| Does anybody know about the Mac C-33 Pre-Amp? Yes, synergy is the key, that is true. | |
| Fischerspooner I will check those out. Thanks! Arthur | |
| Audio Aero Prima 24/192 Mk II cd player...... I agree with Grannyring that the Prima can be a little forward in some cases. Don't forget everything is relative!! Is "forward" supposed to be bad? Some of you seem to take offense to what I find is a good trait. I guess that is further proof of ... | |
| Audio Aero Prima 24/192 Mk II cd player...... I have the Prima Mk2 and love it. It has a slightly forward tilt which gives the soundstage a natural-sounding depth with incredibly good layering and dynamics. I made some specific comparisons in my "system" page if you want more details but over... | |
| Does anybody know about the Mac C-33 Pre-Amp? For such a nice CJ, I wouldn't get a C33. I agree with the McIntosh C45/C46 idea (I have a C42 and feel it is fantastic). Arthur | |
| Less fatiquing Just last night, my audio buddy and I were comparing a Bryston 4BST and a Classe CA200 in his system which is comprised of Revel F30 speakers and a Wadia 850 in direct drive. After going back and forth, we felt the Classe was more refined, had bet... | |
| Upgrade pre-amp to C2200 or speakers? I agree with Jond entirely. | |
| Do small preamp tubes 12ax7 need to be matched? I have always been told that matching only matters for the power (output) tubes but I think it would depend on how the circuit is done. I think the Aesthetix are balanced right? Maybe it can make a difference in that case. See if you hear a differ... | |
| Are B&W 802D's a good match with Mcintosh MA6900? I agree they are an excellent match. | |
| Historical look at amps Since I am doing my PhD on Class D amplifiers, I thought I would weigh in on the feedback discussion of this topology. In general, there are two feedback loops - take that! haha. It depends on the complexity of the control system but often there i... | |
| magepan 1.6's with mac ma6500 integrated If you room is small, the 6500 is probably fine but you may want the extra power of the 6900 otherwise. The Mc and the Krell are like apples and oranges so it will depend on your tastes as to which you will prefer. There are several happy Mc &... | |
| YBA Passion Integrated or ML 383 Ctchen: The French audio reviewers disliked the ML383 very much so they don't consider it a benchmark at all. They found it too dark and slow. I am not sure which part of Europe you were referring to. | |
| Best speakers 2,500 can buy. The Hawks were killed by my JM Lab 926s in my system. The Hawks are very overrated unless you only listen to acoustic and jazz music. Your criteria doesn't apply to Hawks buy fits 926/936s perfectly. | |
| Historical look at amps Be careful not to confuse global and local feedback. The comment:"Feedback circuits have been with us since the 1920s and we are now just elliminating this basic design feature in modern amps and preamps"is quite incorrect. There are designs with ... | |
| MAC & VSA Synergy? Tvad: What were the results?? |
