| Merlin owners, AC or battery for BAM? 10 hours? In my experience, 30-40 hours is when it really starts getting fun. Enjoy! | |
| Merlins VSM placement question Pabul57: Front of tweeter dome is 67 1/2" from front wall and 39" from side walls. How about yours? (And actually, the width of my room is more like 11' 10".) | |
| Merlins VSM placement question All I can say is, "Location, location, location."I've had MerlinVSM-MMe's for three years now. I've tried a few placements in my 12' x 18' room. SPeakers are firing down the long wall. I've pretty much followed the Cardas model and had good succes... | |
| Computer system Kinjanki: I think that's the point of his question. He's assuming that I do have a screen and wondering why I wouldn't just use the Mini's remote.Mozartrules: Actually, I can boot up the Mini and launch iTunes without ever turning on a computer sc... | |
| Computer system Computeraudiophile.com has a ton of information about setup options. Chris there is very helpful.My setup:1) Drobo multiple hard drive storage system. Automatically creates a mirror copy of files in case one hard drive dies.2) Additional external ... | |
| Musical Speakers - If you like that sort of thing. I generally agree that there are two aspects to this hobby, but I would frame them somewhat differently. For me, the two aspects are 1) the "illusion" aspect and 2) the "pleasure" aspect. I think of the first as being a more intellectual endeavor.... | |
| To ARS Sonum/Merlins owners - Which CD player ? I have Filarmonia/VSM's and I have used the amazing Altmann Attraction DAC for the past two years. Best digital sound I've ever heard. | |
| Question for Merlin VSM/ARS Sonum owners Thanks for the input, Bobby. It would be silly for me to make any moves until the new babies arrive and I've had some time to get familiar with them, anyway. | |
| Question for Merlin VSM/ARS Sonum owners Any recommendations on where to buy these tubes? | |
| Merlin vsm mme owners, Cardas cabling Question. Sstalwar, I had AU24 speaker cables and had them upgraded to "e" status. I found the upgrade to be a good value. Definitely provided more detail and texture. Eventually I moved on to Cardas GR, which I find provides improved frequency extension an... | |
| Merlin vsm mme owners, Cardas cabling Question. Marty, no offense taken at all. My comments were more directed at the complaint that the basic design of the VSM's hadn't changed. Here's a possible explanation of the "cult" phenomenon: I think that some of us appreciate the recommendations of de... | |
| Merlin vsm mme owners, Cardas cabling Question. Maybe I am one of those cult-like followers, but I can say first hand that each improvement to the VSM's that I've personally experienced was not at all subtle. I went from upgraded VSM-MMe with leaded Super BAM to a lead-free Super BAM and it was... | |
| Is there a good 5 disc CD player out there ??? Sorry, just saw your question. It's called the Attraction. You can get more information at Charles Altmann's website:http://www.mother-of-tone.com/attraction.htmBe prepared. This is an extremely unconventional design. Requires a car battery to pow... | |
| Focal Mini Utopia vs Merlin MXe I have an ARS Filarmonia and love it. I don't have a ton of experience with tube amplifiers, but the combination of this little amp plus the VSM-MMe's with Master BAM and RC's sounds amazing to me. I hear solid-state-like speed and authority combi... | |
| Focal Mini Utopia vs Merlin MXe Sstalwar, congratulations! Once I discovered the VSM's, I was done with my speaker search. Can't imagine you'll be disappointed. Just wondering, did you order your speakers with the Master BAM? The Duelund caps blow the whole thing to a new level. |
