| McIntosh MT5 vs Rega 8 or 10 Thanks for the info My dealer likes Clear Audio, so I am just starting to look at them as well. Which Clear Audio model do you like, or at least compares to the McIntosh TT5? I believe their Performance DC air and DC wood lines compare favorably t... | |
| McIntosh MT5 vs Rega 8 or 10 @smatsui Yes, trying to stretch my budget to the P10. It’s just a big jump (with the aphelion cartridge) from the 8. What cartridge and phonostage are you using with the 10? | |
| McIntosh MT5 vs Rega 8 or 10 Yes, looking at phonostage’s also. So many options. How about the Rega Aria or Aura? | |
| McIntosh MT5 vs Rega 8 or 10 @Dogberry Why do you say many prefer the Rega 8 over the 10? Everything I read claims the 10 is another step up in improvements. Are you meaning the 8 has a better value/price ratio? | |
| Want to add vinyl to my system. A couple of other turntables recommended to me are the Mark Levinson 5105, EAT C Sharp, and VPI Prime. Any thoughts on these models? | |
| Want to add vinyl to my system. Thanks everyone! If I would go with a Rega 8 or 10. What phono preamp would you recommend? | |
| Want to add vinyl to my system. Thank you for all the responses, you all have given me things to consider. As many of you have asked, is it wiser to spend my money to continue improving my digital system, or venture into vinyl. I guess I want the best of both worlds. I have sev... | |
| Amp for my B&W 802D3s and HTM2D3 Here we go with the McIntosh hate. McIntosh is not in favor with this group. I have B&W’s and McIntosh and they do not sound like mush. I would listen to all and make your decision. We all hear differently and like different sound signature... | |
| Amp for my B&W 802D3s and HTM2D3 As I stated earlier, I have McIntosh 611’s and they work well with B&W speakers. The 462 will have the same sonic signature. The 802’s dip down to 3 ohms in the bass region. For that reason I use the 4 ohm taps. | |
| Amp for my B&W 802D3s and HTM2D3 I agree with Erik. I have the exact same speakers that you have. I power the front 802D3’s with McIntosh 611 monos when listening to 2 channel. Center and surrounds powered with an older Classe 5300. Sounds great to me! | |
| Synergistic Research Euphoria HC power cord. Which Esoterec steamer do you have? | |
| Synergistic Research Euphoria HC power cord. Yes, it has been quite a journey for me. | |
| Synergistic Research Euphoria HC power cord. Hard for me to articulate, but I like a lot of detail, but prefer a warmer overall sound. I feel my Mac’s help out with my B&W 802d3’s, as at times the highs can sound sharp on some recordings. However, the B&W’s are also very detailed. I ... | |
| Synergistic Research Euphoria HC power cord. Thanks everyone. Quite an informative conversation. I will search out the Cable Company and compare a few after I get my GIK art panels in about 4 weeks. @Johna5, I sometimes wonder the same thing about having financial incentives to recommend a p... | |
| Synergistic Research Euphoria HC power cord. Speaker cables are Audioquest William Tell bi wire. Inter connects are Audioquest earth. Siox, just trying to upgrade cables to the level of my others. Looking for a holographic sound. |
