| Beates Mono- CD Box Set -Japanese pressing / issue Can't say about the Japanese edition, but the EMI version I bought off Amazon for a song (they had a sale going shortly after it was issued) is superb. Totally worth it. | |
| RCA or Optical? +1 Kijanki. I have a very long run (8'+) from my digital cable box to my processor. The box had a bad SPDIF output, so went with an armored TOSLINK. Works perfectly. On the short run from my BD to processor, I found the TOSLINK far more listenable... | |
| Altec Lansing Model 19 I suggest you consider McIntosh MC275; the extra power will give you better control at lower listening volumes. A C20 or C22 would work, but you might want to consider going with a C2300 if you run a MC cartridge. Not vintage, but the phono sectio... | |
| Audio Desk Record Cleaner-Anyone buy one yet Just wanted to add my experience as food for thought. Considered the Audio Desk and the KL, but was put off by the beau coup bux required and spotty user comments regarding post-sale support on the Audio Desk. Purchased the V8 cleaner, primarily b... | |
| Vintage Onkyo integrated amp ? The old Onkyo would work, but not very well. A buddy of mine just tried this exercise with his and a pair of new Martin Logan EFXs. The Magnepans are even less stable than the M-Ls, so more current would be the way to go. Good luck & happy lis... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Carl Palmer, 21 November 2014, Beachland Ballroom, Cleveland OH. We've seen several excellent acts in the past 12 months: Joe Bonamassa (2 November 2013, State Theater, Cleveland), Stanley Clarke, Tony Levin, Adrian Belew and Carl Palmer (those la... | |
| Your Dream/Team Rock Band Wow! Peter Hamill & VdGG. Saw Peter do a gig at the Beachland Ballroom in Cleveland a few years ago. As acerbic as ever, but wow - can he ever perform. My supergroup would definitely include him, Bill Bruford, Tony Levin, Peter Gabriel and Rob... | |
| McIntosh Tube Pre vrs Audio Research The C2300 is one of the very best preamps made, period. It has a truly superior phono section and is beautifully musical. It even made Harry Pearson's (RIP) reference system for a while. The C2500 is the same unit with Mc's fancy DAC added for goo... | |
| Recommendation on MC cartidge and Phono Preamp I'm a huge Dynavector fan; my XX2 Mk II is an ideal match for my C50. The matching DV step-up would complete the system and hit your budget range. No matter which way you go, good luck & happy listening! | |
| Most enduring audio purchase Tandberg TCD440A. Bought it new in 1981 and it still sounds as good now as it did then. Had to throw repairs at it a few times, but after 33 years, that's a great track record. Next up are my Rogers Studio 1s from 1983 and my Sota Sapphire in 1984... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Adrian Belew Power Trio, Beachland Ballroom, Cleveland OH, 31 October 2014 | |
| Not as much activity on analog here +1 Chayro. | |
| Best Sounding Musicians Yes to Belew, Metheny, Getz and Gilmour. Missing Frank Zappa, Steve Howe, Bill Bruford, Carl Palmer, Stanley Clarke, Tony Levin, John McLaughlin, Chick Corea and Tony Banks, among others. | |

| Mcintosh pre-amps c2500 c2300 c50 sonic difference You are looking at 3 of the best preamps made. The C2300 and C2500 are essentially the same unit, but the 2500 adds the DAC used in the C50. All of them feature superb phono sections; good enough that the 2300 made the Absolute Sound reference sys... |
