| Mcintosh C-2200 or Aesthetix Calypso? Velo62....thanks for your comments on the tone controls. I have ruled out c2200 based on your advise. In fact, I have decided to completely do without tone control......a big step for me that I may regret. Based on all of the positive comments in ... | |
| Where to buy SACD's ? Jond and Yioryos.....the player is a Musical Fidelity Trivista. I am hoping it will sound better than the Denon 3910 I am currently using. Thanks for all of the suggestions. Some of these sources would have never occurred to me. I am glad I asked. | |
| Sub Upgrade for Music and Home Theatre Reliability issues with the DD series from Velodyne. I have DD-12 and DD-15. Both amps have been sent in for repairs. Service was rapid and reasonably priced......but still. | |
| Mcintosh C-2200 or Aesthetix Calypso? Bill....You are right about the bright B&W's. I have decided to buy the best digital front end I can afford and get rid of the B&W's if they cannot fit in. That is why I am not too concerned with tubes anymore. The solid state C42 would le... | |
| Mcintosh C-2200 or Aesthetix Calypso? Well, it looks like I have found all of the Mcintosh guys!Arthur and Bill....have either of you directly compared the C42 (solid state) and C2200 (tubes)? I was drawn to the 2200 because of the tubes. I have since read that Mcintosh tube and SS pr... | |
| Mcintosh C-2200 or Aesthetix Calypso? Thanks Arthur. The ability to fix room problems with tone controls is something I had not thought of. I will be doing room treatments at some point, but this could help until get the treatments done. Do any other members have any thoughts on these... | |
| Which player has all this???? Based on lots of advice here and from lots of reading it seems that I need a new two channel preamp instead of connecting the CDP directly to the amps. I am going to keep two channel and H/T seperate, so modifying the Denon is not the answer. The ... | |
| How does home theatre pass through work? OK, got it. Thanks! | |
| How to tame the midrange??? Jafox....Thanks for your suggestions concerning which preamps to check out. I am currently trying my local dealers to see what is available to audition in my system. velocityvls.... No, I do not know enough to judge who knows what. Just look at my... | |
| XM vs Sirius Portable Receivers - What's Out There I cannot tell you too much about the hardware.....but......the reception for XM was much better in my car than Sirius. I still went with Sirius due to the programming. I would look at programming long before hardware. They both offer a free online... | |
| Is there a difference in balanced cables?? When I first started reading threads here a year ago I thought you guys were a little nuts comparing the sound of a piece of wire and putting out mega bucks for the flavor of the month. I mean.....wire is wire, right? Then came the whole power cor... | |
| How to tame the midrange??? Shadorne.....I did describe what I am hearing accurately, but I should have also said to what degree I am hearing it. On a scale of 1-10 with 1 being sweet laid back treble and 10 being harsh screeching, this problem is a 2 or 3. Not a blown drive... | |
| How to tame the midrange??? Jafox......that's a great idea. I am in Silver Spring, Maryland. Just outside of DC. If anyone wants to help me spend some hard earned cash, c'mon over! If you have been into this hobby for more than a year, your knowledge is no doubt superior to ... | |
| Is there a difference in balanced cables?? Great responses! Now I know the balanced cables could and probably do matter. However, with such diverse opinions here I have to believe the difference is subtle. Especially to my untrained ears. I am in a major digital front end upgrade phase at ... | |
| Is there a difference in balanced cables?? Yep, I searched the archives. Lots of threads about balanced vs. single ended. I did not see anything concerning difference in quality or sound from one brand to the next. If there is a difference, is it clearly noticable?I remain, |
