    If you had to choose right now between Wadia/Marantz CDP

    if you had to choose today (as I do) which player would you pick and why given these price points: marantz SA-11S1 at 1500+shipping/paypal/insurance. Wadia 302 for 2000+shipping/paypal/insurance. I need as much feedback today as possible on this as I will purchase one of them and audition it...

    Musical Fidelity TriVista21 Vs. Benchmark DAC1 Shootout

    This weekend I have the house to myself as my wife is going to be with her family in MD. I'm taking the opportunity to sit in my theater all weekend and see which one of these will retain the DAC spot in my rack. I received the Benchmark DAC1 today from Benchmark Media and my first impressions...

    The Twins are finally together in my system!

    Right now while I'm waiting for the second pair of Atlonas to come in I am running them in bridged formation with Audio Quest Type 8 bi wire set up. All I can say is Damn 1200 WPC gives more dynamic headroom and 3d Imaging than one could ever hope for. Sounds like heaven. I've even moved my...

    How much do I need to spend to top my source set up?

    I currently use a Denon 3930ci as a transport and feed that via an audioquest VDM-5 digi coax to my Musical Fidelity TriVista 21 tube DAC. Then the signal is output to the Parasound 2100S Preamp via Audioquest King Cobras. On the used music market, and for ~1,500 or less, can I accomplish the...

    Today is a very sad and frustrating day and I need our experts

    Ok my Tech Guru's, I have a huge problem. I received that Classe amp as many of you know...I hooked it up cranked it up and .....Nothing...not a peep out of each channel. But when turned up very loud, the right channel made some static noise and some scratchy rendition of the music playing. I...

    I couldn't wait so I had to buy something to hold me over

    I purchased a Classe CA-201 today to power the odysseys until the XPA-2s are released in 45 days to....well..who knows anymore. I am eagerly awaiting the amp to see how classe pairs up with our ML gear. These amps sell very quickly on Agon, so I figure if it doesn't match up well, it will be on...

    Best place for my Signal cable MagicPower digital ref cables?

    I just bought 3 of these and they arrived today. 1 3ft and 2 6ft. I had planned on 1 for the TriVista 21, and two for the Odysseys, but now I'm perplexed. Should I use the two others on the Processor and Amp? Or Processor and Transport maybe? Any thoughts?

    which bi-amp is more effective?

    I'm thinking of going the Bi-amp route in lieu of the bridged route when my two 2 ch amps get here. I was thinking going Left speaker: amp1 gets HF and amp 2 gets LF, and Right speaker: Amp1 gets LF and Amp2 gets HF. This way I minimize stress on the amps and still retain headroom. Is there a...

    Why no Parasound amps?

    Hey guys, A while back I almost ordered twin A21s to power my MLs and later decided against it once I found this forum. Many advocates of some other great amps, but not really for these amps. Has anyone had any experience with them paired with MLs and just found that they don't make the Logans...

    Krell KAV-2250 or XPA-2?

    I had pre-ordered two Emotiva XPA-2s so that I had the flexibility to either Bi-amp the Odysseys or bridge each one. Specs can be found Here: http://www.emotiva.com/xpa2.html Then I saw this Krell Kav-2250 character and it looks very similar in spec form. If I get the Krell, it would be only...

    192KHZ or 96KHZ with Denon 3930CI and MF TriVista 21?

    I'm trying to set up the TriVista using the Denon 3930CI as the transport and am trying to figure out the best way to go when using my Odysseys. Does anyone know if the Denon uses a Sony output stage? I'm just trying to tweak the sound a bit and am not sure if the 96KHZ setting is the way to go...

    Was it a waste of money?

    Was it worth the money? Hey Guys, I need your ML expertise on this one. I love my Ascents and really didn't have a reason to purchase anything else, but along came a great opportunity to purchase Odysseys at a great price. I went ahead and pulled the trigger and am now wondering if I will see a...

    Greetings fellow ML owners!

    Hello fine Gents and Ladies! I've finally made my way over to this forum. I currently own a pair of Martin logan Ascent (I upgrades) and a ML Stage center channel. I have also just purchased a pair of Odysseys, as I have heard they are a step up from my beloved Ascents. I have a quick question...
