| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Pat,I've not posted to this thread before but have followed it closely since its beginning. You are an amazing man, and I am in awe of how you have handled such a difficult ordeal with grace, candor and bravery. To watch these "audiophools" gather... | |

| Proac 2.5's-something not quite right- ideas? Ben,I recently acquired a demo Ayre AX-7 to match the existing Ayre CX-7 in our system, replacing a LFD Mistral integrated amp in a dedicated 2-channel audio setup. In addition, I am upgrading speakers from Proac Tablette 50 Signature monitors (on... | |
| One Song Before You Go... Well, if it was tonight it would be..."TUPELO HONEY" -- Van Morrison | |
| RL Jones at Red Rock I agree with you both. I "test drove" the CD this past weekend at my local CD emporium, could have picked it up for a steal ($5.99), and passed. The sonics were horrid as well as the soundstage.A total surprise because of her prior commitment to h... | |
| Gain on Odyssey Stratos I heard a Mirage BPS-400 with Martin Logan Ascents & the sound was stunning. I cannot comment on the Newform R645s but would encourage you to do some research on the Mirage. It can be had from my local dealer (www.tweeter.com) for $799. | |
| Mid-Fi Amp/Preamp for Martin Logans Brad, which Martin Logans are you running off the Odyssey Stratos? I actually had considered this particular amp, and emailed Klaus yesterday but haven't heard back yet. Also, are you using this for 2-channel or home A/V? Thanks! | |
| Mid-Fi Amp/Preamp for Martin Logans My budget is $2k/total or less for the amp/preamp. I am trying to avoid the upper cost of the equipment spectrum (i.e., Mark Levinson or Red Rose). By no means, was I implying that the MartinLogans were mid-fi. | |
| Gain on Odyssey Stratos Can someone provide the website address for Odyssey? Thanks! | |
| Mid-Fi Amp/Preamp for Martin Logans I would prefer SS rather than tubes but am open to either.Thanks again! | |

| Best Vinyl stores in L.A. Please forgive this Texan's lack of knowledge of the LA area. I will be in Santa Monica in early August (Fairmont Miramar on Wilshire). How close are these recommended vinyl stores: Rhino; The Record Collector; Record Rover? Any other recommended ... | |
| Your favorite blues album? Bean, my personal favorite is Lightin' Hopkins' "Goin Away" which was recently released on vinyl by Analogue Productions. The sonics and soundstage are superb, and the experience is almost equal to seeing this classic blues artist 'live.' His lyri... | |
