| Why are there so many unopened amps, ect for sale? I am glad this has been brought up as I look at certain Mac gear when it goes for sale and I too wonder about NIB units. A C42 preamp just sold on eBay that was "Brand New...still in the box". I asked the person if they were a dealer, being it was... | |
| Balance control vs. Speaker placement Hi Bob, I have noticed this for years in my system with numerous componants and they have been hooked and unhooked, I am sure it's the furniture that causes this. | |
| B&W 803 vs. 804 Goone, I can't answer your question, but reply back again once they are broke in and give further thoughts. | |
| tuners under 1000? LOL - Sorry about that, Don's e-mail is bdscott@nac.net. You can also find info on him at the Tuner site http://www.geocities.com/tunerinfo/ (FWIW, Don used to review for S-phile, he now mods and sells tuners.)Is it just me or is the Tuner site do... | |
| tuners under 1000? KT_88, yes they are analog. I have a Sansaui 717, though I am not using it, the little I have, it deserves the credit it gets, if you don't mind a larger tuner.Talk with Don Scott about a 517, he told me not long ago he had one he modded and he wa... | |
| Oh where or where have all the buyers gone? I will echo some of what is already said. What is it, season and economy.If you have a disired item, it is probably going to sell. I believe sales are seasonal. I have a pair of TDL speakers listed for what I consider a great price, but TDL isn't ... | |
| What Would You Do? To follow up on Bwhite's questions to Stehno, have you ever heard the Mac 6500 Stehno? I have read nothing but good from happy owners. I have heard this amp in the store a year or so ago and it sounded pretty nice to me.This is where some replies ... | |
| tuners under 1000? Kt88, this is a question that comes up every month or two and seems to get pretty much the sames replies. The fact you requested a tube tuner is a little different than most and I am not familiar with those, but there are people that really like t... | |
| Marsh or McCormack I don't have a comparison between those two, but I was in a shop that carried McCormack and Linn, I compared the 225 with the Linn AV-5125, it's a 5 channel amp. They were very close in sonic signature on the system I played them on. I had a coupl... | |
| The Big Boys vs. the Little Guys I forgot to mention, the quality of the LAT is excellent. | |
| The Big Boys vs. the Little Guys I was using JPS Superconductor 2 speaker cables and also had one SC 2 interconnect and I decided to try the LAT International (little guy) cables. In my system, the LAT was clearly better. | |
| Voodoo in Ann Arbor I was at that shop recently Psychicanimal, about a month or so ago.I went to Ann Arbor as I heard they had good shops as well, what a disappointment! I went to listen to some amps, my short time at that shop was *somewhat* productive, I was able t... | |
| Best Inexpensive Tuner? There are many choices for good vintage tuners in that price range. Do yourself a huge favor, spend a little time at http://www.geocities.com/tunerinfo/.If you want to purchase new, I highly recommend you contact Don Scott, who used to review tune... | |
| what will make the greatest differance in sound. A lot of responses, but you haven't stated what you wanted to improve, what don't you like? If you aren't even close to what you would like, IMO, speakers will easily make the most difference. Are you wanting to upgrade just to upgrade? | |
| What are your thoughts of the Tower design of amps Dekay, you bring up a point I overlooked, placing a mono amp by the speaker, the tower design may be nicer. Of those that come to mind of the tower design, all are mono's but one.Mark Levinson 33 and 33H monosClasse Omega monos (I think thats the ... |
