| Why Don't More People Love Audio? The problem may be that the Title of this thread, and its Description do not agree. . . . . Lots of times friends will come over and bring (usually) a CD because "I wanted to hear this on your system", so they are maybe more discriminating than we... | |
| exactpower ep 15A Zaikesman, as you know if you've been reading the various Exactpower threads, I did finally get MAP to initiate a repair service for existing owners, although (and I totally understand) Bob was not in a position to do warranty work. The EP-15A's a... | |
| Amp for Martin logan CLS Originals Rleff, yes, I know Ralph Karsten -- and I like his amps. BUT, nevertheless, he still has the impedance history backward. Why would you not give precedent to the MartinLogan factory information? You think I'm pulling your leg? I'll make a note to s... | |
| Amp for Martin logan CLS Originals No. Why do you ask? | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Macro, as rational as your explanation sounds, it can never fully explain the situation. Funds and physical accomodations can be limiting factors for a period of time. So just because someone doesn't own a nice system doesn't mean they don't care.... | |
| Amp for Martin logan CLS Originals Atmasphere, you have the impedance thing backwards ;--) The original CLS, CLS I were .5 ohm. The CLS II/IIa were .6 and 1.0 ohm respectively; and the CLS IIz is 1.5 ohmIn all models, this "low impedance" occurred only above 15KHz. Raising it initi... | |
| Question on Cardas Frequency Sweep & burn in LP Doug's sense of humor has definitely evolved to a new level! ;--). | |

| Question on Cardas Frequency Sweep & burn in LP Mark beat me to it about the hard vinyl on the Cardas LP. BTW, 5 -7 hours seems a very short time for a new cartridge to even begin opening up! About 25 hours has been the minimum in my experience.As for using a sweep frequency band, such as on th... | |
| Amp for Martin logan CLS Originals Unsound, ML used ss amps for shows in order to insure good solid controlled bass. However this meant forfeiting the incredible silky highs and delicate, lifelike mid-range of which almost all stats are capable when driven by tubes. The alternative... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Here's an idea; and you don't have to listen to fish ;--)http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/19/garden/19aqua.html?src=me&ref=homepage. | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? high end audio is an example of conspicuous consumption. i have heard of individuals who assemble expensive components to impress their contemporaries, without actually listening to them. such a "group" is probably very small, in comparison to tho... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Branislav, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think what you're saying is that high-end audio systems can never be a status symbol like the other items you mention, primarily due to lack of exposure -- you can't wear it, drive it, etc? In which case I... | |
| Amp for Martin logan CLS Originals Rrog: You are correct about the CLS-zero (if you want to call it that ;--) which panel was only divided vertically, and the (two) bass sections were in the middle (halfway between the top and bottom of the speaker.) The stand recommendation came a... | |
| Amp for Martin logan CLS Originals Rrog, your information is incorrect. If you'll send me your email, I will scan/attach a copy of a MartinLogan factory memo to CLS owners dated Feb. 12, 1992. Among other things, the factory recommends (and explains the reasons for) the use of Arci... |
