| Anybody heard Martin Logan Summits? The topic of the thread is:"Anybody heard Martin Logan Summits?"I assume the poster of this thread is interested in responses to his/her question. I know I am.Descriptions and comments about member systems can be posted in the "Virtual Systems" se... | |
| KT88s to replace 6550s -- biasing question I think you should contact ARC. Ask for Chris Ossana in their service department. | |
| Best in wall speakers The best made ones (in terms of build quality) are the Revels. Full die-cast metal enclosure makes them even stronger than the wall!Being Revels, I suppose they sound pretty good too. | |
| Optical Cable Question - AT&T To Toslink? Sorry Ed, Toslink and ST (AT&T) are not compatible. They are both "optical" in that they both use light as the transmission medium, but there the similarity ends. They use completely different transmit/receive devices. The Toslink device costs... | |
| Anybody heard Martin Logan Summits? I heard the Summits at CES. They're amazing, and if I could afford a pair (they said $10k) I'd probably give up my CLSIIz/Depth combo (which is also amazing) because the Summits are smaller and would definitely NOT require a subwoofer! I think the... | |
| Electrostactic Feedback When static build-up discharges, it sends out radio frequency energy. And I can only assume that something in your system (more likely cabling than the components themselves) are acting as an antenna.Does this only happen when certain sources are ... | |
| Electrostactic Feedback OK, so are you saying that when you walk across the floor in your socks, or you put on or take off a wool/down jacket, these noises come out of your speakers? Or does it happen other times too?The reason I ask is I'm not sure the problem is "stati... | |
| Electrostactic Feedback I'll bet your humidity is under 10%. Where do you live? Use a lot of air conditioning? Does this happen spontaneously, or only when you touch a component? | |
| Need to re-discover analog - please help Lugnut -- I may not have been clear: I wasn't referring to necessarily less noise/hum in the phono preamp itself. (My single ended unit is as "quiet as a chair.") I was referring to the noise/hum picked up by single ended interconnects vs. balance... | |
| Need to re-discover analog - please help Springbok10, I do not have all the history at my fingertips but it took a long time for home audio to adopt what the pro world (of necessity due to long cable runs) had used for years. The longstanding prevalence of single ended connection probabl... | |
| Need to re-discover analog - please help Springbok, as I think I mentioned earlier, a MC cartridge has an inherently balanced output due to its electro-mechanical design configuration. What a pity to stifle its output (to say nothing about losing the advantage of better noise and hum rej... | |
| What about this stylus guage? Metralla, did you check out some of their other 1/100 gram pocket scales? Most are under $100 and many measure in .01 gm increments.. | |
| What about this stylus guage? BTW there is a company called "Save on Scales" and you can (for $32) buy the basic scale (JENNINGS CREDIT CARD J-SCALE CC-100) without the offset shelf, which I believe Audioparts uses to make their product. Go to:http://www.saveonscales.com/produ... | |
| What about this stylus guage? Speedy -- Stu Wein is the owner of Audioparts: audioparts@adelphia.net or check out his website at:http://www.audiopartsinc.com/I should mention that the gauge I bought actually measures in increments of 0.05 gms. In other words, if you wanted to ... | |
| What about this stylus guage? I bought the Audio One Digital STYLUS PRESSURE GA ( the .01 gm version) sold here on AgoN by 'Audioparts' (a member) at auction for $157. I don't recall the retail price. But it works great, and has a little drop-down ledge where you put the stylu... |
