| Extremely budget minded system for under $500.00 ? Here is a great system that I don't think can be beat for the money. It is a serious sound system. All component prices are quoted new, only the B&W speakers are quoted as used found here on Agon.Art Sla 1 amp - $165 (One input for CD player).... | |
| Used Preamp for $2000 to $3000 You wont find a better pre than the Thor for $3000 and that is a sure thing. They are amazing and an outright steal for anything near $3000. | |
| What does 'Fast mean? Again, my 1970's hand held, transistor radio sounded fast. Why? Because it produced threadbare sounding music without body, soul and foundation. It played a 3 minute song in 3 minutes just like a Lamm SET amp - no faster. A Mcintosh 402 amp won't ... | |
| What does 'Fast mean? Fast usually means the sound is thin and without body/weight making it seem faster! That is what I have found when auditioning "fast" gear.Bill | |
| Help me pick an amp for under $5,000 Get a Mac 402 - best amp I have ever heard or owned. Yep, that darn good. Used $3500 or so.Bill | |
| B&W Rip-Off By "too funny" I mean it is a very good example of a copy job that simply makes me chuckle. No issue with the speaker or man as I feel he is being straight forward.Bill | |
| B&W Rip-Off Cool down - the ad is really to funny! Bill | |
| $2500 CD player with digital input and volume cont Yes, the Cary players sound very good!Bill | |
| $2500 CD player with digital input and volume cont Mine was the newer CDP. I guess it is all about system/room matching. In my home and with my gear it was fast, nice punch and extended at both frequency extremes. It lacked emotion, meat and body however and left me cold.Dali Grand speakersCJ MV60... | |
| Bat VK75 or Mcintosh MC 402 Mac 402 is the finest sounding amp I have owned and heard - period. I have owned, many amps costing more and none have the meat, weight, ease, body and transparancy of this fine amp. I just love it. Get it and be done with your amp needs for at le... | |
| $2500 CD player with digital input and volume cont I have also owned the Quad and Opus 21. I loved the Opus 21, simply world class and among the best. I did not like the Quad at all. For me it was a huge bummer!No real body or soul - sounded like a stereo, not music.The Muse Thalia used or Model 1... | |
| Mac gear "Slow" or others "Fast" Matrix - 100% right!Bill | |
| Am I behind the digital eightball? APL 3910 is a great choice. The Muse Model 11 is also a very nice sounding player.Bill | |
| Mac gear "Slow" or others "Fast" What do folks mean by slow? The Mac MC402 I have is not slow like a Cary tube amp (older ones). If an amp has meat and body, then one calls it slow. When an amp is more threadbare, then some mistake this for speed. Well the newer Mac amps play as ... | |
| Mac gear "Slow" or others "Fast" Bigjoe is soooooooooo right here. I own the MC402 amp and just love it. It is the finest amp I have put into my system. So effortless and natural. Anyone who has owned this amp knows it is world class. Forget the brand, forget your bias, forget th... |
