| Newer AV pre-pro's with built in Parametric EQ's Eliminating resonances in the lower frequencies means flattening the response curve in the lower frequencies. Usually the highs are not as big a problem anyway (>250Hz). | |
| Mcintosh Bulbs? I solder every day. Let me know if you need help or questions about equipment. If you like to tinker - you can buy a nice soldering iron for half the price a tech would charge you to do a shoddy job. :)Arthur | |
| Mcintosh Bulbs? I have yet to come across a Mc that needs to have the glass removed to access the bulbs. | |
| Audio Aero Prima 24/192 Mk II cd player...... The Granite?? I tried the 657 head to head with my Prima 2 and the Granite was the clear loser. My audio buddies and I were surprised at how poor it was in soundstaging and dynamics. It sounded shut-in and weak and we all agreed. I can see why Mec... | |
| Mcintosh transformer hum I have never heard a McIntosh make any sound. There could be two simple problems - the transformer got loose in shipping or the grounding is bad. The latter could be a loose chassis ground or your outlet/circuit/house has a bad ground.You could ta... | |

| Anyone heard Brokeback Mountain soundtrack CD? I agree! Great movie, great soundtrack. | |
| New Direction-JM Lab Diva, Revel Studio or Sophia? Be sure to take your time setting up the Divas. They are not easy to get just right so be sure to experiment. With care, they will be an awesome speaker. | |
| How much Amp to power JM Lab's Diva Utopia I agree - both are great choices. | |
| Is there a clear winner??? Hifi truism #1: There is never a clear winner!I know F30s well and feel that a Mc amp would be a good match. Silverlines are a nice and easy load - dynamics are guaranteed in this case. | |
| Your system TOO resolving? MacC200 vs ML32S Sounds to me like you already know what you want. Go ahead and trust yourself.Arthur | |
| Bispeakering...am I the only one? Man Opalchip - you are the master experimenter! Really cool to hear about your combinations. Playing to each pair's strengths is definately the way to do it.My McIntosh C42 preamp has an excellent EQ and I adjust it to make my room response flat w... |
