McIntosh MCD-205 Changer? I own a MCD205 for 3 years now, and I am very happy with it. I have tried other CD players like Mephisto IIX and Accuphase DP-67 but did not experience improvement over the sound the 205 delivers. Even using the MCD 205 as a transport and feeding ... | |
Acapella vs. Avantgarde Again we see how a badly setup of demo equipment can win or lose a customer. The violon is surely a fantastic speaker and Amphibius will surely be extremely happy with them. But if he could have auditioned properly set up AvantGarde Nanos, (Unos i... | |
Acapella vs. Avantgarde I have not heard the acapella, but I have heard the Uno, the Nano and the Mezzo. The Nano improves on the sound of the Uno. It is much more refined and sounds definitively better. The Mezzo, which is really a Duo with a horn loaded woofer is absol... | |

Amps for Avantgarde Well, after some tweaking here and there I ended up with a system which just sounds fantastic.I did replace the Cetron 300B Triodes on the Klimo Beltaine with a set of Chinese made TJ 300B Mesh Anode Globe tubes and left the AEG E88CC in the Merli... | |

Curious about the state of your hearing? I tried the test with some AGK headphones and I could hear 30Hz to 8khz. Nothing above that.I listened to my old Altec Santana speakers hooked up to two SAC La Forza Mono power amps fed by a Lynx 22 audio card in my home office and there I could a... | |
Is 5 Watts enough for Horns ? The room is 400 sq.ft.The volume can be cranked up to where the bass moves objects on the shelves and the. I did that with a pair of Klimos 300B SET monos.But I also did read somewhere on this forum that 5 watts is not enough. That's why I am asking. | |
PC audio out USB to external DAC Check out the CEC DA53 DAC which has a USB connector and does the job quite well. | |
Preamp Deal of the Century Powers,in the price range you ask there is a magnificient CD player: the CEC 51TLXR. Many revievers have it as their personal CD player. It has a last generation DAC and you can use it as a transport only if you want to experiment with outboard DA... | |
