| PS Audio Noise Harvester I second the Furutech NCF line optimizer. | |
| Cary SLP-05 Tubes- Matched Quads or Pairs? I use matched pairs of 6f8g tubes in all positions except for 6 & 3 where I use a matched pair of Marconi BL-63. | |
| Shunyata interconnect cables experience Personally I believe that interconnects don’t have as much effect on the sound as speaker cables. Currently in addition to some other well known brands I am using Shunyata which were a revelation as I always thought of them as a power cable compan... | |
| Why so many angry audiophiles? +1 for mapman. All the audiophiles I have personally met have been fun interesting people. We might disagree on some subjects such as tubes versus solid state or vinyl versus digital but the goal has always been to get the best musical playback po... | |
| Tube Amplifier with Martin Logan Summit X I don’t know how many times I have been told you can’t drive ML speakers with tube amps. Thankfully I ignored that. I have had ML Quest Z’s and Summit’s that I drove with a Cary 120 followed by a pair of Cary 211AE amps. I got great sound in a 14 ... | |
| Martin Logan Theos lightning strike Contact ML. If there is an internal problem, they will give you instructions on how to access the parts inside that maybe the cause of your problem. It is a lot cheaper sending them the parts then the entire speaker. I used their repair services o... | |
| Does Age Matter? I am 71 and probably have about 1,500 records and I have a decent vinyl rig but to be candid I prefer digital. Sound quality isn’t the issue but convenience is. I listen mostly to contemporary music and except for the first time I play an album I ... | |
| Tekton speaker comparison thread @MC thanks for the links. It is very interesting to find out that a professional musician is hearing basically the same thing from his Tektons as I do from mine. As you probably know Eric Alexander is also a drummer. Like a lot of buyers, I did n... | |
| Tekton speaker comparison thread I have a pair of the Ulfberhts that I am delighted with. They replaced a pair of Martin Logan Summits that in turn replaced a pair of Martin Logan Quest Z’s. The first time I heard a pair Martin Logan speakers was at a house party, I fell in love... | |
| Amp recommendations You have had the amp for 25 years and you like the sound. Before doing anything I would call up Cary and ask to speak to one of their technicians. It might be a simple repair but they will more than likely tell you to replace the capacitors. | |
| Customer service Grant Fidelity is first class. Please let us know what you think of your new tubes. | |
| New Synergistic Research Record Mat I have to agree with MC. Unless you have tried something or heard it in someone else’s rig how can you legitimately comment on it? | |
| How old are you? I was 19 when I went into the Army in1968. By then I was a dedicated music fan but had never heard the term audiophile. | |
| Streamers no dac I started with the Alpha and had it upgraded and now have the Red Wolf 2. First & foremost is the customer service, Joe Parvey is in a class by himself. Any issues, he is instantly there. I initially went with the Wolf because I still like the... | |
| Tekton Design Speakers Price Increase Welcome to Audiogon and it is good that you are already aware of the negative nellies who hate all things Tekton. I am surprised with the success they have had that they didn’t raise the prices sooner. Enjoy your new speakers and we look forward t... |
