| matching center channel to mains/rears I would definitely stick with ML in order to match the tonality and speed of your Summits... either the Stage or Motif. I have Summits with a Motif center and couldn't be happier. | |
| 15 amp vs 20 amp difference? Hah! I just received a Running Springs Mongoose 20A cord, and noticed it has the exact same pairing as the Shunyata and Zu referenced above... a 20A IEC connector, but a 15A rated standard plug! I thought it might have been a production error, but... | |
| Tools to measure in room response Jim, it took a couple weeks for shipping (including a short delay to pony up for the "customs fees"). The latest software version is MUCH improved over the original, and I have found it extremely helpful for fine tuning my acoustic treatments and ... | |
| Tools to measure in room response Depending on your budget, I'd also check out the XTZ Room Analyzer "all-in-one-box" kit (www.xtz.se). It only runs on Windows (XP best), but is very easy to set up and use. Cost is ~$300 after shipping and customs fees. | |

| Sarasota, FL There are a growing group of Sarasota area audiophiles who have been driving up together for Tampa Bay Listening Society (TBLS) meetings/listening sessions. We hope to get a contingent of TBLS folks to reciprocate and drive down for a weekend visi... | |
| Transmission line speakers FYI... an individual in Jupiter, FL has a vintage pair of IMF Studios (Fried design) they are giving up. More details here...http://www.tbls.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=3551479If interested, I'll forward their email to you. | |
| Tampa Bay Area Audiogoners FYI, just realized this old thread should be updated. The Tampa Bay Listening Society is alive and thriving, with a new Website/Forum... www.thetbls.comFor those of you in the Tampa Bay area (even Bradenton and Sarasota), check us out! | |
| Music Server with no DAC? Logitech is reportedly going to release the "Squeezebox Touch" in mid-late Aug. It is rumored to be 24/96 capable, thus the perfect solution for those of us who already have a capable outboard DAC, and not interested in a standard or modded Transp... | |
| Cable recommendations for ESL speakers Over at the www.martinloganowners.com forum, you'll find a dizzying array of preferred cables. For many years I used standard Blue Jeans (Belden) cables, which worked fine with my ML Summits. I've recently upgraded to Au24e's which likewise sound ... | |
| Hi Rez digital to Benchmark DAC? I'm feeding a Squeezebox 2 to my Benchmark DAC-1. With the latest firmware, the Classic Squeezebox and Duet models will handle 24/192 and 24/96 files by downsampling to 24/48, which, via the Benchmark, still sound significantly better than Redbook... | |
| Noise on Eva Cassidy-Songbird CD My version is extremely noisy as well. I always wondered if I had a bad disc. Apparently there are various quality ones out there. I wonder if we can get replacements? | |
| 2 channels Tube amp in a HT setup I have a hybrid setup- tube pre and SS amp. Using a Modwright SWL 9.0 Signature with Home Theater Bypass (and Denon 3808CI for 5.1) I would have preferred if the Modwright bypass worked even when powered off, but the 5AR4 and 5687 tubes supposedly... | |
| Best jvc xrcds..... Patricia Barber- CompanionGary Karr- Super Double BassJazz at the PawnshopLightnin' Hopkins- Goin' AwayAnother great thing about XRCD (all versions) is I can rip them to lossless FLAC (unlike SACD's). | |
| ML Summit with Pathos MKII? The low impedance of the stat panels can be a challenge for a lower powered tube (or SS) amp. The Pathos will definitely be able to drive the Summits, though one might argue not ideally. I have a friend who drove his Summits for a while with a (si... |
