| Subwoofers - Final Thoughts with Martin Logan ESL 13A FYI, my subs are set at 70hz. Perhaps start at one end and move to the other to find what suits your ears best. | |
| System assessment... I would try acoustic room treatments first. Even if you end up upgrading equipment, this will be helpful. It's probably the most inexpensive route as well. I found by adding absorption and diffraction in my rooms the sometimes shrill sounds I w... | |
| Subwoofers - Final Thoughts with Martin Logan ESL 13A My first recommendation would be 2 subs at a minimum. I've had the Swarm and it would likely work well with your room. Acoustic studies (see @rauliruegas comment on my post-Subwoofers are a superlative room treatment) demonstrates that 4 subs ar... | |
| Subwoofers are a superlative room treatment Thanks to all for the feedback! @petaluman The subs interface with an iphone app which is pretty easy to use. Each sub is independently calibrated to the listening position. The only DSP in my system is with the subs. @newton_john Sorry for the ... | |
| Subwoofers are a superlative room treatment If your amps are currently taxed with your speakers, you may wish to high pass. I have found that I'm going from 12 o'clock on the Pre amp to 2ish now. This is about 92dB. I asked Mike at Suncoast about that since nothing should affect the main... | |
| Subwoofers are a superlative room treatment @elliottbnewcombjr Congratulations on the sweet ride! | |
| Subwoofers are a superlative room treatment The S7s are not attenuated and untouched. I purposely placed this post here because I only listen to vinyl and the overwhelming majority of great tips I have received have been on this forum. | |
| Reliability - what’s your experience been? @ozzy62 I'm curious what you replaced you Nott TT motor with. Do you still have the Nottingham? | |

| Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing? I have had Magic S7's driven by VAC amps and Preamps for 7 years. They have never been fatiguing in the least, even after 6-7 hours of listening. We frequently have guests over for dinner and music and I have to drag them out of the room to get s... | |
| Kirmuss 'In the Groove' Ultrasonic Record Restorer - Upscale Audio Edition @terry9 On page 43 of Neil's book, he demonstrates with pictures rinsing with tap water using the label protector handles and mentioned the distilled water rinse/spritz using nalgene bottles. Marbles intact-at least in this context! | |
| Kirmuss 'In the Groove' Ultrasonic Record Restorer - Upscale Audio Edition @ljgerens While I don't necessarily advocate for using tap water, others including Neil Antin do. I offered it as a possible remedy to rinse detergent if used in the US machine. In my post I recommended rinsing with Distilled water after using t... | |
| Kirmuss 'In the Groove' Ultrasonic Record Restorer - Upscale Audio Edition The Kirmus machine is a modified Isonic unit. You don't need his process to get a clean record. I have both the Isonic and Degritter. Degritter is the best, but more expensive. For used records I start with my VPI, followed by the isonic and fi... | |
| Oh my goodness! To me, all of this discourse is really nothing than an oblique orbit around the audiophile segment of “happiness”. As in all things in life, aspirations are good until they impinge on happiness. Be happy with what you have and don’t let what you d... | |
| It was the output tubes all along... @mulveling thanks for the clarification |
