| Audience Au24 vs. Ridge Street Audio? Ridgestreetaudio,although I was the one asking for advice, I did not get the feeling the thread went off-topic. Interesting questions were raised. I, for one, have found the advice of Robert Stein of the Cable Company to be as helpful as correct.T... | |
| Big Difference Between The C200 & C46 and C2200 I compared the C200 to the C2200 and the C42, the predecessor of the C46. The C200 was the best of all, in all regards. It sounded as tube-like natural as the C2200, but had more authority, more drive, better bass than the C2200 when it came to dy... | |
| Differences between MAC C100, C200 and C46 Larrman, I own a C200, too. Until now, I have only listened to CD; now I will get back into vinyl, too. Do you play vinyl, and if so, what turntable/arm/cartridge do you use? I have not yet decided about using the MC-input of the C200, or adding a... | |
| Integrated Amp and Speakers for a teenager? I second the Cambridge Azur 540 or 640, if you want to go for a new amp. Another possibility are Yamaha-integrateds. In your stead, however, I would search the archives here and on audioasylum.com for $1000 amps, and look ot here on audiogon which... | |
| Negative feedback, voltage and output impedance No rule without exception. "The result is that amplifiers with negative feedback will exhibit an unnatural sheen and/or harshness in the high frequencies", Atmasphere says. But McIntosh, to give but one example, uses a large amount of negative fee... | |
| Big Mcintosh MC1000 pwr amp s? I find the characteristics of McIntosh-amps being "slow and boring without any hint of realism. they are not etched true. thats because their dull. the sound is not clean. its dull" to be a parody, being far from the truth from my own experience a... | |
| Amp for Shahinian Diapason Jrd351, one tip from me: I have Shahinian Obelisk and Diapasons, and a McIntosh C200 preamp and MC402 amp (My question which amp to use is for a friend who just bought Diapasons as well). I used simple wire in the beginning, but, after a recommend... | |
| Why do tubed preamps image better than SS? I compared the McIntosh C2200 tube-preamp, which by all accounts is a very fine preamp, to McIntosh's C42 and C200 preamp. The C200 was in all regards better than the tube-C2200, including dynamics, imaging and bass control. I do not think it make... | |
| Book on McIntosh I e-mailed McIntosh as follows:I, like many other audiophiles, read with interest about Ken Kessler's book on Quad. How about a book on McIntosh's history, done by a real writer, not only with nice color photographs, but with the whole, real story... | |
| Amp for Shahinian Diapason JRD351,do you speak from experience? If so, what did you compare the Macs to? | |
| Crossovers on B&W Nautilus802 They are of good quality. Starting soon, however, B&W is going to use parts from Mundorf, which are recognised to be the best crossover-parts worldwide, for the whole Nautilus-series from 802 upwards. If you want to upgrade now, take a look at... | |
| McIntosh MC352 Vs MC500 Look in the archive here - as far as I remember ljgj compared the MC500 and the 352 and found the 352 to be the better-sounding amp, probably bcs it is the newer design | |
| Book on McIntosh I know Russell's website and all the other usual web-suspects. I am talking about a real book, with nice color photographs, and a real story of McIntosh. Ken Kessler has done a good one on Quad that came out recently. | |
| Buzzing in Exactpower SP15 Sugarbrie,The SP15 A is Exact Power's Balanced Power product and does neither adjust voltage nor power. This is done by the EP15A, which stabilizes the incoming power and provides stable voltage at its outputs. I experience the same slight buzz wi... | |
