Well, here are my experiences, for what it is worth. I am currently using a 60g Ipod Classic as my main source for digital, and is fairly happy with it, although it is not on par with a good CD player these days, as others have commented. The good thing is that the ipods shortcomings are...

Upgrading the power cord, or changing it will, in my experience change the sound. Same with a power conditioner. The change may be positive or not, I have experienced both! At least try before you buy, I am running the originals with my Aeon-I's directly to a dedicated line. Only higher end...

Biwire! Congrats on your new speakers! I have always found biwiring to be beneficial, but the degree is somewhat dependent on speaker, I do not know how much the improvement would be in the Summit. I also agree with some of the other posters that you should look at other ways of configuring the...

Well, at least I can share my experiences - with bad AC, a PS Audio Ultimate Outlet was an improvement for all my stuff. When moving house 2 years ago, I got the electician to put in a dedicated circuit for the audio, using 25 amp rated cabling, but regular 15 A breaker and sockets. After this...

I¨ll second nsgarch opinion, tube amps bring out more in the ML´s. I also did a comparison of the Mac MA2275 tube integrated, which is similar to the MC275, and 400 W Mac ss monoblocks at a dealer (not driving logans, but low impedance speakers of a different brand) and the MA2275 beat the hell...

Jeff, you did not pick up any rumours on the CLX project while you were there? Best Regards Svein

Hannu, sounds very interesting. Is your Quad the 15 W version or the 40 W version? And I assume it drives the speakers full range? I have the Aeon I and also think this speaker can be powered by a relatively low powered tube amp, the question is how low! best regards Svein Norway

Cherian, I heard the new japanese pressing was cancelled, but have not got this firmly confirmed. You guys got me drooling, my new Aja copy is at the postoffice waiting, will pick up tomorrow. I will compare to my (old) Japanese pressing and put in a report. The CD versions I have of Steely...

I have had Nordost Blue Heavens for a few years in my system, both for speaker an interconnect. The Nordost cables get better as you move up the line, I have heard the Valhallas, and they are absolutely stunning, as well as hideously expensive. So it is a question of how much money you are...

Hi, now you got me confused, the MA2275 is the integrated version of the MC275, both are rated at 75 WPC. To answer the power question, the MA2275 had more than enough power to drive the Aeon-I´s. But they are not exactly like, the MA 2275 i.e. has 2,4, and 8 ohm speaker connection while the...

Hello, After a very nice demo of a tube amp with Vantages (the T-A V10) I started looking around for tube amps for my Aeon-I´s. I have tried a McIntosh MA2275 at home and it sounded pretty good. I have seen quite a few positive posts about the MC275, but little on the MA2275. Anybody here have...

For me, I find I upgrade my system every 10-15 years, usually because something breaks down (well, the amp!). I then find a lot has changed in the hifi world, (I may have new preferences as well), and end up getting a more or less complete new system. This process takes about 2 years, before I...

Great thread! Room corrections has a huge impact. Myself, I have a room mode giving me a nasty 125hz peak unless I put something in the corner behind the left speaker. Experimenting with cushions and furniture I have been able to get reasonable sound, but I am getting ready for some proper...

Hi Has anyone tried the DNM solid core speaker cables (and interconnects) with Logans?. It has been around a while here in Europe, and has generally got good reviews. For what it is worth, Sam Tellig in Stereophile recommended solid core speaker cables with the Aerius (I think) in a review a...

Hi I drive my Aeon-i's with a Linn 2250, and this works pretty well. I had on loan a set of Simaudio Moon separates (which are supposed to be pretty good with ESLs) after I got the speakers, but much prefered the Linn. The Linn should be available used in Europe for about 1500-2000 USD, so it...

Hi, I have not heard the Vantages, but if they sound anything like my Aeon-i's, they should not sound brighter than cone speakers unless the cables or the components is a bad mismatch, or placement is way off. Krell is quality stuff, so I would tend to suspect cabling or placement. What...

Your turntable should sound much better than CD! The way you describe the situation, something has to be seriously wrong. Take it to somebody knowledgeable (shop or friend) and have the 'table checked out and confirmed everything is in working order, aligned etc. Also check that your amp is...

No, I am fairly happy with the sound, but things can always get better. And yes, I have been thinking of the bi-amp route. Will happen some time in the future. I am trying to find a pair of used biwire Nordost SPM's, but that has proven difficult here in Norway. I like the Nordost cables with...

I meant - have any of you tried running double lengths of Nordost Blue Heavens rather than biwire? Sorry if this was unclear! Svein

I know several here are running Nordost Blue Heaven. I have 4m lenghts, in biwire configuration. The single wire version of the same cable just has a single set of connections at the speaker end. I do not need more than 2 m lengths after getting my room setup fixed. Any opinions on cutting the...
