thanks for the great discussion and input. I ended up moving on from the Aerius i after all. In fact, leaving the ML family:( I found a pair of clean Quad 57 instead. Still staying with the ESL family. Currently the Quad is in battle with the wife. She's still getting used to having two...

I did a quick search and saw a few post regarding Aerius i upgrading to Ascent. And other post of Source upgrade to Summit, etc. Just curious if anyone upgraded from Aerius i to the Source? Would that be consider an upgrade/downgrade/sidestep?

I have a MC275 with it. Love the smoothness of the tube.

I never heard a system in setup like yours, but if you like tube, I suggest Opera Audio Consonance Droplet 5.0 CDP. I changed quite a bit of things around and finally settle on this one. It's running direct into my Mc275. You should be able to find one on gon for $1500-$1600.

I'm on the camp of leaving it open. At the same time, putting in the restriction of 1 month joining is a good idea. I found this site after I bought my ML looking for more information. so I would say I'm 80% lurker and 20% poster. At the same time, it was because of this site that I went on...

I used a Kimber D60. Picked it up from gon under $200. Worked great. A lot more clarity from my old CD Player. Might have it up for sale soon since I moved to a Tube CD Player and connecting XLR directly to the amp.

I been changing so many things around haven't had a chance to take a good picture. It's pretty much done for now. I'll get some pictures up.

welcome!! You'll find a lot of great info here as well as a helpful bunch of folks!! My aerius i got me started back on the audiophile scene as well as putting a hole through my wallet on upgrading all the other pieces of my systems :) You'll love these speakers!!

maybe slightly off topic of the original poster. Just curious maybe someone here might know. My house is old and as far as I know it doesn't have the ground. All outlets are 2 prong. Does that mean I would potentially get a better sound with less interference? I know it's probably not safe...

Soundtracks are a good idea. Didn't even think of that. I recently heard the Twelve girls band. They just had a concert in the Bay Area not too long ago. In case anyone is interested here is the wiki for the band. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve_Girls_Band But the music was a little too...

I know this is a long shot, but I though I might ask anyways. Not sure if anyone can actually recommend any classical Chinese music? Especially with classical Chinese instruments? I picked up a couple from the local Chinese book store. But with CD title Tea drinking Chinese Music, it makes me...

I got some of my equipment from there. The best ones so far have been the ones I found on there and it turns out the guy is local too. So cash pickup is always a safe bet.

I have carpet

Looking at getting some spikes for my aerius i. I did some search and found some good alternative to the ones Martin Logan sells. Just curious if anyone used Black Diamond Racing cones on their Martin Logans?

I currently use Kimber Hero RCA and Kimber 8TC. Anyone used Audio Art IC-3 before? From all the reviews, it looks interesting as well as another cost effective alternative.
