    System #413 (Purity, Encore)

    Updated with power cords and the MultiZone setup. I can now use Klipsch LightSpeakers to stream audio from any source from my Denon 3312ci to my kitchen and main bath. I can even have all the zones playing from different or same sources simultaneously and can control from my iPad or iPhone...

    System #413 (Purity, Encore)

    Another update Update: swapped out some of the interconnects with some slightly better stuff and added the Schiit Bifrost DAC to the list. I'll be using the Bifrost purely for music (much of it ALAC converted from high bit-rate FLAC) coming out of the AppleTV for now. I have my Harmony...

    Cinema to replace Encore TF for Center? Match with Purity?

    Yup, I have the XPA-5 running to my Cinema i, Encore TF Surround sides and rears. My Purities are going straight to my receiver's Pre-outs through interconnects. No problems and sounds great to my ears.

    System #413 (Purity, Encore)

    New Updates for my Pro-Ject RM 1.3: Swapped the Sumiko Pearl MM with a DL-103R MC Cartridge. Knowing that this cartridge needed a heavier arm to play its best, I used a 3 gram metal spacer between the cartridge and headshell with a lite application of Blue-Tack to dampen the mating of the...

    I'd definitely recommend calling up ML. Replacing the Power Supply board did the trick.

    Center channel for Purity

    I've found the Cinema I (if you can find them) a pretty good match to the Purities, but they'll need good amplification to make them sing.

    Cinema to replace Encore TF for Center? Match with Purity?

    Replaced the Cinema i's power circuit board and now the stats have definitely joined the party. On a test tone, I now get full sweep of sound from the woofers to the stats to the tweeter. Oddly enough, I still have to raise the gain on the receiver relative to the other speakers, but that...

    System #413 (Purity, Encore)

    Oh... and the cartridge (once the new stylus was installed) sounded nice and detailed with great trackability... it only skipped on one of my really badly scratched, but cleaned LP's. Some other damaged LP's had a bit of crackle, but still tracked fine and sounded great (considering the LP...

    System #413 (Purity, Encore)

    Sounds great, but then again it's been awhile since I had vinyl. I had the turntable hooked up to my Denon's Phono in before I got the tube box. I had some trouble with the cartridge that was preinstalled, but it was a shipment issue. The stylus was bent and resulting sound was very...

    Thanks! It's an abstract oil painting my uncle left us that his friend painted, from a series called "Chaos to Order". A lot my aunts, uncles and cousins received various other paintings from the series and I got "Order". The others in the series look more like random paint splatters, but my...

    Added updated pics and stats to include my newly acquired Cinema i. Soon will have an Emotiva XPA-5 to feed the center, surrounds and back so going to update the pics afterwards. ;)

    Cinema to replace Encore TF for Center? Match with Purity?

    Update: so Dana from ML Support thinks it could be an internal Power Supply board issue. Ordering a new circuit board and sent instructions that does not look too difficult, so hopefully I can swing the repair myself. In the meantime I'm still going to wall install the Cinema i because with...

    Cinema to replace Encore TF for Center? Match with Purity?

    Already said I vacuumed and blew the panel with air, so that's probably not it. It also "looks" clean now. Removing the power adapter and not hearing a difference seems to be the big clue to me. Even without the a connection to the Mains, will the panel be "powered" enough to emit low level...

    Cinema to replace Encore TF for Center? Match with Purity?

    Received the Cinema i. Since it came from a Pawn shop's online store and it was sitting on the shelf for about a year, I was wary about what condition it would arrive in. It actually came packed in a garbage bag, surrounded by lots of foam peanuts and a super large box marked Fragile (I think...

    Cinema to replace Encore TF for Center? Match with Purity?

    Thanks for the offer but I just bit the bullet on a last minute find: a Cinema I for only $400. Found it via Google Shopping search on a Pawn shop clearinghouse site. It has a few dings in the photos but is stated to work. We'll see. It's definitely a steal if it's a working unit. If not, I...

    Cinema to replace Encore TF for Center? Match with Purity?

    I see a few auctions for Cinema centers (not the "i" models) used for a fairly good price, much lower than "new" Matinee's, but I am wondering if they'd be a good fit with my Purity Front Mains in my 7.2 setup. Since my Purity's have CLS2 Panels, will they match alright with the CLS Cinema's...
