| How many times can u visit a hifi store before it annoys the store if u plan on a purchase @cohicks4 +1 | |
| How many times can u visit a hifi store before it annoys the store if u plan on a purchase I have read many of the BS responses you have received regarding placing a limit on visits or what is respectful for a dealer. You are obviously interested in their products. I would go in every day until you make the right decision for you. If ... | |
| Talk me out of buying Monoblocks and into a stereo amp instead @dman777 I believe my tastes have changed in regard to how music is presented. In my audiophile journey, I always preferred warmth. I loved tubes, but they have limitations. McIntosh was the closest solid state, sounding like tubes but with trem... | |
| Talk me out of buying Monoblocks and into a stereo amp instead @dman777 You have some valid points. Being an audiophile is a disease, and we are never satisfied. I love the McIntosh products; they are probably the best value/performance in the industry. Yes, there will always be better. I have been in this ... | |
| Talk me out of buying Monoblocks and into a stereo amp instead @dman777 Have not tried to sell yet. Still working things out. | |
| Talk me out of buying Monoblocks and into a stereo amp instead @dman777 The C12000 sounded beautiful in the system I listened to. However, my MAC system cannot compete with the Solution 331. It is not even close. The Soulution was paired with Magico A5s. I love McIntosh, but they are not in the same league.... | |
| Talk me out of buying Monoblocks and into a stereo amp instead @dman777 I think the MC 462 punches way above its weight. I was not able to demo the C12000 when I was purchasing, but I believe that combo would outperform the C2700/MC611s. The performance of the C12000 is substantially better than the C2700. ... | |
| Talk me out of buying Monoblocks and into a stereo amp instead @dman777 I was in the exact same position you were two years ago. I ended up purchasing a pair of MC 611s and C2700. I auditioned the MC 462 with the C2700, but the 611s were slightly better. In hindsight, I wish I had purchased the MC 462 and C... | |
| Soulution 331 vs Gryphon Diablo 333 @nitewulf Both components were in the same rack and swapped out. I do not want anyone to tell me what to buy; my ears will decide! I could easily live with either in the long term. However, the T+A did not provide the jaw-dropping moments that t... | |
| Soulution 331 vs Gryphon Diablo 333 @bubba12 KEF Reference 1 Metas. It's not my endgame speaker, though. @nitewulf I directly compared the two. T+A was warmer (which I like), but it did not have the magic of Soulution. Also, the T+A was fully broken in; the Soulution only had a... | |
| Soulution 331 vs Gryphon Diablo 333 @at0310t Thank you for the update! You mentioned pairing the 312 with the 760 DAC. I am considering pairing the 312 with the new 360 DAC. I only use digital as an input. I question the difference in sound quality by powering the 312 with the DAC... | |
| Power for two subs. Maybe have an electrician run an additional circuit? | |
| Streamer Recommendations @bheyamoto Innuos Pulse. It has great sound and a great app. | |
| USB Cables: beginning the rabbit hole @dvvilkins I will save you a lot of time. The Inakustik Reference and Wireworld Platinum Starlight 8 will fit your bill. You need to spend $3k to better them, and that will only be by a little bit. Been there and done that. Best of luck! | |
| Soulution 331 vs Gryphon Diablo 333 Sooo...... I was able to demo the Soulution 331. All I can say is "wow'. It was paired with Magico A5s. The quality of the bass was most impressive; it was very clean and tight. The midrange and highs were magical, more so holographic. The placeme... |
