| Single ended = large images? I would recommend you look at Triode labs-Finale Audio out of Toronto, they make some of the best SET’s I’ve heard. I’m not sure though if they make one powerful enough for your 91db-8ohm (4ohm min) speakers though. You mentioned 89db but the man... | |
| Calling All Tube Gurus Mac new branded tubes are JJ’s. Not the best but reliable and available. | |
| Solid State Preamp to replace tube unit MAC SS preamp would probably fit the bill. very flexable as well. Used of course. | |
| Looking for some feedback Interesting, I have a C2700 and i'm thinking of getting a better phono stage. I'll follow this thread. I will say though after a tube roll the built in ones are much better. the JJ tubes are not the best soudning tubes IMO. I have yet to find an... | |
| Why tube rectification? Tube if pared with a choke everyday. SS if no choke. | |

| Interaural Crosstalk And Loudspeaker Setup why is this a concern ? try a headphones i suppose. Humans have evolved to hear from both ears at the same time thats how we localise things. you may just make it worce. we can tell distance, angle to sound, etc from the different time the audio ... | |
| ???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard??? Tride labs 2A3 mono blocks, with the right speakers they are sublime. | |
| Echoey walls and dust mites I would not imagine dust mites could live in most acoustic treatments as they are manmade products. I take antihistamines every day for my allergies, so I feel your pain. | |
| DAC question - is music streamer DAC better than mcintosh DA2? It was better then a few streamers i've had, including an Aurender A10. Mines in a C2700. took a much more expemcive DAC to outprefomr it. I'd say 4$k and up to get better. not different as many are just that. | |
| Time for a new cartridge I took me some time to find a cart i liked as much as my VDH. There is something about the VDH stylus profile that’s special IMO. I've had mine rebuilt at VDH twice now. But i found a lightly used Sumiko Pear wood celebration 2 that fills in quite... | |

| Mcintosh mc312 I have the MC301 mono blocks which i believe are the mono version of the MC312 and i'm very happy with them. Detailed, great sound stage, smooth, excelent bass depth and detail, etc, but not overly warm like the older generation mac's. I'm thinki... | |
| Dedicated CD Transport vs DAC Assuming you mean a CD player and not "quality dedicated CD Transport " as Transports do not have much of a sound on their own as they do not have a DAC in them. From my experience if the Transport is decent enough not to put errors or other an... |
