| Ribbon & ceramic, love them? My observations were similar, except I don't think it's just the type of driver material. I think speaker designers in general are primarily voicing there speakers for the utmost in detail, transparency, and dynamics. This is not necessarily a bad... | |
| Amp heat sinks are ringing FYI, most general use electrical tape is UL Listed and certified to 176 degrees. I SERIOUSLY doubt the claims by those who say it will melt and "make a mess" by being attached to the edge of an amplifier heatsink fin. Anyway, it worked first-hand ... | |
| Amp heat sinks are ringing Perhaps someone suggested this and I just missed it. The easiest thing to try first is just apply one continuous strand of electrical tape across edges of the fins connect them via the tape, which changes their ability to vibrate. You may have to ... | |
| Which speaker is the master of IMAGING ???? At the HE2002 show, didn't Legend have the lights turned out in their room to make it very dark. If so, this could partly explain a better perception in imaging. Just do the same or close your eyes while listening to any speakers. It was a smart i... | |
| Who's to blame for the Grain?? Because you're at a nascent stage and on a limited budget, I'm going to suggest something a little more radical, and something I wish someone would have done for me when I was starting out.First, I wouldn't buy anything right now. As good as some ... | |
| Why so few pictures posted in Virtual systems? This is actually a good question. Posting pictures of your system should be promoted, especially if you hold yourself out as an expert and perform reviews. The value is not in seeing the equipment, but seeing the listening room and how it is setup... | |
| mcCormack or Plinius I have alot of experience with McCormack products and some with the Plinius. Generally, the big SA series Plinius amps will outperform the stock McCormack amps. Those big Plinius's are some of the best SS amps I've heard. The problem is that they ... | |
| what's my problem? I think you answered your own question when you said the speakers are too large for your room and the bass is boomy. Excessive bass energy could definitely give you the perception of less midrange clarity and lack of air and extension.In fact, it'... | |
| Best CDP isolation device you use? I found the Clearaudio Magix to work very well. They are expensive, but when you consider they totally decouple the CDP via magnets from any floor/shelf born vibrations, it's probably worth it. You can also save money by not having to invest as he... | |
| Recommended Ribbon Speaker Cables If you need 20ft of speaker cable, it will be hard to find high quality stuff for less than $350 (sad, but true).However, I have two possible suggestions. The cheapest would be to make your own flat ribbon speaker cable. I believe the guy at the t... | |
| advice on brightness I don't have a quick fix for you. Actually, I have a question about the brightness you hear. Is it bright compared to other similar budget systems you've heard?Here's why I ask. While you have a nice first system, almost any system in a similar bu... | |
| Martin Logan Aeons and Depth I don't want to throw a monkey wrench into your plans, but as a former Martin Logan owner, I want to make sure you take some things into consideration.1. The sweet spot of ML is extremely small and if you stand up even in the "sweet spot" things q... | |
| Power and Pre amp HELP & Recommendations needed. The one thing I would question is your need to go the separates route. With a $4000 budget, you're in a difficult range where a combo of separates may not be better than a really good integrated.In fact, for $4000, I can't think of too many separa... | |
| Mono block suggestions I'm not sure I follow why you need monos for the ML Clarity, but, nevertheless, I think you should check out VTL amps for the Logans. They seem to work very well together.If I understand though, you eventually plan to keep your 5 channel Acurus am... | |
| Need opinion in searching for new pre-amp Alot depends on your associated equipment (besides just the amp). It's commonplace to match speakers with amps and amps to preamps. However, whenever you change a component like the preamp, the entire setup must be thoroughly considered.Almost eve... |
