| Speaker cables for Martin Logan Montis Cool...what is your EE specialty? Mine is dc/dc converters. I've made several pairs of speaker cables in the past, nothing special though. If I go the Mogami route, I will definitely build my own. The alpha core seems it might be marginally le... | |
| What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ? A few years ago I bought a pre-owned Pass INT-150. I replaced a Wyred4sound 4 channel amplifier, because I no longer needed to bi-amp. Talk about going from apples to oranges... The Pass was kind of an impulse buy. I did not compare to anythin... | |
| Speaker cables for Martin Logan Montis Spatialking, I don't disagree with any of that. Most certainly you would want the cable capacitance much less than the panel capacitance. So do you have any particular recommendation fro cables for ESL? for mine LF is not an issue as they have ... | |
| Speaker cables for Martin Logan Montis Spatialking...Thanks for the response. The way I understand it, inductive impedance goes up with frequency, so high inductive cables may cause HF roll off. Capacitive impedance decreases with frequency, so high capacitance cables my present dang... | |
| Martin Logan Motion 60XT, best value ? I have listened some to those ML 60XTs. I thought they were on par with similar offerings from Klipsch, etc. Mediocre, but not terrible, and this is coming from an admitted ML fan. I agree with others, if you are considering ML, you should look... | |
| Solid platforms or speaker stands for JBL L65s? I used to have L100s. I found a stand with some tilt mandatory. At less than 12" rise, I did not feel the bass suffered (actually probably an improvement to reduce the room interaction). I don't know about your room, but placing speakers on a r... | |
| Replacing Alpha Core Goertz MI-2 Veracity Speaker Cable jetter,If you decide to sell your MI2, let me know. I would like to try them with my ML ESLs. | |
| I’m gob smacked. What were you’re aha moments? @Imnop, What prompted you to replace your Oppo UDP-205? We have (had) very similar systems. I have UDP-205, integrated (Pass Labs instead of Anthem) and ML Montis. My main reason for getting the Oppo was the combination of transport and dac w/bal... | |
| Too good to be true? For what it may or may not be worth, I have been powering ML Montis with Pass INT-150 for a few years now. Never any issues, sounds marvelous. No plans to change anything any time soon. | |
| Gallo Reference 3.1 questions... I used to own the Gallo 3.1. I would definitely recommend using the sub inputs. I rolled my own amplification for the second voice coil on the woofer. I had at the time a 4 channel Wyred4sounnd amplifier and used to channels for the main input ... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @doitwithlife, Thank you. And the first picture is the upgrade and second id stock, correct? P.S. Nice system... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @doitwithlife, Now we are getting somewhere. Difference in both input and output waveforms? The power cable is between the wall and the regenerator? Is it possible to share the waveforms? I would love to get a look. | |
| What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why? In more or less chronological order:- Smaller Advents- Acoustic Research AR 12- ADS L710 (still have them in BR system)- Infinity RSII- Magnepan MG12 w/ REL sub- Infinity RSII back again- Infinity IRS Gamma (these were probably the best...only sol... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound Elizabeth,Not necessarily disagreeing with you. We might not be measuring the right characteristic that may or may not affect the perceived change in sound. But why not measure the obvious things that most likely could affect sound? If there wa... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound We have test equipment that can measure small differences in impedance and no they are not inexpensive. My inquiry is not so much about the impedance of PCs but rather is there measurable difference in the quality of the plus and minus dc power r... |
