| Sonus Faber Guaneri Homage or Extremas? I agree with Daveyf if you must stay with Mac. That said, I think you are doing yourself a great disservice by painting yourself into a box with just one manufacturer for an amp. FWIW, a friend of mine had a 402 (as have I) and he replaced it with... | |
| Wilson Watt Puppy, which version? The short life of the WP8 had everything to do with its performance - the improvement over the WP7 was tremendous that Wilson wanted a NEW name rather than the implication of incremental benefits which the "8" version may allude to. In short, the ... | |
| Wilson Watt Puppy, which version? Why do people that don't like WP's (Wilson) respond to questions about WP's!!!.Good question, but it is a given they will. | |
| Upgrading Wadia 170i IDoc to new 171 IPod dock Rpg, I follow you now. Was the review apples-to-apples? Was he reviewer using a separate DAC or the one in the CDP for compare.Also, a thought is that you can store the music via iTunes using error correction and receive consistent and possibly be... | |
| Upgrading Wadia 170i IDoc to new 171 IPod dock Rpg, I have had the exact same questions as you about it, with my thoughts being, given paired with a good re-clocking DAC and if it does sound better, why? That said, the better remote does interest me, but it would be a heavy price to pay for a ... | |
| Upgrading Wadia 170i IDoc to new 171 IPod dock Wadia's iTransport has always garnered a wide array of opinions and, it seems, results.I have had a 170 since the day they were available and like a couple others here, I have had zero issues with using it, I use an iPod Classic.Also, some report ... | |
| Wilson Audio paint problems But when i hear consistent issues...I believe that is a stretch. | |
| McIntosh Tube or Solid State - what way to go? I owned the MA2275 and then switched to the combination of MC402 and C46 while using B&w 802D's. With the 802D's liking lots of power, I could run the MA2275 out of power if pushed, but sonically I would say the MA2275 sounded better overall t... | |
| B&W 805D vs. Dynaudio Contour S1.4 I heard the C1's at a show two years ago and they were stunning. A friend who was there with me purchased a set as he too was quite taken. Unfortunately he couldn't duplicate that great performance, for whatever reason.I haven't heard the latest s... | |
| Bryston B-100 or Luxman L-507u? I haven't heard either of the two, so take that into account. That said, I own the L-590A II and have heard the L-505U at a show and I think quite highly of them. Being that you can purchase the Luxman at a great price, I would do so and not think... | |
| Personal amp evolution * Mid 80's I purchased a Technics rack system, it had an integrated amp* Late 80's - Denon PMA 300V integrated (My friend from High School that got me into audio still uses this)* Late 80's - Heath (I don't remember the model, but it is in my base... | |
| McIntosh MA6500 Integrated amp This thread was started 9 years ago! | |
| Class A watts vs Class A/B watts I tend to agree with Pubu57 in that it may be system dependent and you need to try for yourself.I recently changed from a Mac MC402/C46 combo to a Luxman L590a II integrated, 30 watts Class A, and very much prefer it to the Mac combo, with my spea... | |
| Thiel 3.7 vs Wilson Sasha I, too, fully concur with Actuary's comparisons #1-10 except #3. IMO, I believe the CS3.7 wins in the bass department. I've auditioned Sasha while I was still deciding on what speakers to purchase and the bass I heard didn't come anywhere near the... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento Can't a simple email to Sonus Faber, or the US Dist., answer this question? |
