| No on-screen display for Adcom processor Success! Thanks for the suggestions. I used an S-video cable connected to the "monitor out" on the processor with an NTSC setting. All works well. It's too bad the manual doesn't explain this simple requirement clearly. | |
| intro to tubes I love tubes. About three years ago I went from using Class A Threshold amplification (pre and power) to all tubes. I didn't regret it. The sound is what did it for me. With Martin Logans playing jazz and classical my Sonic Frontiers is excellant.... | |
| What s behind your chair? Good for you for having the courage to withstand further ridicule. Behind my listening chair, I have many 2 x 4 foot acoustic panels made from Masonite, convoluted packing foam, and acoustically transparent white fabric. These homemade panels were... | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan SL3 3 I have Martin Logan Sequel II speakers, which are similiar to your SL3s. I went from a class A solid-state Threshold amp to a Sonic Frontiers tube amp without difficulty. I was concerned that tubes would not perform as well, but my fears dissapear... | |
| Wanted...Recommendations on Mapleshade I have too many Mapleshade recordings to list here, and they are all well-recorded. Some of them are just stunning, especially the vocals. I didn't hear a single recording before I bought it, yet I am not disappointed. I think they're an excellant... | |
| Finding original shipping containers? I agree with the message above. You should have the boxes custom made. It will cost more, but it will ensure safe transit. People buy high end audio equipment and often discard the original packaging. This is a mistake. Not only does the OEM requi... | |
| Your Best Moment of Audio Exuberance My experience occurred ten years ago in a crowded, hot, busy high end audio shop. I was visiting the unknown store with a friend when I heard Krell reference monoblocks driving Martin Logans from a (forgotten) digital source. Even with those lousy... | |
| Room Treatment After pricing commercial products such as Sonex, I decided to make my own acoustic panels. I have four panels on the wall behind the sweet spot, and they work very well. I used convoluted grey packing foam glued to hardboard panels covered in acou... | |
| Best reviewers From Stereophile I always liked reviews from Dick Olsher, John Atkinson, and Michael Fremer. I liked Corey Greenburg's reviews when he was a member of the staff. J. Gordon Holt seemed to offer some no-nonsense, common sense advice. These are the g... | |
| $400 CAL CD player- Scrap it or fix it? Thanks for all of the responses. The problem could be excess static, for it has been cold lately in the northeast. Also, I'll ask an electronic tech in work to look for obvious faults. If the problem proves to be neither static nor obvious then I ... | |
| BAT or Sonic Frontiers w/ Martin Logans? I have a pair of Martin Logan Sequel II speakers with Sonic Frontiers Line 1 and Power 1 amplification. I auditioned the BAT VK 3i and the Sonic Frontiers Line 1. Both units offer excellant quality, good value, and similiar prices and sound qualit... | |
| Sonic Frontier Power 3 Monos Advice I can give advice on Power 1 and 2. Does that count? I auditioned both for my Martin Logan speakers, and I found them to be excellant amplifiers. The sound and build quality is superb. Although my previous amplifier was a solid state class-A Thres... | |
| Audio Research vs Sonic Frontiers I also listened to both units before buying a Sonic Frontiers Line 1 (one chassis unit). There was an audible differance. The Audio Research excelled in some areas, while the Sonic Frontiers excelled in others. The deciding factor was value. The f... | |
| Mozart's Requiem- Best recording on CD Thanks to everyone who responded! I've already started to obtain some of the recordings. In my experience well-recorded classical CDs are difficult to find. Thanks again! | |
| Bargain power conditioners I agree with everyone above. Before PS Audio came out with their new products, I tried the APC UPS from my home computer. For many reasons it became immediately apparent that it was not the correct choice. I bought an Adcom ACE-515 instead. |
