| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. Funny how many responders can’t follow directions! It was ONE album! 😹 but ditto on Aja…. | |
| Aggrivated tinnitus from speakers? I too have tinnitus but listening to my music never seems to bother me even when played loud. I am using Martin Logan electrostatics….you might consider auditioning this type of speaker, there’s no specific driver emitting high frequency sound a... | |
| Martin Logan vs. Everything I’m a proud owner of ML Classic 9’s setup in a small bedroom, max size speaker for the space but with some properly placed acoustic panels to control reflections the sound is immersive and clear, a B&W sub makes sure the bass is deep and tight... | |
| Looking for a great phono pre-amp in the $1000 or less range So I got really lucky and found a Black Ice Audio Fusion F159 hybrid tube preamp on US Audiomart ($1,875 retail), within my budget. It’ll be delivered tomorrow but it’s a Christmas gift (from the wife to me), so I’ll not get to try her out unti... | |
| Looking for a great phono pre-amp in the $1000 or less range Addendum…the hagerman trumpet while listed as a MC preamp can be used for MM too, currently on sale for just outside my $1k threshold….hmmm! | |
| Looking for a great phono pre-amp in the $1000 or less range Thank you everyone for your input! I’m intrigued by the Hagerman Cornet 4, on sale currently for $500, the downside is it’s MM only with zero adjustments. I don’t want to rule out a MC cartridge in my future (without having to buy more gear). I... | |
| Picking a speakers You don’t need our group permission to buy the 804N’s! Clearly you’re just looking for someone to tell you to get them. If that’s what you really want….then go for it! | |
| Integrated for Martin Logan Electrostatics I concur in the Anthem STR, I’m running the Anthem MCA225mk2 to run my Classic 9’s (so it’s powering the panels and woofers), and it’s a great match. if you look under the cover of ML’s own line of amplification gear, it’s Anthem inside…which tel... | |
| Speaker recommendations :-) My Martin Logan Classic 9’s make jazz a totally immersive experience, for larger rooms one can get the 11A, 13A or for a large room the 15A’s. Guitar, piano and female vocals are just plain lifelike. | |
| Passion, or ..... Precision? I’ve the same issue but find I’ve an entire collection of great sounding music I can now listen to! The trick may be to find some current recordings with a similar rock content to that which we grew up with. Evanescence has some decent studio re... | |
| Subwoofer connection XLR vs RCA Kind of what I expected but wanted to run it up the pole! | |
| Want to add vinyl to my system. I’m in a similar situation, with roughly 400 late 70’s thru early 90’s vinyl and a Grado gold MM on a decent turntable / tonearm set-up but as much as I want to love it, I switch to Tidal and stream the same music and it’s just better…much better.... | |
| Amp Search and Upgrade You should get good money for your integrated, use that as part of your funds…I’ve got the anthem 225mk2, it’ll put out 400 w at 4 ohms and is very clean. I use the NAD C658 preamp / streamer / DAC and it’ll give you a great DAC plus nice preamp c... | |
| Feel free to talk me off the ledge Ah the rabbit hole, most of us are in it at some point. I was an audiophile in the late 70’s and 80’s, then life got busy and eventually I put my dahlquist DQ-10’s in a closet because they were “too big” per the wife. forward to present day sett... | |
| Anybody have plans for building Dahlquist DQ-10 speaker stands? On the dahlquist Facebook site a guy published full dimensions for the stands. |
