| McIntosh C45 question Kr4 nailed it. I owned one.Bill | |
| DAC to Amps bypassing preamp: Opinions please A preamp has always sounded better in my system. This is playing with any top CD player with great analog volumes including a Opus 21, AA Capitole, Muse Thalia and Quad unit. Each and every time without fail a preamp was needed to get more dynamic... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier His Transparency IC,power and speaker cables are the best I have ever owned. He modded a Tandberg tuner and it sounded better my $6800 CD player. Yes, his stuff is first rate.Bill | |
| Review: Mcalister Audio PP150S Tube amp No I have not tried using different tubes. That could prove interesting. | |
| Dali Helicon 400's or other with current Mac gear Dali & Mac is a match made in heaven. I own te Dali Grands and with the MC402 it was so sweet! | |
| Advice on budget amp. Bigjoe, have you owned the Art sla 1 amp? I dont know of any pro amp that sounds as good for this litte. The Art Sla is as you say better than many midfi amps.Bill | |
| Music volume? What about your sound level? Bigjoe, you will damage your ears! Wow! | |
| Best Mcintosh solid-state amp 200-300 watts? MC402 400 watts is so fine. These are great amps as are the lower power ones 250-300 watts. Effortless and tube like with great detail and texture at the same time.Bill | |
| Review: Mcalister Audio PP150S Tube amp This amp has been traveling into some other systems as well as going up against some very nice Monarchy SE250 monoblock amps in my system - $5000. Overall the Monarchy amps win out as they image better and have a sweeter midrange. They are also mu... | |
| Advice on budget amp. Art Sla 1 for $169 on Ebay. Killer 100 watt per channel amp. I mean killer. I have some posts here on the Gon about it. Before you spend anymore check it out.Bill | |
| What are we listening for during break in? Charlie, your over analzing audiophiles you dont even know. Sorry, I am not hearing things and wire sounds different after break in. I have heard this on dozens of occasions. No, I am sane and well aware of things that look, taste, feel and smell ... | |
| What are we listening for during break in? Timrhu said it all. If you take the time and it is of interest to you one will conclude that cables do change with burn in. If it seems like a waste of time and you dont care, then that is fine and I completely understand why one thinks cable burn... | |
| Review: Mcalister Audio PP150S Tube amp I would call Pete of Mcalister as he makes many amps and custom amps. I am sure he has the perfect amp for your SET system. His amps have great bottom end and have SET like transparency. The PP150 is much more powerful then you need, but would sou... | |
| What are we listening for during break in? Gregadd, no it's not the listener. We are talking about objective not subjective changes that are easily heard. A/B two wires - one new and your current IC that you are familiar with. At first the new wire is not as deep in the bass as your curren... | |
| What are we listening for during break in? Wow, how can any audiophile who has gone through much wire say it needs no break in. Come on folks this is audio 101, audio grade school if you will. Of coarse they do. Some more than others. They all react differently. My current set sounded clos... |
