| Amplifier to go with a Mcintosh c2300 If you like SS go with a MC402 like mentioned. If you prefer tubes, a s/h MC2102 and then save for another to monoblock | |
| New Focal Grande Utopia EM 180K!!!!!!!!! shit. They look absolutely wonderful, however until I win the lottery I'll pass. | |
| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? Lloydsounds like a wondeful choice of tube amps to choose from. Hopefully you can hear them in your system so you can decide best for you. BTW, my local dealer is getting a pair of cj LP275's in a couple of weeks. That will be an interesting compa... | |
| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? Hi Lloyd I owned the cj prem350 for about 6 months. Did not like it at all at the end and was very happy to sell them. Just sounds like SS, expecially in the bass which is lean and tight and not lifelike. Don't get me wrong, it sounded better tha... | |
| Has anyone heard the Kuzma 4 Point arm? Interesting the "product of the year" awards have not been published in HIFI+. Issue 61 does not go on sale til October 16th. Yet it is for all to see on the Kuzma wensite, even siting issue 60 - which it is not published in. The review which I ha... | |
| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? has anyone heard the Pass XA.5 upgraded class A amps??I wonder how they would go with my Strads and how similar they sound to nice tubes in the upper frequencies. | |
| Furutech / Air Tight LP Flattener - do they work? I have the HRX with outer ring for several years now. Works very well and there are no issues whatsoever with damaging your cartridge. You will need space or a stool or something that you can rest your ouiter ring onto when changing records. I als... | |
| SME V, Tri-Planar or Phantom B-44 Aoliviero That would probably be the case, as I said he only had the Phantom II for a few days. That said I would not want any more detail with the Phantom, it is plenty detailed. How does the Tri-planer gel with the Raven?. Nice review in Soundst... | |
| mcintosh 501 vs 2102 No never heard the MC275. Me I like the idea od my tubes cruising with 200 watts for 16 x KT88's or 6550's vs 150 watts with 8 x KT88's or 6550's. Whuch amp do you think is working harder?? | |
| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? LLoydAren't the Bernings 30k?? | |
| mcintosh 501 vs 2102 The bass on the 2xMC2102's gets larger and grows with the music as you turn up the volume, the 501's bass gets tighter as does most SS bass. I think the tube bass is more natural sounding. In the upper frequencies again the Mc2102's have better de... | |
| mcintosh 501 vs 2102 That is my thread Jamnesta has attached. My view is that 1 x MC2102 is generally a nice amp but does not have the dynamics nor the power vs the MC501's. The single MC2102 does however have that "tube" magic that the MC501's will never have and the... | |
| SME V, Tri-Planar or Phantom B-44 My dealer got a Phantom2 a couple of weeks back to put on his raven AC. He had previously had a Phantom and liked it very much. Much to his horror when he removed the VPI 10.5 and put on the Phantom2 he indicated it was not a step forward. yes the... | |
| Furutech / Air Tight LP Flattener - do they work? Hi AlexI'll scan mine and email. It is very easy to use once power up.You should have bought a universal voltage transformer when you were in Japan - they have them in all electronic stores.BTW, Don't use the flattener on Universal re-issue vinyl ... | |
| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? The nice thing about the Mac tube amps is that you can run them on 2ohm taps, 4 ohm taps or 8ohm taps. Parallel or bridge them and they can run at full power into loan from 1ohm to 16ohms. The ACT 2 will drive them fine as well. I run my 2xMC2102'... |
