| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers Someone should tell Martin Logan about all this. Those idiots are telling people that their speakers can be used with a wide variety of tube and solid state amps. | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers Bifwynne and everyone else,Thanks for your efforts to clear up the technical issues involved. | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers I think that ML designed their current line to be used with either tube or ss amps, the choice being the user's.Robert Deutsch spoke with Peter Soderberg of ML who told him that of the systems he has set up using tube amps, about half prefer the 4... | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers Or you could check the ML website. According to ML the hybrids can be driven by amps outputting between 20, yes 20, and 500 wpc.Maximum power draw is 200 wpc.Rather than argue theory, give them a listen, then you'll know what amps they make beauti... | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers Robert Deutsch reviewed the ML Montis hybrid for Stereophile and concluded that despite the .5 ohm impedance at 20khz, the speakers could be driven nicely by the McIntosh 275 on their 8 ohm taps and even by the PrimaLuna Prologue Premium integrate... | |
| New Beatles American Hey Jude cd It's probably not you. I don't think Capitol cared what went onto the Beatles albums as long as they sold huge quantities of them. The mistake was probably corrected by mistake also. | |
| PS Audio DAC II or Bryston: two great machines Acoustic Sounds is selling DSD downloads for $25, so I guess they're DOA, Neal. Maybe if volume gets high enough Sony will start selling them directly and the price will then come down. I'm sure Sony really wants to sell their back catalog one mor... | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers Hi Smurf, your Aerius-is are getting a little long in the tooth too. Maybe you could fix the Butler and then save up for a whole new setup? The new Martin Logans sound really nice.People recommend the usual wide variety of tube and solid state amp... | |
| Where is All the DSD? I've been hearing about high-res downloads and easy to use servers to play them that are "just around the corner" for about 20 years now. I hope that Sony will come through, but I advise patience and waiting till the goods are available before buy... | |
| VAC 300.1a Tube Rolling You could try calling Upscale Audio or Brent Jessee (Audiotubes.com), or, for current production tubes, Jim McShane. These are just a few of the sellers who are considered good dealers who will give you good advice.Check out their websites to dete... | |
| PS Audio Phono + Sony HAP-Z1ES TAS has an article on the NuWave phono converter in the current issue (March) including a one and a half page sidebar on how to archive your vinyl by Paul McGowan, the owner of PS Audio. | |
| PS Audio Phono + Sony HAP-Z1ES PS Audio has forums on their website, just hit the Community button, and I'd guess that this topic has been discussed there at length. If it has not been discussed already, I'm sure there would be no shortage of people willing to explain what you ... | |
| Pat Metheny re issues? It appears that ECM remastered some of them, e.g. American Garage, New Chautauqua, in 2008 for a Touchstones series of reissues. If 2000 is too far past for you, I'd recommend waiting for High-Res downloads. | |
| Time for POT? previously owned tubes I can not tell how closely tubes are matched by listening to them either. I'm just guessing but it would seem that as long as they're not approaching "Bad" readings they would be able to produce the appropriate amount of electrons.It also seems th... | |
| Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013 Sbayne,We don't want to start a debate, remember? Please just keep your arrogant dismissal of digital sound quality out of these threads. You're just making yourself sound like a blowhard. The time when vinyl blew digital out of the water is past ... |
