| Anyone familiar with McIntosh 122 Amplifier ? I think it is a great little amp. I have a Mc7100 too (with a C712 preamp - the best combo I have found to date for the price!) and the 122 is very similar in sound quality. The 7100 has balanced connections and a little more power over the 122 bu... | |
| Mac 402 vs 6900 The 402 is supposed to be a little faster - like the 602 from what I hear - but I'd say that it will still have McIntosh sound (hopefully). My buddy loves his Thiels but he complains about how each inch he moves them, the sound changes (he uses Mc... | |
| Paradigm 100 v.3 – B&W 804 dilemma… please help By the way, "kickin phat bass" is good - especially when you can have all the rest as well. Arthur | |
| McIntosh MCD-205 Changer? The MCD205 is a very cool CD player. The CDs all feed into one slot and it sorts them internally. Pretty cool to see. The "spool-up" time is a little long (about like the Sony C555ES actually) but the sound is worth it - warm, full, articulate, an... | |
| Paradigm 100 v.3 – B&W 804 dilemma… please help I used to own B&W N804s - for two years. I liked them, they looked good, and they were as good as I could hope for the crazy deal I got on them. Then I came across the Paradigm 100.2 (i.e. v2) and was very impressed. I compared them to the 804... | |
| CD players with volume control ????? All the Sony ES CDPs I have had have volume control. Make sure you have enough amp gain though before buying a CDP. Most CDPs can't output more than 2V. | |
| Electrical problem associated with all of my amps The problem is likely a too large line drop from your power pole transformer. A 200A service doesn't matter - what matters is how far your transformer is from your house. It sounds to me that it is too far (or too many houses on the same one) and ... | |
| Amplifier Recommendation for B&W Nautilis 804 I got a good deal on used N804s one time. They had a beautiful cabinet and all but my new Paradigm Reference 100.2s have a much more pleasing sound quality. B&W lack weight - just as you said. I am glad I got rid of the 804s. Arthur | |
| ReVox in the USA Yep - Symphony of Sound - on this website. Do a search for ReVox M57 and you will find it. It is an awesome piece but doesn't come cheap. Arthur | |
| Amp heat sinks are ringing Call Classe and let us know what they recommend you do. I am curious as to what they come up with. Goldmund's style is fantastic - even their accent comes through their text. I need to buy a Goldmund amp. Arthur | |
| paradigm studio 100 VS. triangle celius Well, I have to stick up for the Paradigms. I thought the Soliloquy 6.3s had the same fault as the Celius: too lean. It depends on what sound you like. I personally prefer full-bodied sound which the 100.2s do very well. The 100.2s have great rhyt... | |
| Dealer needs input, next wave of gear? To help out Izsakmixer, I want to point out that the ReVox M57 I talked about doesn't have to compress the data. You can choose which you want. Uncompressed, it is designed to hold about 400 CDs. Compressed MP3 triples that amount. So, it doesn't ... | |
| Amp heat sinks are ringing I guess some of you don't realize how heat sinks work. They cool the amp by natural convection which means VERITCAL air flow around the fins. If you put blocks under (or over) the fins, you are destroying the convective flow and raising the sink t... | |
| Upgrade path from a B&W N805. My upgrade path from my B&W N804s was Paradigm Reference 100.2. I have not regretted it at all and with the cash saved over a more expensive set of speakers, I upgraded my amp. The Paradigms are so much more enjoyable for some reason. I love t... | |
| Dealer needs input, next wave of gear? ReVox has been making what you want for a long time now. It is called the M57 and now uses the new Xiva software that Meridian is also going to use. It is really "connected" technology - the most up-to-date I have ever seen. It will hold 4000 hour... |
