| Top 5 sounding cd player in the 1000-2000$ range I love the Arcam fmj CD36. I have had McIntosh and many other brands, all quite good, but this CD36 continually amazes me with it's excellent function and sound quality. (Arcam has just introduced the CD37 which adds SACD). | |
| Dynaudio Special 25's Hi Docrobbi,I have the Dynaudio Special 25's on mass loaded Dynaudio stand 2's. I originally used the McIntosh C220 tube preamp and 275 amp with very nice results. I switched to the Ayre AX7-e Integrated amplifier, and CX7-e CD player and Ayre P5x... | |

| Deep Cleaning Records With Steam? The best Audiogon thread EVER!I went out and bought the steamer at wal-mart. Please excuse my ignorance, there are a few things I do not understand.1) How far do I hold the steamer nozzle from the record?2) What kind of motion do I use? Circular f... | |
| Audio Technica AT33 PTG or AT33R I just purchased the AT33PTG while I was in Tokyo. This is "The" cartridge the Japanese Audiophiles prefer according to every audio store I was in. It outsells the top Denons by a wide margin and is more expensive.I just put it on my Thorens with ... | |

| What is best amp for Maggie 3.6R What a great thread! I had experience with a few of these. I tried the Classe', owned the McIntosh 275 Tube amp, but tried a pair of 275's, and finally landed on the McIntosh MC402.The 402 provided deeper, more detailed bass performance and in my ... | |
| Your Favorate JBL's from the 70's I love this thread. My dad was one of the largest JBL dealers on the west coast. I worked for him as a kid, part time while in school. I used my money to buy JBL L100's, a Marantz 2270 receiver and a Marantz 6300 Turntable with an Empire Cartridge... | |

| McIntosh Integrated I have owned 6450, 6500, and 6900. All are excellent. I now use the C220 preamp & MC275 IV. Even though there is less power, a tube warm up period, it has been my biggest improvement by far! | |
| Synergistic amps for Klipsch Cornwall speakers? My personal favorite, and what I'm using as i write this, McIntosh MC275. The sound is wonderful. | |
| McIntosh MA6500 vs. MA6900 I have owned both, and used them for my Magneplanar 1.6 speakers.For sound quality the 6900 has the 6500 beat. I do like the fact that the 6500 has terminals and switching for 2 sets of speakers.The Autoformers in the 6900 insure full power delive... | |
| AKG K701 I can help answer your question. I currently own the AKG 701's, Sennheiser 580's & 600's, Grado SR-325's. Out of the entire bunch the AKG's are by far the best. They have the sweetest sound, deepest bass, out of the bunch. They are also the le... |
