| Amp recommendations to drive Martin Logan Prodigy? Pjr:Congratulations to your new purchase. You have a very nice system. From the picture, your Prodigy seems to be quite close to the front wall. Prodigy likes to have a lot of room behind. Have you tried to move them out a few feet. | |
| overheating in DVP S9000es? I have mine on 24x7 and it runs barely warm to the touch. I am wondering what makes the difference. Do you use any special power cable or power conditioning device? | |
| questions about the DVP S9000es I have burn more than a dozen on my Compaq Presario using the Easy CD Creator 5. All but the first one work faultlessly. The first one was burn at 8x speed and the DVP-S9000ES will not play it. I burn the rest at 2x speed and every single one work... | |
| Sonic Frontiers is bankrupt? Yes High-End is a niche market but it does not mean one can not be successful in this market segment. It is all a matter of execution. Some companies do well and some do not. Just look at BAT and Audio Research, both of them are very successful. | |
| questions about the DVP S9000es Although the manual says it does not support CDR my experience is that it does work. You need to use CDR for music and record at low speed, no more than 2x. | |
| Monoblock disadvantage or...? If you have hum on one channel, often time it is because one of your components is placed close to some electric field such as a transformer or power line. Try to move them around one component at a time to see if the hum changes. I had the same p... | |
| Tube preamp With 2 single ended outputs. I am connecting the 2 pairs of XLR output of a BAT VK-50SE to a Theta Dreadnaught to biamp a pair of Martin Logan SL3. You can also use a XLR to RCA adapter with it. You don't have to limit youself with only SE preamp. The VK-50SE does not have a ... | |
| speaker choices for Classe CAM350 mono blocks If you like clean tight bass. I suggest you audition a pair of B&W N800. I have heard N800 Signature driven by three different power amps including ML335, Classe Omaga mono, and Classe CAM350 mono. Overall, they sound very smooth and very clea... | |
| speaker choices for Classe CAM350 mono blocks It looks to me your current system is quite well matched. Why do you want to upgrade the speakers? In what area do you want to improve? How big is your room? What kind of music do you like? It is impossible to recommand anything without knowing mo... | |
| What is a good AC cord for M-L Aerius i's? Bryan1:AC cord makes no difference to my SL3. Just use the one came with the speaker and save some money. | |
| How much money do you want to waste? Some equipment are more sensitive to cable changes then others and everyone's price point is different. I will not make a general statment of one way or the other. I suggest you try to borrow some cables and listen for youself. If you like the res... | |
| Tube question In general, tube amps do run much hotter than class AB solid state. However, some Class A solid state amps run as hot as tubes.There are many variables that will affect how long a tube last. That includes the design of the amp, the tube type, who ... | |
| ?Best speakers for a 2000 sq.ft loft? If you want to stay with Martin Logan, a pair of Prodigy can fill up a 35'x60' room very nicely. | |
| Anyone herad the Audio Physic Avanti 111's? Daveyf:Twenty some years ago, in 1978 or 1979, I bought a pair of BOSE 901 based on dealer recommendation without auditioning because it was a new revision and the dealer had not gotten the demo unit in. He also gave me a good price for pre-order.... | |
| Anyone herad the Audio Physic Avanti 111's? Daveyf:At this price level, I would not recommand buying any speaker without listen to it in at least two different setups. I made that mistake before and regret it big time. |
