| Mcintosh 8207 vs Rotel RMB 1585 Mac makes very good stereo and monoblock power amps but their multi-channel power amps such as the 8207 is good but over priced and not worth paying that much. | |

| Mcintosh 8207 vs Rotel RMB 1585 Both the Rotel RMB 1585 and the Mac MC8207 are very good. The Rotel RMB-1585 offers much greater value at $3k new but it is only five-channel amp whereas the Mac 8207 is a seven-channel amp. The RMB-1585 is very capable amp very quiet due to very ... | |
| Upgrade SACD/CD player from DCS Puccini to better DCS, Esoteric or EMM Labs? I've never had tone control in any of my linestage stereo preamp.

| Upgrade SACD/CD player from DCS Puccini to better DCS, Esoteric or EMM Labs? @gerryah930 I do own fully tweaked full four DCS Vivaldi stacks (Vivaldi master clock, Vivaldi upsampler, Vivaldi DAC, Vivaldi CD/SACD transport). Like folkfreak suggested earlier the DCS stacks would require tweaks eg footers, high quality cablin... | |
| Amp/Preamps vs. High end AV Receivers @terrancej I wouldn't recommend the Integra DHC 60.7 processor. It wouldn't make a difference from the preamp processor section of your Onkyo receiver. The Classe Sigma SSP preamp processor and the Classe Sigma Amp5 five-channel amp that was recom... | |
| Classe SSP 800 Audio problem Send it in to Classe in Montreal Canada. | |
