Right now, I'm listening to: Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals - Burn to Shine. Just gotta love Tubes, Vinyl and ML's!! Earlier: Kathleen Edwards - Back to Me The Velet Underground & Nico Blue Merle - Burning in the Sun Next LP? Maybe: Ani Difranco - Knuckle Down

My AES Sixpac's with 50 wpc have more than enough juice for my original CLS's. No rolling off of the high's either. I currently have the bass rolled off at 100hz to a sub and they will play much louder than I find necassary.

I am using a Placette passive preamp (i.e., not really a preamp, just a switching device with very high quality resistors to attenuate the signal). With a good source components, it definitely sounds better than all the preamps I have tried in my system.

I'll raise your two cents! So you are saying that Martin Logan should design their high-end speakers so they will not reveal the sonic nature of amp, pre, source, etc.? If they do that, then they are no longer a high-end speaker. High-end speakers, Logan's or not, really start revealing the...

How stable is it? Could a bump knock it off the stand? I have been thinking about having one made for my table. Since I have kids, I am more worried about flying objects larger than a piece of dust. I was thinkink of making a lip that rests on the outside of the stand.

I've yet to hear of any effort put into putting anti-copying code on to LP's :cool:

Yep, I am using a Placette Passive Preamp. And, with great results!

Cool photo of the Champ 2. How about a pic with clear or blue semi-transparent album? What are you using as a light source?

Everthing used or DIY except the turntable, catridges, and tubes.

Yes, cartridges can make a big difference. Still, the Arum shouldn't sound real thin. It may be a setup issue. It the platter level? Is cartridge properly aligned and have the correct traking force? As far as isolation goes, a wall shelf is the best way to go. DIY options are easy or you can...

This batch just set me back 13 dollars and some change: Shorty Rogers Big Band - "Jazz Waltz" Chet - the lyrical trumpet of Chet Baker. Big Lucky, Big Amos, Don Hines - River Town Blues Gil Evans: Live at the Public Theater Vol.2 (New York 1980) Clark Terry/Bob Brookmeyer Quintet - "gingerbread...

I have! I am pretty darn happy with 50 watts of tube bliss. Beats the snot out of my previous 200 watts of high current SS.

You will fine testing with the Yamaha. Just don't crank it all the way up.

I would roll CLS's off a little lower. Around 100-125Hz and let a good sub hand the remaining frequency range. That is what I am doing with my CLS's in a two channel set-up.

I have many, many great sounding LP's from that era? I didn't realize they were doing digital back then. :D

Why don't you just use another Monolith other large ML for the center?

Wavestream V8 Mono's!

Clearaudio makes good, neutral tables. I have a Clearaudio Champion with Rega RB300 arm, Quint Wiring and a Heavy Weight counter weight. I am also using a Shelter 501 moving coil cartridge and modded EAR 834P phono stage. Before upgrading the table, I would go with a new cartridge. Your table...

I had a 68 Firebird Convertible in highschool. Added Doug Nash swaybars, KYB shocks, new rims, low profile rubber. Had a lot of fun in that car. Both parked and rolling! Boy, come to think of it, I have not done four wheel drifts in years! Or, for that matter, had that kind of passion in a...

Happens far to often to musicians. Eric Dolphy is great that should be added to the list. In my mind, my grandfather is another. Though, he died before he became real popular. He had his own big band in the 30's. Spinal menigitis took him while he was in his late 20's.
