| From Krell to McIntosh - Anyone? Dear Aball, I've owned Watt/puppy 6's along with a list of other equipment and speakers that would make a reviewer blush..all reference level gear..tube and solid state! The Mcintosh sound has a fog present not unlike my ARC stuff had..probably th... | |
| From Krell to McIntosh - Anyone? I've recently owned the Mc 501's wt the C46 into my Dyn C4's...almost tubelike in the sense it had haze galore. It was also sterile sounding. My Krell mono's and KCT with the EVO 505 front end is quite exciting and full of color and dynamics! The ... | |
| Biggest Baddest Audio Cables I just purchased MIT Oracle V2.1 IC's and Speaker cables...now that's pretty big and bad..I mean good!! | |

| Review: Pass Labs XA-100 monoblocks Amplifier Many a religion is born out of deep need...few maintain a foundation for continued belief. The Devil is in the details and the practical subtelties! Krell offers as much beauty without any limitations. Also, a system is just that..a system of many... | |
| Anyone else evolve beyond tubes? Funny..I just demo'd the ARC ref 3 vs the Krell Evo 202 driving the Evo 402 into dynaudio C4's...the tube haze and overall distortion of the signal sold me on Krell...Krell is not like any bother solid state gear..it is music!! I do like my MF A5 ... | |

| Tube Characterization: 6DJ8, 6922, 7308 Part II Specifics are absolutely necessary..I'm sorry for not mentioning my current rig (one of very many over the years, tubes and ss). Mcintosh MC501's with C46 and MF A5 CD player with mu-vista tube output stage. Cabling is all MIT Magnum M1 stuff. Spe... | |
| Anyone else evolve beyond tubes? The mu-vista tubes in the MF A5 do not have haze, grain, slowness or frequency anomalies whatsoever...it may be the best CD player available...beats my Wadia 860 and ML 390s! I recently heard the ARC ref setup with Watt Puppy 8's...ok but not grea... | |
| Tube Characterization: 6DJ8, 6922, 7308 Part II I used to be as fuzzy in my thinking as most of the tubes you are talking about until recently..nothing like bringing home reference tube gear to compare to exceptional solid state...tubes really do an amazing job at screwing with the signal when ... | |
| Anybody compare NuForce to ARC Dig Amps Buy NAD M3...sell Cary and enjoy! | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Dynaudio C4's with Mcintosh 501's and C46 preamp fronted by MF A5 CD player and all MIT Magnum cabling!! For classical it put's the ass in the seat like no other I've heard!! |
