| DAC question - is music streamer DAC better than mcintosh DA2? I have a MA12000 running NOS tubes. My sole source is a Pro-Ject StreamBox Ultra 2, plugged into the internal Mac DAC. It works great, sounds great, and takes up virtually no space. And yes, the MA12000 never breaks a sweat, regardless of what ... | |
| McIntosh tube upgrade - worthwhile? swapped out stock tubes for NOS from the 30's and 40's. no discernible change to my ears, but did experience a discernible decrease in wallet thickness. Now other tube amp? striking difference when using quality NOS tubes.....why? no clue. | |

| Line Magnetic 218a vs Leben CS600 -- am I insane? (aka when good beats great) Not crazy. I love my tube rolled Dennis Had Inspire 300B and Klipsch AL5’s. A combination that keeps me coming back. The Klipsch sounded great with different tube and SS amps, but there is something about the synergy of this pairing that is uni... | |
| How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? Very high efficiency means one can swim in the calm, warm 300B waters, which I love. Low efficiency means one can swim and surf with the wide variety SS offer, which I also love. Why choose when you can have both? | |
| Looking for integrated solid state amp for daily usage try this: Elac DPA2. reliable, cool running, nice sounding and plenty of power.....a bargain and well reviewed in Stereophile. | |
| Seeking Honest Opinions: Your Experience with McIntosh Audio Gear what Dean_Palmer said. I bought a new BIG unit, and it needed a bias adjustment right out of the box. McIntosh folks were easy to talk with directly, embarrassed and extremely helpful, handing me off to the unit's primary designer. It shipped t... | |
| A Few Nice Words For Upscale Audio That’s great. I’ve always had great service and support at Upscale. I try to go to them first with any purchase…even though I’m not local. They just “get it.” | |
| Bose 901 Series V Questions Don’t run them backwards; they were engineered more carefully than given credit. The walls and placement make the difference between amazing and gawd awful. You either have the right room or you don’t. Use the supplied equalizer; again, tied mo... | |
