Hello. I'm using a pair of Theos with the PrimaLuna Prologue 7 Mono Blocs, and find the combination to be the best I've tried to date. True, the Mono Blocs have more power, nominally 70/channel, but are more than ample for my Theos, plus, Kevin (Upscale Audio) has a GREAT (IMO) price on the Mono...

Sounds like it's too late, Jordan. http://www.martinloganowners.com/forum/showthread.php?14619-System-461-(Theos)

75-100 hours for the most basic changes. Probably hear small changes (depending on your ears, LOL) for up to 200 hours. I think tubes are the way to go, or, if you want to keep the temperature (literally) down, the Rogue Audio "Medusa" is a class D hybrid, with a S/S power section and tube...

Hello, and welcome. I think the number of different amps reflected by the group is a large number, generally reflected by the individual tastes of the listener. The names you mention, are an interesting set, I think. I think Krell is a name from the past, I don't think their new stuff is on a...

Prefer analog!!

OK, I hate to sound "behind the times", but I respect and admire my ARC Ref CD-8. The quality of playback is superb, and with the new version currently on the market, they can probably be had for significantly less than they were priced a year or so ago. I bought mine as a "Demo" for a little...

Dave, that would be very cool. I almost can't believe the difference compared to the Medusa, and that's with the "stock" tubes. The KT-88's I know are nice, but I figure there's a lot of room with the other tubes for tweaking. Kevin said they would be like "peanut butter and jelly", as far as...

OK, I guess it was just a matter of time (and not too much of it at that), but I've made the change-over to all tube amplification. My new pair of PrimaLuna Prologue 7 Mono Blocks have arrived and now taken their place as the guts of my system. I'll give reviews as it burns-in, and can't wait...

Hi Bernard. I had my tech go through the unit top-to-bottom in December, when we redid the Caps, wiring, and a few of the circuits. I doubt it ever sounded as good as it does now, and the Telefunkens were a more recent acquisition (about a month ago), and Kevin Deal (Upscale Audio) thought they...

OK, first, in full disclosure, I'm an ARC guy, but I think they made their bones with Pre-amps, not Power Amps. I'm using a classic upgraded ARC Pre, the SP-11, MK II, with upgraded Caps and wiring. I also use an ARC Ref CD-8, and had used a modded ARC SP-6 Pre-amp for years. I do have a set of...

62...which means I was there to listen to some great music, live!! Theos.

Hola, Roberto. My Levinson Power Amp has the "biggest" bass of all my amps, and I think they're known for that. But, more to the point, the bottom end on my Theos evolved with time as well, and I think 100 hours is just a starting point. Anxious to hear results after another 100+ hours or so.

The CD's they produce are some of the finest recordings I have heard as well. They sent me one of their samplers, and I started ordering them. They're priced pretty well if you buy I think it's 4 at once. I'm a jazz person, and some are amazing.

Pierre, at Mapleshade, has opened my eyes (actually, my ears) to this. The first time I tried one of platforms and set of footers, it was beneath a s/s amp, a Cary 200.2, and I was astounded at the difference. Here are some of his brief summaries from their web site...

Also, after re-reading your description above, I think your components should not be on anything that rolls. Direct, solid, immovable support to the floor is important, IMO, in resolving and removing spurious vibrations.

I'm interested in how the overall depth and stage develop. The ML's, by their design, transmit sound forward and back, but your room has no reflective surfaces to the rear of the speakers. Give them a couple of hundred hours for the caps to burn in, and let us know, please. Enjoy Scotty...

I know...I could see the area from my kitchen window, like Sarah and Russia.

Yes, there is. But like Lisa Bloom (MSNBC) was saying all along, the prosecutors did an awful job. I live in Central Florida, and got into a "discussion" while waiting in a Drs. office on Friday. The basic sentiment in the community is extremely racist, and the locals truly believed that the...

It's one of the 3 months of late fall, as Boonville approaches it's 9 months of winter.

Tug Hill as a winter playground? I lived in Boonville for a bit (40 years ago), one of the few places....well, let's just say it snowed a bit....EVERY DAY!!!!!! But the Northern Lights were amazing on those cold winter nights.
