    Bloom in sound from Summits

    Don't know where your bass setting are but I'm in a near as damn square room (13'x14') and a suspended wooden floor. I have my Summits on 350mm x 550mm x 30mm marble slabs, 3' out from media racks (lp & cd) and centreline to sidewalls 2', speakers are 8' apart centre to centre. My bass settings...

    Thinking of Purchasing a Turntable; Any and All Advice Welcome!

    If you've got the money available then go for a Brinkmann Bardo/Oasis or Taurus (Direct Drive) and either their 10.5" or 12.1" arm, you'll never need to upgraded your tt ever again. I currently run a Bardo with a 12" Origin Live Enterprise Mk4 and Koetsu Rosewood Signature Platinum. Not only...

    Thinking of Purchasing a Turntable; Any and All Advice Welcome!

    Yep this analogue lark is dangerous, and leads to lots of expensive fun. I bought a Manticore Mantra compete with RB250 or £329new in 1987, I lived th his tt + amp and speakers qehappily until 2016 when I got back into the hobby following an inheritence. I decided I deserved a modest upgrade...

    Main problem in keeping the valve amps is having £3k/$4k just sitting in the corner doing nothing. Whilst I'm in no financial rush to move them on, its a lot of money to be just sat there, especially as the sound with my Nords is so stunning. I've not lost any richness but have added detail, but...

    Ideal ML for 13X14X8 room size

    I appreciate there is a difference between masterpiece and electromotion speakers but I'm running Summits (which also have 11" wide panels) in a 12x14x8 room with no issues at all and I've not got the benefit of ARC to tweak the bass. No ringing, no boominess and no room treatment, just carpet...

    Thinking of Purchasing a Turntable; Any and All Advice Welcome!

    What loading do you have your cart on? As whilst 100 Ohms is the norm used for fixed load mc phonos & works with most carts, with the 12 Ohm internal impedence of the cart its only giving 8.5x internal impedence. Whereas the general, rule of thumb is 10-12x internal impedence. Personally I would...

    Well they've arrived, a F me sideways, they're stunning, I grabbed myself a couple of 350mm x 550mm, 30mm thick black marble slabs for them to stand on (suspended wooden floor that can act like a soundbox). Dealer spent a good 1. 5 hours on setup & tweaking before leaving me to it. I started...

    Luckily here in the UK we don't suffer from horrendous storms with electrical spikes taking out kit. Also I'm buying used from an ML dealer, who is one of the good guys in the trade. When I auditioned them last Wednesday they were working perfectly so hopefully ongoing there should be no...

    New ML Summit owner saying Hi.

    Hi All. I live in the UK and have just bought myself a used pair of all black Summits from Guildford Audio. They're being delivered on Wednesday and I can't wait. Got converted to stats by a friend a couple of years back and bought his Quad 989s when he upgraded to 2905s. Unfortunately over the...
