| Wounded Bird some are-some are not, but all have sounded really good. | |
| Intergrateds: Classe,Krell,Bryston....... can't go wrong with any one of these. the bryston is my personal favorite. all are neutral as can be, and match well with a wide variety of front ends and speakers. outstanding build quality also. | |
| BAT vs. Mcintosh? for sound, they are both up there among the best money can buy. if you expect to live with it for years, well the mac is in a league of its own. | |
| does more power=better quality ? entirely dependent on a good match with a loudspeaker. tubes vs transisters is as much an astetic choice as a sonic one. just try to stay within the recomended power for your speakers. | |
| Tube power vs Solid state power, how much is enoug justin time is correct...even the mightiest of tube amps and the most refined ss amps won't quite do what the other can. the loudspeakers you use are still the most important thing. i have been a long time advocate of push/pull tube amps, trying t... | |
| What is the future of redbook players? the conventional cd will outlive sacd and dvd audio. ultimately it will be a boutique entity similar to vinyl. most music will flow from the internet and the playback (we are here already) will be the home computer or ipod....the hi end industry s... | |
| McIntosh MC300 vs McIntosh MC7300 any differences? the earlier 7300's had a more narrow chassis....collectors covet this. sonically they are dead on neutral and power enough to drive anything | |
| Help...Need a New Amp bryston, classe, and krell are all excellent, and all have new and used models in or near your pricerange. they all match well with most conventional speaker systems, and are all reliable, and neutral | |
| McIntosh - is it that great? mac is an iconoclistic brand like harley-davidson. i like their sound (some don't). one thing for sure, historically and now, investing in it for a high end system isn't flushing your money down the toilet. mac will be mac and harley will be harle... | |
| Tube preamp with great pace?Cary, Supratek, etc.? mike..i agree. prat is a 'live music'-like quality, but it does come at the expense of weight and tone, other 'life like' qualities. it has since jbl and ar fought for the wallets of hi fi enthusiasts worldwide. they were opposites AND they were b... | |
| Tube preamp with great pace?Cary, Supratek, etc.? the key to prat is matched components. naim, linn, and exposure (and revox, yes revox)have it. any of these companies would recommend 'like' components for best results. | |
| Tube preamp with great pace?Cary, Supratek, etc.? by all means, you're welcome. remember, the top priorities in a club or disco/dj system for prerecorded music is volume and prat. the other qualities of playback take a back seat to both. | |
| Tube preamp with great pace?Cary, Supratek, etc.? all i'm saying is that i can't name any 'quality' preamps that don't have good prat. its simply inherant in all 'classic' components. accuphase, levinson,arc,mac,bryston,vac,cj,cary, naim....and yes...lots and lots more. i think the ability of any... | |
| Tube preamp with great pace?Cary, Supratek, etc.? the 'pace' of recorded music is affected far more by your loudspeaker and the recording, than your amp or preamp. pretty much any quality amp ss or tube has the 'rhythm' thing down with a well matched speaker system. the material and driver/ribbon... | |
| Thin speaker cable van den hul makes a superb thin cable....its used in a lot of studios. its very inexpensive compared to most |
