| Wadia 861 Owners... I purchased the 27i/270 to go direct into SS monoblocks and fell in love. Lately tried running through a tube preamp into SS monoblocks and even enjoy it more. Might be backwards using a high end digital extraction to be processed by tubes and amp... | |
| Class A Amplifiers and impedance dips Is there an agency that dictates what class A or other designation actually consists of? How does one know if a manufacturer claims class A for their amp that it really is and does any agency ever check? I am not doubting any information here just... | |
| Speakers For McIntosh? Depends on your listening tastes and what amp you own but McIntosh 1201's and Thiel CS6's are quite impressive. Great dynamics, bass punch and velvet top end. The Thiel crossover's are well suited to McIntosh power, in my personal opinion. | |
| Solid state amp ultimate stop... I thought I had my dream pair of McIntosh 1201's but since I am routinely moving beyond the 1200 watt ratings maybe its time for four 1201 monos to biamp the speakers.Too much seems to be never enough. Part of the fun is there isn't an ultimate st... | |
| Stress on Solid State Amps If the amp was never stressed then you are stuck waiting for it to break/burn in. Unless you are planning to camp out in an igloo and subject it to dramatic temperature swings it is difficult to over stress it under normal household conditions. Cr... | |
| Tubed DAC problems,opinions please. Not sure if all four tubes are needed at once but if they are two per channel try to use just one channel/set and swap around to see if the problem goes away. Somewhat rare to have all four tubes go at once although not impossible. | |
| Memories........What made you catch the Audio Bug? My first memory was the long evening basement parties my parents threw. All would end up in bed except my father cranking a portable 3M reel-reel player listening to "The Happy Harmonica" until the wee hours of the morning, or until he was sent to... | |
| Loss of volume in right channel I had a similar experience with a channel going out occasionally. It would actually come back on when I would walk near the amp and back off when I walked away. I swapped cables and still happened. Finally bought new cables and problem went away. | |
| McIntosh MCD-7009 sound quality? The McIntosh 7009 is a great player and you are buying it as a classic piece of McIntosh gear not to compete with today's newer technology. The sound is decent and the transport is solid. Yes, there are better and cheaper CDP's but they don't say ... | |
| experience with adona equipment racks? The overall design is great and simple. As stated above is infinitely adjustable and can be custom ordered. They are great to work with communication wise. I personally have a few issues with the design but was promised they are being addressed. F... | |
| DIY speakers vertical array a la "pipedreams" syst Drop an email to Roger Russell, I am sure he would love to discuss tweeter tower designs and theory behind them with anyone. | |
| What is a Low Pass Filter Low pass filter means only low frequency signals are sent through and high frequency signals are filtered. Opposite is true for a high pass filter. Your low pass filter is adjustable to allow a range of frequencies 38-65 hertz to be set, anything ... | |
| Thiel 7.2 or Revel Studios Irish, I did a lengthy demo with Krell 350's and Thiel CS6's. I now own a pair of CS6's and I am powering with McIntosh 1201's. On robust classical the sound is pure amazement. I don't want to enter my personal issues into your thread but if you ... | |

| Preamp For McIntosh MC352 Auditioning is the best way but please remember the C100/C200 are ready to go out of the box while the C2200 will need an immediate replacement of stock tubes before its potential can be realized. I doubt any dealer will allow a demo with vintage/... |
