I'm new to vinyl so please bare with me. I purchased a Marantz TT15SI several months ago brand new from an authorized dealer. I have only used it a handful of times honestly. I have notice that the center image is not center, but leaning heavily to the right side. This happens with every record...

So I'm thinking about taking the plunge into vinyl. In a recent topic on this forum, a few of you were advising another member to stay away from vinyl because of his low turntable budget and lack of owned records. I am in a similar situation but am willing to spend $1000-2000 for a player. I...

I'd like to know your guys' personal experiences with the Ayre V5xe and McIntosh MC452. I'm in the market for a 2ch amp for my Spires and wanted to hear some trusted opinions. Eventually soon, I will be able to audition them for myself.

I know I've seen discussion on the forum about it but needed to be refreshed. From your experience, should I plug my Spire's A/C into a power center? What results have you had with this? I was considering the following for each speaker: http://www.panamax.com/Products/Other/MD2-RCA.aspx

I've always purchased CDs and I'm not big on downloading digital audio unless I only want one or two songs from an album. However, I'm considering a Squeezebox Touch and I'm looking for suggestions. I currently use iTunes for my music managing on my MacBook. I usually choose "Apple Lossless" for...

I'll be taking delivery of a pair of Bubinga Spires pretty soon and I'm trying to setup my room for them. Currently I have my TV sitting on a stand with all the components underneath. I'm going to mount my TV and place my components elsewhere in the room because I don't want them between my...

Hey guys! I'm going to be purchasing a pair of Vantages soon. I am interested in choosing a custom wood finish for them, specifically Rotary Cut Bubinga. But Martin Logan's website doesn't do very well at showing these finishes up close. Can you guys offer some photos of all kinds of custom...

Hey guys - I'm considering purchasing a pair of Vantages soon but I don't think I'm financially ready to invest in separates for them, which I would like to do eventually. Any suggestions on certain integrated amps that power Logans well? I had my eye on the Ayre AX-7e.

I don't know much about acoustic panels/room treatments. I was hoping you guys could give me some pointers on what to purchase and from whom. I'm only doing 2ch with Puritys and a Dynamo up front. My Puritys are about 2ft from the front wall, 9ft from side walls, the Dynamo is on the right side...

I'm new to the club and ML speakers (which I don't even have yet). I just started building my system with a Mac C220. I bought a Pioneer Elite DV-46 to use for temporary CD playback until I can afford a better player. I've only been listening through my Grado SR80 headphones since I don't have...

As you can see I'm new around these parts and have been very greatful for the help everyone has given me. I've just started putting a system together with a set of Puritys and a Mac C220. Now it's CD player time! So what is a better route if I want to spend $1200 - 1500? I was thinking Rega...

I'm a little ways away from a cd player purchase but I need some feedback on cd players with balanced outs, ones without and DACs.. I noticed a lot of you are using an outboard DAC. Say I want to spend maximum $1500 on a cd player or tranport/dac combo. I've heard about the cambridge 840c (built...

Want to get into a preamp for primarily two channel playback. I also want tubes. I'm looking at the C220 or the LS17. The Mac offers some more convenience features with a phono input and headphone jack. Anyone have any experience with either one of these? Which one would you get? Thanks!

Does anyone have any experience with the Audio Research SP16 or 17 preamp? I went to my ARC dealer the other day and listened to the SP17. He also said he may be able to get the SP16. I listened to it on a pair of Vandersteens and it sounded great. What do you think of this piece and is there...

I need some help guys! I'll be taking delivery of a pair of Puritys very soon and I want to invest in a nice two channel preamp for them. I am also purchasing an Oppo DV980 too. I'd love to go Mac, ARC, or Cary but I'm on a budget. I see a few of you have Benchmark and Rotel. Two questions: Can...

I'm new to the forum and just purchased a pair of Puritys. I already have a Pioneer Elite VSX82 and I'm interested in puchasing a nice CD/SACD player. I am thinking about getting the Denon DVD3930 because I've heard great things about the audio performance, it's modifiable, and I get a great...
