Classical Music for Aficionados
I've been obsessed with Schubert for the past 7-8 months. I'm completely in love with his music. I've found many a great pianist, including Volodos, Lupu etc. Recently discovered Shura Cherkassky. There are ample recordings on Tidal and Qobuz. You... 
mcintosh c2600 and ma6600 question
I sold my ma6600 for 3k here. If you’re buying brand new Mcintosh from a dealer you should get at least 15% off MSRP, at absolute minimum. If I was in your situation, I’d go for an all tube system and a preamp without a dac (c22, c70) you won’t re...

Gugnin, Kholodenko, Geniušas. Dedicated To The 90 Anniversary of Vera Gornostayeva (Live). This title is only available on TIDAL and mp3 on amazon. Kholodenko plays 3 pieces by Schubert 3 Klavierstücke, D. 946: No. 1 in E-Flat Minor. Brilliant vir...

twoleftears: I've been listening to Vadym Kholodenko today. Excellent technique and tone. I'm impressed with his fortitude to continue playing after suffering an unimaginable tragedy in life. Have you heard his Petruchka?

The set I’m referring to is on Tidal. It’s different than the 1979 BBC recording. https://www.amazon.com/Richter-Plays-Schubert-Live-Moscow/dp/B074511WM8/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=richter+...I thought this review was accurate This is pure Desert Island ... 
mcintosh c2600 and ma6600 question
Depends on your speakers. If you’re going the tube route then why not go fully tube and get a tube preamp as well. I’d go for the new C70 or C2600. A C22 would be a nice match to mc275, buy I think they discontinued the line. Whats does the rest o...

Richter plays Schubert live in Moscow. A 10 hour marathon of Schubert's sonatas. I fell asleep with my headphones. Surprisingly good sonics for such an old recording. Has anyone heard this set? Jcazador: I enjoyed gavrilov film on youtube, thank y... 
mcintosh c2600 and ma6600 question
separates definitely sound better, but I wish I kept the ma6600 for my other system, it was a sweet sounding amp 
mcintosh c2600 and ma6600 question
Low end totally collapsed, upper bass became muddy, soundstage narrowed and overall sweetness disappeared. When I connected to to MC452 there was a noticeable improvement in all areas and markedly improved from ma6600 when it was used as an integr... 
mcintosh c2600 and ma6600 question
Wasn’t good. Works with regular amp much better. I sold ma6600 
Classe vs. Anthem vs. Parasound
oem-wheelsCan you please clarify why you would pick Parasound over classe? Classe is still very much in business. Is your reason only because they charged your card twice ?  
Classe vs. Anthem vs. Parasound
Thank you.. That rules out anthem.  
Preamp recommendation
Also Anthem P5 amp for 2.7k, but used.  
Preamp recommendation
Found a classe ca-5100 amplifier, brand new, NOS. for $2.5k. Anyone know this amp? Would it be a good match with Parasound P7 and focal speakers ?
