I jumped on the sacd trend early on and later transitioned into to blu ray audio. One obvious advantage blu ray has is the addition of a visual stimulus...even if it is just cover art. Leaving that out of the comparison, I prefer the actual sound from blu ray more than sacd. I just use my...

I rather like the demo models seen in the youtube videos that have a clear top. Any chance we will be able to purchase one of those? Dominick

In a world where people are quick to complain with the expectation that their whining will quickly be pacified, I wanted to give a specific kudos to a member at Martin Logan. Melodie, although she probably does not realize it, has helped me several times with minor issues over the years. She is...

oops ok--I am on here with fair regularity and must have missed it. Just thought I was helping. Feel free to remove. Thanks, Dominick

Just wanted to share this link with everyone. I was just doing some reading about Prodigy's when there it was-a write up disclosing where the ML low range comes from. I have personally called ML to find out who makes there subs and they decline to disclose that info. Maybe this will help...

HUB, I feel your pain with bad customer service, but if the Emotiva Amp is what you are wanting or any other amp for that matter, I dont see this as a real big deal? Maybe I am too laid back, but the order was messed up or delayed or obviously mishandled by Emotiva for some reason, but I just...

I saw it! It was very interesting and well done. Take this with a grain of salt as they have about an 8 minute segment to talk about the process. The show really focused on the "How its made" more so than "why its made" a certain way. But that is what the show is called, so they delivered! All...

Thanks for the recommendations! Dominick

So I am in the mood to get a couple new very musical holiday CD's. I am interested in instrumentals and vocal renditions of the standard holiday traditions. What would really be nice is a very full professional chior or something of the sort that is accompanied by an ochestra. Any...

Thanks for the reply. I may buy one of those kits! Dominick

Hi guys, I have the itch again! I am looking for a high end amp or pre amp kit that is complete. I dont want to get into any design needs other than the physical construction of the amp housing. Does anyone know of a copy cat amp kit that is out there? I am willing to spend a chunk of money...

Agreed, I sent my everest cables to audiogon to be reterminated to fit the xpa-1's. $80, which really seems decent to me since they are several hundred new. So the amps were 1,040 each instead of $1,000. The cables increased my cost by 4%. I am ok with that! lol Dominick

I think you caught me! This is the tube piece I referred to as "passive". http://shop.grantfidelity.com/B-283-Tube-Processor.html They call it a processor. I used the term "passive" because it does not have a gain and if I dont activate the unit, then the audio signal will pass through...

I dont get it? I own XPA-1's mated with Ascent i's. Best Amps I have ever personally owned. Best amps I ever heard mated with Logans was a full Krell front end. I just dont get how one could so adamantly state that any amp is garbage? I mean, amps are like chocolate chip cookies. 2 brands will...

I am curious to see what you have read regarding the f3 also known as the resonant frequency. Everything I have learned regarding speaker and box building suggests that the f3 is a result of physical components. IE: the speaker and the box. It is my understanding that the only way to change the...

Great--at least you were able to make a decision. Also, I have been hearing that a newer company called Hertz is making a big statement on the car audio scene. You might want to check them out for components also. BIGAUDIOFANATIC- I would love to hear some Focal components and considered them...

I love JL for car speakers. I have owned JL, MB Quart, and now McIntosh speaker systems for the vehicles. I personally like the JL Audio the best. I do not think they are overpriced. This is what I like about them. They do an excellent job of understanding that the speaker will be in a very...

Just another option. I run the Ascent i's and if I could afford it, I would get the mcintosh 500 watt monos. Since that is getting too pricey for me, I settled for the Emotiva 1,000 watt monos that cost $1,000 per unit. Anyway, I saw that you had mentioned spending $3k. You might want to check...

I wish I was talented enough to do the box that is in there now, but it was professionally done. The biggest sonic improvement I have noticed so far is the accurate reproduction of the snare drum and other transients standing out more. Dominick

I second the interest in hearing what ML said about Emotiva since my entire system is Emotiva. Thanks, Dominick
