| How competitive are you with your system? Why do they bother responding to this thread if it didn’t occur to them at some point how others’ systems sounded because you asked: Do you try to rank your system with others’? @rvpiano - you’re wrongly assuming audiophiles typically h... | |
| Reciever for Martin Logan Source speakers-Two channel What’s your budget? Just to be clear, you want a “receiver” that has AM/FM Radio + preamp + amp in a single box, or an “integrated” with just the preamp+amp? The later usually offers higher fidelity. | |

| Help please! Something amiss with my digital chain +1 @jl35 It is much easier and lower cost to get high quality Sonics from analog than from digital. When one has both, many struggle to lift their digital Sonics to be “subjectively” as enjoyable as their analog chain. I struggled looking for ... | |
