16 Channel Mixer… Questions and Concerns about dig mixer in chain
@lewm I’m kind of thinking this is correct. Based on the specs the mixer digital audio is far from lossless at 48khz. This should be a perceivable downgrade from analog signal and who knows how good or accurate the DAC is. I’m thinking to ditch th...

Which to keep! Pick one of these two soeakers
@newbee Both amps sound good, the ARC sounds maybe a little smoother like you said, a little more organic while the Musical concepts is a little cleaner and in your face. Both sound really good though. One thing to consider though is that both set...

The previous owner of the Martin Logans had them bi-amped with an Audio Research VT100 (feeding the subs) and ADCOM GFA-555 (feeding the panels). The Audio Research SP16 preamp feeds both amps. I have all of this gear now but I’m only running the ...
