| Are the MF308 and MC402 matching together ? I am an electrical engineer so I know the problem you speak of very well - you can believe what I told you. I have done research on impedance mismatches and how they affect traveling waves and what the optimal resistace/inductance and transconduct... | |
| Considering audition of Plinius 9200 and McIntosh What is a Levinson 330? I haven't heard of it before. Arthur | |
| Integrated Tube Around $1000 Hi Rich. Not knocking your comment but one man's "loud" is another man's soft. There was a thread (I think on AA) about that and some thought 85dB was loud but headbangers were laughing at them. It's another example of how everything's relative. M... | |
| Integrated Tube Around $1000 I agree with Jax2 - you may well need way more than 30W. I would try the Antique Sound Labs AQ1001 at 50W and see what you think. I auditioned the 202 a few times but thought the image was unclear and fairly flat. The ASL and 502B will do better. ... | |
| I need help with selection of a pre-amp Upgrading the Onkyo will make a bid difference. Try to find a McIntosh C712. It has a processor loop and beat many other preamps (in my system) with its beautiful sound quality. Great preamp for the money. Arthur | |
| Are the MF308 and MC402 matching together ? You will never know if they are technically a "perfect" match. Your preamp's input impedance is quite low so there shouldn't be a problem - this is all you need. Let you ears be the judge. You say they sound great - don't worry about anything else... | |
| Mac 252, 353, 402? I have a Classe CP50 with my McIntosh amp and man is it excellent. I love that preamp - and it sounds better than the newer 47.5 and goes for the same money. Arthur | |
| Integrated amp advice needed... Classe 151 and McIntosh MA6900 would be at the top of my list. I auditioned the DK VS-1 a couple times but it wasn't very memorable - same goes for the Levinson 383 IMO. Arthur | |
| What does listening to a speaker really tell us? Everything is relative. Many like to forget this fact. | |
| CD Help I fourth the Jolida JD100 (there is only one version..no "A"). The Cary 303 is very nice too but I couldn't justify the extra money. I tried various NOS tubes in the Jolida with spectacular results. | |
| Integrated amp advice needed... This post is almost just like yours:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1108491320&read&h48&zzlNguyenchiro&restArthur | |
| Considering audition of Plinius 9200 and McIntosh I know the Plinius 8200mkII and the 6900. I thought the Plinius lacked a little definition, or clarity, but the 9200 may improve on that. The 6900 is excellent in every way. Both have similar type of sound but the 6900 is way better looking. IMO. ... | |
| Does anyone out there have a liquid system Liquidity was one of my main goals and currently, I am very satisfied with what I have achieved. I can't stand musical notes that don't relate to each other...it is just unnatural. The Jolida JD100 cd player (with NOS 5751s) was a fantastic additi... | |
| Anyone know anything about Eleanor McEvoy? ditto Geronimo! | |
| speaker that project mids farther out into room I have read that Gershman speakers tend to do that very well. |
