| Deciding Between the Marantz Model 30 and McIntosh MA252 I have not heard the McIntosh unit but I am well familiar with Marantz. While the Marantz does not lack in detail to my ear, I would hesitate to call it analytical. Here is a quote form Paul Seydor in his review of the Ruby: "Once asked what so... | |
| What is a good turntable preamp under $500? +2 for the Bellari. The headphone section performs very well to boot. | |
| Deciding Between the Marantz Model 30 and McIntosh MA252 @germanmartinez If you want any useful info, you really need to state what qualities YOU value in an amp to complement the gear you have. Otherwise, all you will receive is what OTHERS want in their amps. | |
| Adding a sub. - can i start with one? Change the E to an S. That is, the RSL speedwoofer will be back in stock soon. Compact yet potent bass for $449. Considering your budget, imagine how a DBA including SIX(!) of these would sound. May well be very very tough for one sub to keep ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @jcs01 Have no fear, you will enjoy your new DI SE's very much indeed. I have had my DI's for years now and you should know I am intolerant of bright or edgy speakers. They obviously are anything but that. As stated many times, they are r... | |
| Up to $4000US tower speakers for Jazz and Classical Music @jcatdcat Hope you did not think I was suggesting the Moabs are out of his budget. I was referring to suggestions that are thousands beyond his upper limit. Your suggestion of the Moabs, from everything I have read, is excellent and I am su... | |
| Mirage M1 Speakers. Agree with the above. Had a pair of M-5si and they were driven beautifully by a Rotel 990 power amp. Hard to believe a pair of 6.5" woofers could soak up all the juice the 990's put out. Great combo. | |
| Anyone get or buy themselves a Father's Day present yet? As much as I love music, I just had the best gift any Dad could want. My daughter came home to visit this weekend. After dinner, we went out and spent the evening fishing. A perfect summer eve in West Michigan. Clear blue sky, gentle swirling ... | |
| Up to $4000US tower speakers for Jazz and Classical Music Doesn't anyone read what the OP wrote! He likes his amp. He listed a budget. He does NOT want subs. | |
| Marantz Ruby PM KI amp vs Accuphase e-480 or e-380 @hgeifman I have never much discriminated of amplifier class. There are good and bad examples of all types. The Ruby is clearly part of the Marantz Reference Series. It is voiced to be smooth with a hint of warmth like all of the Marantz inte... | |
| Marantz Ruby PM KI amp vs Accuphase e-480 or e-380 @russ69 The transformer and caps you note ONLY power the preamp section. It is a class D design and superior to their prior class AB amp designs. The amp has its own switching power supply. The sound is excellent and the power delivered into ... | |
| Up to $4000US tower speakers for Jazz and Classical Music The Tekton Electron SE's have what you are looking for. They have the "open, airy, detailed" qualities you are looking for yet have a very potent low end for full scale orchestral works. Dual 8" SB Acoustic woofers/ported design can move plenty ... | |

| Warm Tube Amp(s) to Tame Hyper-Accurate Speakers? I may have said this before but if you are not fond of steak, no amount of seasoning or preparation work is likely to change that fact. So it is with a speaker. If your speakers are restricting what music you listen to, something is fundamentall... |
