the room, although furnishings have had a few changes, has been the same for 37 years. I'm a little reluctant to spend a... | |
| Bass Attenuation - best approach Thanks for your responses. When I bought these I too was into HT and had all ML equipment with the Odysseys in the system as R and L fronts. When I switched back to 2 channel years ago I tried Electra and Nautilus for short periods but eventually ... | |
| Bass Attenuation - best approach I did that yrs ago but I'm looking for a bit more reduction. I share your opinion of the Odyssey and believe them still to be one of the best and most versatile speakers available. | |
| best wood for speaker cabinets ? oak,cherry, balti One of the best bookshelf speakers I've ever heard was constructed of bamboo plywood but, because it was a while ago, I don't remember the manufacturer. It may have been Canalis but that's just a guess. I don't know if the sound quality of those s... | |
| Using iPod Classic as music server Thanks, Mceljo. To explain this situation more in detail, because the digital inputs on my preamp are already populated, my connection is through a California Audio Labs Alpha DAC. I'm not really complaining about the sound that I heard using this... | |
| Using iPod Classic as music server I appreciate the input and if I understand the full meaning, it looks like the only way to experience CD quality sound is to use a CD. That being the case, I'll suspend further experimentation and replace my 60GB iPod with a model that will work w... | |
| Using iPod Classic as music server Thanks, Doggiehowser. My iPod is, indeed, the 60GB model that won't work with the Pure i20 dock so I haven't yet been able to determine if the quality will be acceptable for my listening. I'll go ahead and buy another model iPod which will work wi... | |
| Using iPod Classic as music server Well, I finally got the i20 but still have nothing to report. The ad for the i20 dock lists the iPod Classic as one that it works with but fails to mention that the 60GB Classic does not support it. To evaluate it for my purpose which was to play ... | |
| Using iPod Classic as music server I ordered the i20 this afternoon and will report back after I try it out. As far as the Peachtree Nova goes, I'll keep it because it has so much latitude of use as well as having a great front end. I already gave the Gigaware dock to a friend who ... | |
| Using iPod Classic as music server Lowrider, I use an iMac for ripping CDs to iTunes using Apple's lossless CODEC; from there, I sync to the iPod. For playback I'm using the inexpensive (here's where my biggest problem might be) Gigaware docking station as an experiment into the se... | |
| Speaker balance control Roscoeiii, yours is a welcome response. It sounded like the Dual Core was going to be my fix but detailed information on its operation is sparse. If I understand it correctly, then, adjustment IS possible in the upper frequencies with this device ... | |
| Speaker balance control Correction; before I start seriously planning to purchase the Dspeaker, I need to do more research. I had already reviewed this unit and thought that compensation covered all frequencies but that doesn't seem to be the case. Although it measures a... |
