| problem with levinson no 37? I have a 37 and have had similar problems. However, it's usually with CD's that are longer than 74 minutes. I don't have that particular CD. I don't think it's the DAC, and I'm sure the 37 gives you a message like BAD TOC or NO DISC. You should co... | |
| Parametric / graphic equalizer recommendations The advice thus far is good, but there are a few areas I would like to caution you on. First, I should tell you that we manufacture a parametric EQ and as such I am biased towards it. However, we designed it with very specific goals in mind and I ... | |
| Sub setup with parametric EQ'S? There are a variety of parametric eq's that work well with Subs. Our PARC was designed for high end main speakers, but can be used for subs. In the summer we will release the PARC plus which is designed for use with HT set-ups including subs by ... | |
| Mark Levinson 27.5 vs McIntosh Mc-2500 Well, I went from Klipsch La Scalas to Martin Logan Monoliths--that's about as opposite end of the spectrum as you can possibly get--so where should you go--who knows. | |
| Mark Levinson 27.5 vs McIntosh Mc-2500 Of the two amps I would say the Levinson. The Mc is on the warm side, as is the Klipsch, a little too much of a good thing. However, I would suggest that you look into some lower powered tube units. The Klipsch at 104 dB/watt (conservative measure... | |
| Help with Martin Logan Quests. I would call Jim Powers at Martin Logan. Tell him the problems and the results--particularly the last story. While, I can share my experience with my Martin Logans (and a few friends), he hears hundreds of experiences and works to resolve them. He... | |
| Help with Martin Logan Quests. All of the advice above is good. Do vacuum the panels regularly, but honestly--it's time for new panels. M-L has made a number of improvements for their panels, and you will benefit from these as well as the fact that yours are probably near the e... | |
| What are the "Must have" LP's? Mike:I agree--and have a few of those 45 RPM test pressings myself. My wife bought me the Sheharzade 45 RPM new sealed for Christmas last year. I won't tell you what she paid for it--but she knew I wouldn't buy it at that price, but I do love her ... | |
| Room Acoustic Software I think our site might have the answer regarding this. There is a page for computer requirements for ETF and BARE software. These software packages are for actual acoustical measurements and require a line level input (or USB if you use the pro ve... | |

| Nondirectional & Inaudible Bass: What Frequencies? Sean: Please keep in mind the differences between directionality and perceived source of energy. They are distinctly different, but often confused. It does seem by your comments (left hand speaker since that's where most of the bass comes from in ... | |
| Nondirectional & Inaudible Bass: What Frequencies? There are two issues about this. One is directionality, such as hearing a distinct sound coming from a source, vs perceived energy source. Thus GS has a point about the distance between the ears (except it should be 1/8 of a wavelength and your he... | |
| Room Acoustic Software Our company sells the CARA software, so I likely have a biased opinion. However, we do this because we feel it represents the best value and the most flexibility of any software simulation package of it's kind. The other package, which we do not s... | |
| Burnin CDs? Sound loss/degration question I bought the Yamaha CRW-F1 CD recorder. I don't recall where I bought it--it was online somewhere and was not terribly expensive (under $300 I believe). Of course you can get a recorder for much less, but this one suited my needs and has performed... | |
| Burnin CDs? Sound loss/degration question Buckingham has it right except for the $1000 CD Recording. The new Yamaha recordings make great CDs. I just bought one. It claims it can burn at some ridiculous rate, but I use it at 1x for audio and 8x for data. The audio sounds fantastic. As to ... |
