| Best Match/Best Synergy? @erastof I think speaker cables have interactions with both the speaker and the amplifier, so it is a mistake to think about the best fit without considering both. The cable can present, along with the speaker a combined resistive or inductive ... | |
| Anyone have a Roon Nucleus One? Your experience positive or negative? @2psyop To your original question: I have had both a Nucleus Rev A and now a Nucleus One. I purchased the Rev A in 2018 and was amazed at the sonic improvement over running Roon on a MBP I was using at the time (see other AG posts of mine for m... | |
| Attempt to re-EQ "Katy Lied" @drmuso You might also want to take a listen to the 2025 remaster of Katy Lied, done by Donald Fagen on 24/192, and let us know. https://www.goldminemag.com/artist-news/remastered-steely-dan-classic-katy-lied-to-be-released-on-high-quality-vinyl ... | |
| Which tubes to buy @motorheadflash I think you are making the right decision. Why have the doubt that tat your tubes are sub-optimal when you are using one of the word's best amps? | |
| Audio Research LS28/SE, Ref 5/SE … what do you like better? Used REF6s are under $10k. Then upgrade to 6SE in a few years, when it seems worth it ... | |
| Has anyone tried these SnugPlugs? Might be great for the loose plugs I seem to encounter on planes .... | |
| Are upgraded power cables for subwoofers worth it? I have a Martin Logan BalancedForce 210 which has a 850-watt class-D switching amplifier. I was feeding it with a power cable from Signal Cable, when I read a reviewer on PosFeed dicuss what an improvement an aftermarket power cable made to his su... | |
| Vintage Audio Research subwoofer connect. @n80 I have an ARC REF6 (now an SE). Around 2018, I found a doc on the ARC website blog that talked about impedance matching of ARC preamps and main/subwoofer systems (since removed from website). Apparently, adding a sub can make the impedance ... | |
| Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why. With my Martin Logan CLSs and now CLXs, I prefer no toe-in. A couple of things though that others might find helpful: 1. I have no toe-in, but frequency balance and imaging is also affected by lateral distance between the speakers and distance y... | |
| Audio Research GS 150 or REF 75SE? Get the best of both with an ARC REF150 or REF150SE :) | |
| Subwoofers - Final Thoughts with Martin Logan ESL 13A My CLXs are bolt upright (to within 0.1 degree using a digital level) and are with exactly zero toe-in and exactly the same distance from the front wall (5-6 feet) and the side walls, using a laser "tape" measure. Speakers and I are set-up in an ... | |
| Subwoofers - Final Thoughts with Martin Logan ESL 13A Prego @navyachts They are around $2k used when you can find them | |
| Subwoofers - Final Thoughts with Martin Logan ESL 13A I am extremely happy with my one ML BF 210 and my two CLXs. Integration is important and ML gets you there easier with the custom crossovers you can download to the 210 and the PBK kit. I previously had Kinergetics and Entecs. The 210 is far su... | |
| Any owners of Schitt Bifrost 2? The two are a lot closer than the price difference would have you think. I have both. | |
| Subwoofer Advice @navyachts I have a single ML BalenceForce 210 in a substantially bigger room (20x24) than you do and it does the job with my ML CLXs. It might be nice to have a pair for stereo bass, like I had with my Entecs, but it eats up floor space I need.... |
