I'll be back when I move again, I swear! Joey, I'll buy your Summits when you upgrade. Deal?

Sorry to report I am no longer a Martin Logan owner. I traded in my Aeon i's for a pair of Von Schweikert VR4jr's, which I find to be better suited for my new apartment. Anyway, I've taken my name off the list. But who knows, maybe I'll be an ML owner again by this summer! 1. TomDac & spouse...

Nice Cherian! How's it sound? Better than the Yamaha? I wanna hear it.

Bumping this thread to provide an update: Turntable troubles, no more! I recently got a new audio rack, with the TT sitting on top. I also got a Graham Slee Amp 2 phono preamp. WOW! I've only listened to a few of my albums, but what I've heard so far is butter. Much better than my digital...

1. TomDac & spouse 2. Dave for sure, wife maybe 3. Joey for sure, gf maybe 4. Joe for sure. 5. Wayne for sure, wife maybe. 6. Jonfo for sure, wife for sure. 7. Chris (cstpeter), fiance maybe 8. 9. 10.

Well, I had a great time on Sunday. I'm lucky to live a few blocks from both Cherian and Joey, two incredibly knowledgeable (and cool) ML enthusiasts. You guys know your stuff--very impressive! Thanks for understanding that I had to bail early. I went to the library for a while, but couldn't...

A get-together would be great. I would love to hear some other systems, get feedback on my system, and/or check out Glen Poor (I've always been a little intimidated by that place). Pretty much any weekend works for me.

Thanks for the input everyone. All moved in, but still figuring out the setup. Bad news. I ran into the previous tenant, who said he put his TV above the fireplace and it melted. Don't think I'll be risking it with the ML's. Joey and Cherian, I'm in 60661 at Jackson and Des Plaines. I'm...

Thanks for the input. Cherian, your reply is troubling; Steve, your's is assuring. I'm torn! I guess I'll monitor the heat output, and if it gets to hot, then I'll have to come up with an alternative. Steve, I'm working full time and pursuing a evening J.D., so I doubt I'll have much time...

Hello all, I'm moving into a new place tomorrow and it looks like the only spot for the beloved Aeon i's is flanking a small gas fireplace. I have no idea how much heat the fireplaces gives off, but the speakers will be 3-4 feet away to each side. Any thoughts on how sensitive Martin Logan's are...

Very commendable Joey. Hope everything works out. As a side note, I'm in my twenties too. I think I (and others in our generation) can learn from your maturity.

Got mine yesterday. Thanks to Joey and Maxwell! Now, where to put it...

We could be on to something. My TT sits in one of the glass cabinets of the below TV stand. Could this be causing problems?

Thank you everyone for the advice. I will grab a cartridge alingment tool ASAP and will start scouring Audiogon for phono pres, preferably tube (great analogy, kach22!). Thanks again; I'm sure I'll have more questions soon.

Hello all. I'm maybe one step beyond novice (if that), so bear with me. Wondering if anyone can offer advice on how to make my Pro-Ject Xpression turntable sound better. See, I got it about three months ago and haven't been as impressed as I anticipated. Fellow member slowGEZER recently...
