| Looking for a CD player that holds 5 CDs McIntosh MCD-205. Uses the Nakamichi music bank transport. Very reliable and excellent sonics as well. | |
| Dated but still A rated DACs My current and last dac I plan to own is an older McIntosh MDA 1000. Just an amazing analog sounding dac. Also have an Electrocompaniet ECD-1 which the Mac replaced. Very close to the sonics of the Mac but less costly. It's currently for sale on U... | |
| What interconnects work well with Mcintosh Gear? Forgot to mention I also use Signal Cable copper power cords in the entire system. Plan to try Silvers in the future. | |

Currently using Signal Cable Silver Resolution ic's and have no desire to change. Very reasonably priced with a trial period,and Frank is great to work with. I use Kimbe... | |
| Teckton OB Sigma speaker Hi Charlie, this is Dennis Fritz from the late WNY Audio Society. Came across your posts regarding Spatial Audio speakers. Do you still use these? If so would it be possible for me to stop down to hear them? Considering possible speaker change and... | |
| PMC MB2 Se Heard these two weeks ago at the Taves show. I thought they were incredible. One of the most accurate yet musically involving speakers I've ever heard. Too bad they're big bucks. The twenty 26 was also superb and more affordable. Alltronics in Tor... | |
| Power cord for digital stuffs? Fwiw, I used JPS for my entire system. Recently replaced all those with Signal Cable ( digital & 10ga). Much lower cost with far superior sonic results. Never going back to JPS. Frank at Signal is great to deal with and offers a 30 day trial p... | |
| Please recommend a McIntosh preamp In the past I owned a MC352 which is a great amp. I used with a C42 preamp with excellent sonic results. Don't think you can go wrong with this pairing. I now run MC501 monos with a C50 preamp. It sounds different but only slightly better than the... | |
| Preferred AES/EBU 110 ohm digital 1.5 meter cables you recommend I tried the DH Labs D-110, Audioquest Falcon, another from Analysis Plus ( don't remember the model). I also tried and still have a Coax Empirical Audio cable. But the one is use daily is the Kimber Orchid aes/ebu. Sonics far exceed the others men... | |
| Low noise, neutral, high current power cord for wall to power distributor I second the Signal Cable cords. I recently replaced all my much more expensive JPS cords with them. Three for amps preamp. Two for digital. Two on my Golden Ear Triton One speakers. Excellent resulting improvement. May try their Silver Resolution... | |
| Warm, lush and dark ... Dac up to 1.2K I think the Electrocompaniet ECD-1 has the sound you'd like. Read all the positive reviews. Very analog sounding. If you're interested, I have one for sale for $1100.00 on another site. Den | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I agree with kclone. I recently acquired a Mac MDA1000 and am amazed how great it is. It's the last dac I'll ever need as I only listen to redbook cd's. It replaced an Electrocompaniet ECD-1dac which is another outstanding redbook dac. I currently... | |
