    Hello from Vancouver BC Canada

    Hello,

    The site is telling me to introduce myself so here I am. I am an avid gear head, headphone freak, DAC maniac, Speaker Lover, Downhill Mountain Biker, GAMER (PC,XBOX), and generally love life.

    I work in the industry for a Custom Integration Company and we specialize in Control4, lots of High End 2-Channel gear, and fancy theatre rooms. I am happy to help anyone with questions they may have but I really just love technology and enjoy talking it with my fellow aficionados.

    My setup at home

    Martin Logan Purity Electrostatic Speakers
    Teac UD-501 DSD DAC
    Sherbourn PRE-1 Pre Amp
    Laptop running J-River
    MIT Cabling/PS Audio Power Cords AC3

    I absolutely love them!! I never used to like Electrostats until I heard the newer Martin Logan's...They are extremely revealing, huge sound stage, tight bass, everything a guy could ask for. WIth DSD files/24bit its mind boggling how good it sounds..I just recently put the Teac UD-501 into my system and it made a big difference as well. I was previously using the PS Audio NuWave and it was great but not as good as the Teac. Once I bank some more $$ I will be upgrading to the Ethos with a Sim Audio Neo Integrated amp. One day I will be able to afford it.

    Welcome to AR. What are you using for a power amp? I've liked ML all the way back to the ReQuests and SL3's.

    Hi, Mr P,

    The Purity's are self powered. I just go line level from my preamp directly into them. One less step to have to worry about

    That explains it, I forgot about that, I was thinking they only powered the bass module. You could make for some interesting set ups with a speaker like that. Dynaudio has a fairly broad line of powered speakers now with built in DAC, I think they are spelled Xenos.
