| Macintosh vs Pass labs Know_talent, thank you for taking the time to explain. I still don't think McIntosh are as universal of amplifiers as some other amps, but that's just me.I won'd be calling McIntosh as I have no interest in their amplifiers. At least not right now... | |
| New Hilary Hahn disc Gsm18439, thanks for mentioning that review. I just read it. Very nice, with a well written intro mentioning Schoenberg's string quartets, which are among my favorite string quartets.I have all of Hilary Hahn recordings. I think she is one of, if ... | |
| Audio Research Source - CD3 mkII, CD5 will the 5 be a top loader as well?and yes, indeed it is hard to imagine that a CD5 will be a big step up from CD3MkII. I doubt there were any major advancements in digital since the introduction of the MkII version of CD3. But we shall wait and f... | |
| Has anyone lost their best friend? We had a Miniature Poodle, Spike for 14 years. He was my wife's dog before we even married. He passed away in October 2006. We were so sad(I actually cried, beleive it or not), that I did not think I will ever want another dog. After much debate, ... | |
| Is this when you have "arrived??" was this person familiar with a sound of a hi-end audio system? or was it a revelation? | |
| Derivation of a Beautiful Piano Intro Solo? Darn....I knew this was way too complex for Bruce...But thanks for the heads up. | |
| Preamps with two pairs of balanced outs? my ARC LS-25 has. | |
| Recommend some SACD's? check out Heifetz's recording on RCA in SACD. | |
| Derivation of a Beautiful Piano Intro Solo? ridiculous path? that's good. Cause Springsteen is ridiculous. Anyway, for nice piano music, check out one example - Lynne Arriale trio, "Arise", track "The Fallen". Very good stuff. | |
| Derivation of a Beautiful Piano Intro Solo? Ghost, the opposite.Celine Dion was mentioned as an example of how incapable these artists are to compose their own music. You missed the point. | |
| Derivation of a Beautiful Piano Intro Solo? there are only 7 notes and they can be "borrowed" from anything and anyone's composition.For example, Celine Dion, in song "All by myself" obviously "borrowed" an entire passage from 2nd movement of Rachmaninov's 2nd Piano Concerto. The great comp... | |
| Macintosh vs Pass labs Know_talent, I read your post few times and I can't seem to understand it. Though McIntosh autoformers deliver rated wattage at 2, 4 and 8 ohm terminals, they still double power as they go down. That is why people experience thermal overload when ... | |
| McCormack DNA-1 vs. DNA-125 I had DNA-0.5 Deluxe, DNA-125 and DNA-225. DNA-125 and 225 sound pretty different. I had both at the same time. I liked the sound of DNA-225 much better than the 0.5 Deluxe or DNA-125 for that matter. It was smoother, deeper and overall a very nic... | |
| McIntosh Amp Ratings I understand McInotsh amps have a certain following, but Undertow, what you're saying makes little or no sense. Other amps sound constipated? Wow. That totally contradicts my observation, which is McIntosh amps sound fine with an easy load speaker... | |
| 803D or 802D I don't think your amplification is up to it for either 803D or 802D. It is proper for your current speakers though. So if you want satisfaction from 803D or 802D, pick your speaker and then start thinking of amplifier upgrade sometime soon.I mean... |
