| Maggies with Mark Levinson preamp/amp Why do you think it could sound bad? Just go for it. | |
| Second Chance offer Scams on ebay? If it is too good to be true... | |
| Aleph 5 - buzzing sound when hot? My guess is it needs rebiasing. That is a common problem with well-used class A zero-feedback designs. | |
| Wanted:Warm, Sweet preamp. I would suggest the Cary SLP-98. Excellent sounding pre. | |
| Stereo amp/pre combo for mini utopias? The Minis are a very fine choice. You are starting off right in my opinion. I have JM Lab Electras and really enjoy McIntosh gear with them. I have tried many amps and some just don't really work with JM Labs - like my CJ MV55. However tubes are g... | |
| Big Mcintosh MC1000 pwr amp s? McIntosh is a great choice with JM Lab. I love my combination, though far less gradiose as yours Marcelo. I agree that the Mc150/300/500/1000 series, from my experience, is farily mellow - or at least more so than the next 2 generations that follo... | |
| If yhou were to start a shop which brands......... B&W? They are part of a giant mega-company that will require huge amounts of inventory that a small 2-channel hifi shop will never be able to afford. I think small yet interesting brands would be the way to go. The USA doesn't have nearly as m... | |

| Which is best American Amp in $1500-2000 range? I second the MA6500. | |
| Do class A amps draw power even when turned off? Only when turned on and not playing music (i.e., volume turned all the way down or source is stopped). Turn the volume up and the power usage goes up from 300W. | |
| "WET" Soundstage? I understand it as plenty of harmonic reproduction - little singling out of the fundamental frequencies. This would be the opposite of "dry" where harmonics are chopped off making the signals sound quicker but with less body. The real/natural effe... | |
| Anyone heard these? How do they sound? Tim, I am just saying lots of context is necessary.Funny enough, I read the editorial while on the toilet too. | |
| Spikes versus Rubber on wood floor? inpepinnovations - stick around here and you'll find out. Otherwise, just buy the cheapest new stereo you can find and enjoy how well it measures. | |
| Anyone heard these? How do they sound? Timrhu - Your brain has an automatic impact if you voice an opinion about a speaker's sound. How else do you know what you think is sound? Why is there more than one brand of speakers in the world? Because everyone's opinion is different, because ... | |
| Accurate vs Musical Well how about that!?! We have no clear answer! haha. |
