| Am i going crazy I couldn't agree with Bluenose more! I spent many years with a system I didn't like, all because I upgraded to componants that did sound better than what it was replacing, but it still wasn't what I was looking for.Over the past few years I have a... | |
| Difference between Forte 4 and 4A amp ? All this glowing talk of the Forte amps leaves me a little perplexed as I purchased a Model 6 new in 11/91, replacing a Heath amp, and although it was better than the Heath, I struggled through the 90's with a system I didn't like. I was using a F... | |
| Cable shoot-out: Part IV Natalie, as long as we are talking of "under achiever" cables, last year I was looking into a new cable and there was two "under achiever” cable companies that became known to me, Coincident and LAT International. I ended up buying a Coincident. I... | |
| Copper v. Silver IC sound Why not just get a cable that uses both? Below is some text I took from LAT Internationals Web site on their IC-200 Mark II interconnect.EXPLANATION OF OUR PROPRIETARY SILVERFUSE CONDUCTOR MATERIAL: Silverfuse is a near alloy of silver and copper.... | |
| Comments Fanfare FT-1A vs. Mangum Dynalab MD-100 Unlike the first two responses, I have no experience with MD tuners. A little over a year ago I did go through this process though, which one, MD or Fanfare. I have no local dealers so I did all research via on-line. From all I read, it seemed the... | |
| ML No 383 to ML Nos 380S & 335 Koen,A few thoughts. I got caught up in the audio hoop-la and recently sold my 383, I have yet to get replacements, I am in the process; but being w/o it for a few weeks, I really miss it! It is a great piece. Those you enquired about are definate... | |
| Best Budget Interconnect RCA latinternational.com, you will not regret it! | |
| Interconnection cables, excellent finding. I can throw in another company that will give the "big names" a run for their money at a fraction of the cost, LAT International. I finally tried my first IC from them and I am very happy with the results, plus the quality is top notch. On their W... | |
| Spades or bananas After posting this message I also submitted the question to LAT International and here is their response: SPADES ARE BETTER BECAUSE THEY HAVE MORE AREA OF CONTACT. | |
| Good choice for ic? Brad,The Coincident is a good cable for "low" buck, comparably. I would suggest you try a LAT International IC-200 MKII. Awhile back I was needing a new cable for my Fanfare tuner and heard great things about the CST IC and the LAT cables. I decid... | |
| Bel..AVo 200.2, Musical Fidelity A3cr, YBA 2hc, Pass X150 Fineberg, how is the lower end with the A3cr? | |
| Bel..AVo 200.2, Musical Fidelity A3cr, YBA 2hc, Pass X150 Sean, don't get excited. Note that I stated they were Class A rated, as in Stereophile, the Pass is not in that group, hence being singled out. These amps are "inexpensive" in comparison to their Class A rated counterparts. | |
| Integrateds that could drive Magnepan's or other tuff loads McIntosh just announced another integrated, the MA6900, 200 watts. | |
| ML 383 High Power shutdown Contact Madrigal, if it is an earlier unit, they have opened up that "window" to not be so touchy on later units. If this is the case with yours, you can take it to your dealer and they can download the change to yours. | |
| Heath AA-2500 Amp - Heard of it? I owned the Forte for 6 years, 6 long years, the longest I have owned any amp. In that 6 years I hated my system. I had threatened many a time to sell it all and just get some simple inexpensive system, that nothing was expected of it. I replaced ... |
