| Voltage Stabilizer, Power Conditioner, or both I noticed some improvement with an MIT Z-strip conditioner/stabilizer and my McIntosh gear but REALLY noticed the difference with my BAT and Kora gear. I guess the Mcs have very good power supplies and regulation to start with so they don't respon... | |
| A good amp for Tannoy speakers The European press will tell you T+A V10 with Kensingtons. | |
| Over emphasis on reviews.... Come to think of it, why do we have audio forums??hahaha | |
| Spade Lugs for Vintage Mac Amps I just got barrier-strip-to-banana connectors from Ebay. Works great with any banana cable for only $10. Cardas also made them for a while but when I inquired about them, they never got back to me. That was three years ago. Arthur | |
| Best Integrated for JM Labs Micro Utopia BE JM Lab works great with McIntosh (that is what I have). The 6500 is great but so is the 6900. Don't worry about having too much power. Arthur | |
| what is a big speaker? If you room response is relatively flat, then it works. What does your response graph look like? Arthur | |
| New Direction-JM Lab Diva, Revel Studio or Sophia? John - it is issue 42 and it's Roy Gregory's opening editorial. He uses KR VA320 Antares amps. | |
| Why so many Rotel RCD-1072 players for sale ? Many were sold. | |

The Frenchies have life to them whereas I feel the Sophias don't - they felt like they were very plain and changing amps didn't seem to help matters. I have only heard Studios onc... | |
| Tube Amp Around $1000 Conrad-Johnson MV55. I love mine. | |
| Does such a beast exist? Cyrus Vxs maybe? | |
| Considering a MAC Yeah, Joe is right. The models you are looking at are decades old and time has moved forward since then when it comes to trasistors, capacitors, rectifiers, etc.The 2505 is 30 years older than a DNA 0.5! You can't compare them whatsoever.The MC710... | |
| Higher power=better sound at low volume? It all comes down to the speaker - no point in discussing amps. I have a pair of Triangle Comete ES speakers and they rock at half the volume of my JM Labs. If you want low-volume listening, get some forward speakers with excellent microdynamics a... | |
| Most neutral speaker cable for less than $5 a foot van den Hul clearwater. | |
| bi-amping with Mc352 and Mc2102 Hi LarryI have done something very similar - a McIntosh MC7200 SS amp and a Conrad-Johnson MV55 tube amp on my JM Lab Electra 926s. Getting the gain to match is the tricky part but in my case, it ended up working out pretty well. The 7200 has gain... |
