| Passive vs Active...Again! I’ll take a shot here, I think stereo manufacturers originally assumed their components would be integrated into living spaces, not dedicated listening rooms. My advice is to find something that you like and put it in the mix. | |
| Bluesound Node2 with outboard DAC Yes, I use it with a McIntosh D150, and another improvement in the sound was converting it to a linear power supply. The kit sans the power supply is from Poland. | |
| What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please. On my main system a Node 2 with the linear power supply upgrade from Poland, separate power supply, and Cullen AC cable feeding my McIntosh D150 thru an analysis plus digital cable. In my other two vintage systems Node N100s with Nordost power cab... | |
| Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment Custom made pure silver speaker wires for my Tannoy super tweeters on my Tannoy Churchill’s. Wow soundstage and clarity in spades. | |
| Moving away from inefficient/low impedance speaker in order to move to a Tube Amp I have McIntosh MC30s driving 4ohm Sonus Faber Venere S’s. No problems | |
| Tube Preamps that work well with SS amps? McIntosh MC500 and C2300 tube preamp. Also an Mx110z and MC30s both of which are tubes. A tube amp and preamp doesn’t necessarily produce the results you’re are referring. | |
| Mc 240 vs. Prima Luna McIntosh, you have a highly sought after beautiful sounding amplifier that was made in the USA! Please this is a no brainer…..for the love of music. | |
| Best Phono You've Heard Under $2200 +1 on the McIntosh MX110Z, I use it with a Dynavector SUT and a Dynavector XXII cartridge. Beautiful! | |
| Describe the sound of point source loudspeakers? I have Tannoy Churchill's. They are stunning. Warm articulate and have an impressive soundstage. With that, I'd say the soundstage they are capable of sets them apart. | |
| Tube Amp, Preamp upgrades -- what did you do that improved your units? Use Cardas Silver Solder | |
| Blue Lights McIntosh D150 | |
| What were the radio stations of your youth that helped you on your music/audio journey? WNEW in New York! I still think about them. And when we moved to Florida WQSR Quad 102.5 in Sarasota! Both ruled my seventies childhood. | |
| What comes after Harbeth 30.1s? Love the one your with. | |
| You own a store, you sell 2 brands, which? McIntosh and Tannoy | |
| Music Direct and my recent exoeriences Had great experiences with both Music Direct and Audio Advisor. Love em both. |
