Martin Logan Odysseys transducer problem
think of switching to omnidirectional speakers. 
Pairing problem with amp/speakers???
XPA halves the power onto 4ohms and quarters onto 2 ohms.It has neither powerful transformer nor good filter caps in the power supply and no room for current reserve. You should use for this amp tube-friendly and efficient speakers. Power cut-down... 
Digital vs Interconnect Cables - Difference?
Relax I can't give myself the highest grade too! 
Interconnect Cables for Pre-and Power amp
If you're indeed interested in cables, go over the Pass manuals on the cable recommendation. I guess after you read it, you won't scratch your head anymore.Connectors on the cables are more important and use XLR. I'd stick with Mogami that provide... 
Digital vs Interconnect Cables - Difference?
whoever tells that you can't use analogue cable for digital signal indeed never had tried that. 
Pass x250.5 or Bryston 14BsstĀ² ?
x250 drives any load as well and it's better choice sonically and valuewise. 
Pass x250.5 or Bryston 14BsstĀ² ?
there's a value factor that would be more stable to pass amplifier vs. bryston. if you can get x250 at descent price point it will hold substantially better value than ssr2 amps that had been introduced much later. x250/350 amps had realistically ... 
Questioning a/c isolation for digital.?
I must use PC. Otherwise I have to unplug all of my equipment when I leave my dwelling every time. I've almost lost my amp from the surge connected directly to the wall. 
How to increase the gain on a preamp
Onhwy61,When I see bet on the table into the pot I'm also guessing...bluf?hand?nuts?draw?Nevertheless it definitely means something and basing on that you make following decisions:foldraisecallDon't make your life harder than it seems. 
Tube pre picking up feedback/vibration?
That single resistor is a feedback resistor. Altering this resistor from default setting to some magnitude may bring the amp onto oscillation or out of stability and another level of microphony(good point to check btw). The best what can happen is... 
Tube pre picking up feedback/vibration?
Rrog,I believe that preamp should be minimalistic and perform as close to passive as possible. LS15 is quite opposite to any amplifiers it drives.And yes I've upgraded to Mytek 192 DSDDAC/preamp/headphone + Musical Fidelity XPS for analogye mainly... 
Which headphones??
Audeze is good pick when you don't know about options for less money that will perform same or even better.Check out the link bellow and check out all the options Drew offers through his website. He's A+ dealer. I also disclaim to have no profit i... 
Phono Preamp Suggestions
I think you should give this one a try:http://www.violectric.de/Pages/en/products/ppav600.phpthe versatility of this phonostage is so far second to none.i wish it becomes affordable to me(heh probably the next tax refund) and i'll go fully balance... 
Tube pre picking up feedback/vibration?
LS15 has poor design because their tubes are overbiased for the highest unnecessary voltage gain. that also causes other circuit elements such as DC caps to go bad quicker than in any other preamp.your consideration of a new preamp is right on spot. 
Questioning a/c isolation for digital.?
the isolation devices benefit well manufactureres.
