| Mcintosh amp stock pwr cord only 4 ft??? I've never had a need for more than 3-4ft. If you are going to enter the world of trying various cords, like I've done, try to buy 5ft as those seem to be the most desireable lengths. If you really need 10-12 ft I'd recommend getting some outlets ... | |
| World's Best Speakers For 2021 ? I tried the little stand mount Gershman. Really interesting speaker that was never fatiguing but lacked detail. It was a two way with a woofer that went down to 25hz. This was a lesson in compromises to have a subwoofer and tweeter try to do midra... | |
| Tube integrated amp recommendations I' owned the CS600 and can say it's a great amp but be careful with your speaker pairing as it is a bit accentuated (IMO) in the midrange. I spent a fair bit of time and money on tubes trying to calm it down and ultimately sold it. | |
| Magico A5 or Sonus faber SERAFINO TRADITION or Harbeth 40.3 XD Try to listen to Verity Audio at that price point. Incredible holographic image and you can really tune them with amp selection. Lots of great options mentioned here. | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses All the anti tweakers have just about bitten off their fingernails. The other side waits eagerly as an email to Tammy's rests in their browser. This place is going to implode. Sorry | |
| Belles Aria Signature and other Int Amp recommendation I tried a Belles Aria briefly a few years ago with Devore Nines. I never connected with it. It sounded over controlled- like you could hear the amp gripping the speakers. It may have just been a bad match. The Coda is a nice amp and I regret selli... | |
| Silversmith Fidelium Speaker Cables Ozzy, I appreciate your opinion on these. I find it refreshing when people take the time to tactfully post contrary positions. I sometimes do the same, and try to never to be negative, or wish a designer harm. I think like sight, we all have basic... | |
| Seeing sounds and music..... Well done. Thanks for sharing. | |
| Is the Almarro 318B For Me?Any Others? I had this amp with a pair of fairly easy to drive Devore Nines. I really enjoyed it. It has nice depth and a relaxing quality that made it a joy to listen to. My wife liked it too. I agree with the above that it wasn’t the most dynamic but I thin... | |
| Zavfino Yes, I saw he does. What I meant is that it's not like shipping a pair of speakers or a 200lb amp. | |
| Zavfino @thyname, I'm tempted to try the speaker cables you listed but I really prefer spades all around. I've owned a full loom of Nordost Frey 2 and speaker and int from Purist Audio Aqueous. I also think the A21 are good speaker cables. I downsized yea... | |
| Zavfino Ozzy you might need to wave the magic chicken foot over it for a while. Isn’t that cord like $5k? | |
| High End is Dead? 1. People do care about equipment. Perhaps more than the room, or even music, so puts all manufacterers immediately on the hot seat.2. People who are successful in the audio business are working hard and have to play on the world stage because onl... | |
| Zu introduces Soul 6 I almost went for these but didn't want to deal with the supply chain uncertainty. Based on this review I'm glad I passed for now. The thing I would add is that after listening to many products that Steve and other guys reviewed- the reviews tend ... | |
| In praise of isolation. I have a tube integrated sitting on an Ethan Allen stand. It's in our living room and fits nicely. I placed Nobsound springs under the amp and tried the Oreas as well, both with positive and different results. My question after reading this is why... |
