Citation 7.1 CUTS out, do I need More Power? Hey Dan - looks like you've received some pretty sound advice thus far - but I will go out on a limb here and ask if this problem occurs mostly during DTS playback? | |
Mcintosh - Love Em' or Hate Em' ......Why? Hey Gtejr - Welcome to the MC2000 club! It's a great amplifier however I have a local amp manufacturer who says he can do a modification to the power supply which will make the McIntosh MC2000 UNREAL! (apparently all McIntosh amps have an "old" an... | |
Preamp Deal of the Century Hindemith - the Supratek currently represents a tremendous value. I had mine in to be modified by a local guy named Scott Frankland who's fame comes from building the $30+K Wavestream V8 amplifiers - he told me that between the time it would take ... | |
Preamp Deal of the Century Hindemith - the only ARC preamp I've spent much time with was a friends LS-25 (I think that's what it was). To me, that ARC preamp sounded sterile and had a very bright solid state quality to it. I am not certain if it was a direct result of it in... | |
Anyone heard the new Cremona? I have a question regarding the Cremona's.... Is this speaker a different color than the Amati and Guarneri?From the photos I've seen, the Cremona's appear to be a lighter color - not the "orange" looking wood of the earlier lute design speakers. | |
Preamp Deal of the Century The results with Solid State is very similar to the results with Tube amps. I no longer own any Electrocompaniet gear, the LAMMs are gone and I am currently using a McIntosh MC2000 tube amp. In between those I had Chord (solid state), McIntosh MC2... | |
Preamp Deal of the Century Bradz, the Chardonnay is in a completely different galaxy than any of the preamps you mention. When I first purchased the Supratek, I used it with Solid State (Electrocompaniet) and LAMM M1.1's which have a tube but are not exactly TUBE amps. | |
Preamp Deal of the Century The Chardonnay is 13¼" wide by 12½" deep the unit is about 8½" tall. The power supply is the same width and depth but height depends upon the tube you select. With my GZ32, the power supply is about 5½" tall. Stock the unit is about 4½ inches... | |
AudioMeca vs. AudioAero vs. Electrocompaniet Farhad, my goal with digital was for it to sound more like music. Real music. Good analog recordings on good equipment produce the finest sound I have heard. The Mephisto is simply the MOST analog like CD player of the bunch. The Accuphase is spec... | |
AudioMeca vs. AudioAero vs. Electrocompaniet The Accuphase is an effortless player - it is quieter than the Mephisto between tracks - dead quiet - but then again, so is my 100 Toshiba DVD player (not as quiet as the Accuphase however). Noticing that the Mephisto isn't quiet between tracks le... | |
AudioMeca vs. AudioAero vs. Electrocompaniet Farhad - I understand. But most people who look at a CD player which sells used for around $4,000 wouldn't think twice about using the stock power cord on the unit. NBS Statement power cords sell for around 500. In my system, I used the Mephisto f... | |
Preamp Deal of the Century Khaki - how does the Cortese sound? What have you compared it to? | |
Preamp Deal of the Century Bmotorcycle - Congratulations! | |
AudioMeca vs. AudioAero vs. Electrocompaniet Fahad74, For the characteristics you speak of - the NBS Statement power cord is the best I have listened to. If you really want the HiFi Nirvana - the NBS Statement plugged into a Shunyata Hydra should do the trick. This will ad a degree of musica... | |
Preamp Deal of the Century Grandpad, if there is a problem with your preamp, Mick determines which is easier - sending back or having the preamp fixed locally. I had some work done to my preamp locally and Mick paid for it. The remote control board was funky and picked up ... |
