| Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2 Jsujo...I think your on to something. My Mac did have the autoformers.Maybe this is what I was hearing.It was great for speaker protection but not for sound quality! I admit I don't like the sound of Adcoms on 100v2 Paradigms but hooked up on some... | |
| Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2 Well Arthur I have owned the Mcintosh 7106 and compared to the 585 adcom. I think it would sound thin.Why ..well the Mac has a thickness to it.It sounds like Mcintosh tried to make this amp sound like tubes.Which was not a very good idea. The 585 ... | |
| Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2 You know some of us have to make ourselves feel better when we spend more on some of this stuff.Adcom 500 series cheap sound ..I doubt it! You will find the same transistors in some Rowlands,Pass,and Mark Levinsons. I guess they sound cheap too! O... | |
| Thiel CS1.6 vs Sonus Faber Grand Piano - $5k budgt Right now you could get the whole Soliloquy setup. Soliloquy (new)5.3s for $900.00,Center for (new)400.00 and the Soliloquy 5.0s(new) for $390.00 without stands.Or go with four 5.0s and the center channel.And a matching sub for around $600.00. you... | |
| integrated amp that matches well w/ Soliloquy 5.3s If your not stuck on just integrates.I will suggest Monarchy SM-70 monoblocks with a nice tube preamp on the front.If you go used it will put you well under $2500.00.And the rest could go for wires or another CD player.Try some pure copper interco... | |
| Rocket 88R vs v12R??? Thats great Kevziek I'am glad you love your speakers.I have no favorite speaker but I will say this.No B&W will ever be as resolving of inner detail as a electrostat,ribbon or planar speaker! I don't care what kind of amplifier you use on it.T... | |
| Power conditioner for amps Tom I use a Monster Power HTS 2600.It has the staggered switching like the one your using.I would like to get the AVS 2000,which keeps the currrent steady at 120 volts.I've heard these do wonders for systems.Since nothing is starved of power the e... | |
| Power conditioner for amps Well Tom I'am using a Adcom 585LE thru a power conditioner.I have no problems with a lack of power.It doesn't seem to constrict anything.Even when running the maggies hard this amp is no warmer than it is at idle. I also like the staggered on and ... | |
| Rocket 88R vs v12R??? Kevziek ...Like anything else it depends on the speakers and the rest of your equipment.Magnepans are revealing speakers in a good way... B&W is just plain bright! The sound you describe.. is my experience with B&W speakers.It just goes to... | |
| Rocket 88R vs v12R??? Hello Brie sorry no direct comparisons with those models.I have spent hours listening to the Cary 12i and the Rocket 88.At the time there were no R versions.The only difference between the v12 and v12i was the input sensitivty.Other than that no d... | |
| New preamp or other suggestions? I agree with Sogood51...maybe something with a soft dome tweeter.Good Luck! | |
| Grain free, how to identify it Bemopti thats pretty deep.I have one cd Modern Cool(Patricia Barber).It used to drive me nuts because of one track with some great horn solos. I thought the problem was my amplifier but after trying a different one this was ruled out.So I moved on... | |
| Gilmore Audio planars revealed Hell!!! give me a one year trial with that center channel!!!!! | |
