| EL 34 based amplifier recommendations The Music Reference RM9 is a great choice. It will be a little easier to retube than the Cary.But I would have a tough time choosing between it and the Cary minus the retubing cost.Both are terrific tube amplifiers!Good Luck! | |
| Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2 I agree with you on design,price tag and name.. Ritteri.But that being said with the right two amplifiers you will be able to hear a difference.Whether it's for good or bad it's not that hard to hear.I suppose there's no absolutes to anything espe... | |
| Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2 Ritteri here's an section of an article I came across done by Doug Blackburn of Soundstage.You can go to this address and read the entire article .Of course this is one persons opinion. http://www.soundstage.com/maxdb/maxdb101998.htmFeedback in lo... | |
| Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2 Aball thats what I was trying to say in other words.It does seem a tad slower and softer.Which to my ears is slighlty cloudy.I really don't understand the reason for having these settings.When the designer states for the most transparency leave it... | |
| Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2 Thanks Edartford for the info.The Music Reference has 3 settings for feedback and the manual stated for best results to leave it on the lowest setting.It was very easy to hear the differences when changing from one setting to another.The more feed... | |
| Speaker Upgrade Suggestion Hi Beatelbum ...I had the same experience with the Magnepans when I first listened at a dealer showroom. I thought they were lacking in detail. But theres a difference in true inner detail and detail.I was accustomed to listening to speakers that ... | |
| Moving from Magnepan MGIIIA to 3.6 Damn Tireguy...just let me know when their finished,where you live and when your going on vacation! I'll swing thru and pick them up.LOL!!! | |
| Carver Power Amps Paul I don't own either but it seems like your defending your own amps and the amount you spent on them LOL!!!!Why can't the Parasound or Carver be a reference or did you write the book on that too! Sorry I just find it funny you put hope it helps... | |
| Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2 Good question Ritteri....well it's not an audible noise.I didn't notice it until I switched the the Mac out with the Monarchy.The Monarchy is supposed to be no feedback.And take also into account the wattage (monarchy)25 wpc verses (mac)300 wpc.In... | |
| Whats the tubiest sounding preap? Maybe Cary? No remote thou! | |
| Adcom 545 vs. B&K st-140 If you want a little warmth go with the B&K. But if you want neutrality and your planning to add your own warmth go with the 545 MK2 Adcom. Sweet equates to colored but that can sound good too! Too much warmth seems to kill the clarity and det... | |
| Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2 Thanks Ritteri for the advice.Actually I'am using Magnepans at home.I have a friend that owns the 100v.2s and I have spent many hours listening to them with different equipment.I see you use Voodoo aswell..these are some giant killer cables.And an... | |
| Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2 You are right.. I checked Aball.. no argument.Maybe it's the powerguard or sentry monitor circuits they use in these models.I also listened to my 7106 on the 100v2s.And it was rolled off in comparison to the Adcoms and it did sound better because ... | |
| Suggested speakers to take the place of Dunlavy This maybe off the beaten path but what about some Innersounds.These use transmission loaded bass drivers.And I don't think you will find anything as detailed with great tonal balance as an Electrostatic speaker! Of course there best enjoyed while... | |
| Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2 Eldartford..that could be true .I have a soft spot for Maggies and Martin Logans.But I doubt the sounding better is due to price,it's more of system matching.Even the little Monarchy SM 70 for $350.00 smoked that Mac that I used to own.I'am one of... |
