| Can you recommend any Speaker cables for my system? No question about it... for the Dyn's go with the Harmonic Tech Pro 9's or 11's. The 9's will give you slightly more bass. I use them both... the Pro 9 with Special 25's and the 11's with Silverline SR17's (dynaudio drivers).CheersTony | |
| Conrad Johnson vs. McIntosh Tube Gear Thought I havent used the new Triode amps, Ive used both the Silver 60s and Silver 90s amps from Quicksilver with my Audible Illusions Mod3a preamp for some time (before selling the amps and going SS on the bottom). The midrange is as Mike poi... | |
| Conrad Johnson vs. McIntosh Tube Gear Try a tube/ss combo and get the best of both worlds... I've had great success matching tube preamps with McIntosh SS amps. For example I use an Audible Illusions Mod3a preamp with a MC402 amp, I also use a CJ premier 14 with the MC352 amp. You get... | |

But you do need to consider the synergy with the rest of your setup, and adjust accordingly.I have AI Mod3a (with a custom 17 silver faceplate) that Ive grown very fond of. Im... | |

| Good DAC for multiple sources I run my digital cable box and a really cheap DVD into my Wadia 830 (modified by Great Northern Sound) using the Wadias digital input. I wouldnt consider it mid-fi at all nor was it cheap but it ROCKS. Ive A/B a few other players including che... | |
| Pass Labs vs. McIntosh Preamps Have you considered a tube preamp? I'm using a Audible Illusions m3a w/ my MC402 and it sounds great. Sorry I can't comment on the SS preamps. | |
| Favorite SS amp/Tube preamp combo I've used the AI Mod 3 and now the Mod3A (updated 8/04) with McIntosh SS MC7270's in various configurations single amp, mono blocking 2x 7270's (540watts), biamping... Currently I've got the 7270 driving the lows and a Quick Silver 60 driving the ... | |
| Homage to Quicksilver Audio I'm loving my Silver 60's, silver 90's, and the line stage.... Mike is first ratetony |
