| Looking for 50-100 watts of Tube Power (give or take) for my JBL 4349s Not on the OP list and worth considering - McIntosh MC275 with C2300. Amazing sound. | |
| Upgrades and repairs on hi fi components Another thumbs up for George Meyer in LA. I am able to drive there and have spent quite a bit of time talking vintage Mac gear and required maintenance. Expensive and worth it. Much more expensive to have repairs of repairs.. | |
| Seeking Honest Opinions: Your Experience with McIntosh Audio Gear Having owned Mac equipment for most of the past 25 years, I would like to add my thoughts. SQ - suits my ear, more the tubes than the solid state. I have made money on all of the Mac gear I have sold over the years, except for the speakers. My ma... | |
| Magico A3 replacement I upgraded from the A3's to the A5's almost three years ago and have been enjoying them tremendously. The A5 is a great speaker that plays above its class. I run them with Mac tube pre and power and have added two B&W DB3D's. I am a solid Phi... | |

The interesting aspect of this thread for me, aside from the usual morality plays, are the percentages across components. I am in the camp of allocating the highest percentage to speakers (50%). The nex... | |
| Streamer Upgrade Bluesound Node To Aurender N10 Are you really comparing a $600 streamer with a $6,800 Aurender N10? I would hope to shout there is an improvement. A better comparison is the Node2i to the Cambridge Audio CXN V2. Even though it is almost twice the price, it is not 11 times! I ... | |
| Where to invest the most in the "digital chain"? I am coming at this from a slightly different angle. My Mac MCD500 has a great DAC, based on the ESS Sabre Reference 8-channel D/A converter in Stereo Quad Balanced mode. My Node 2i, while competent, was the weakest link in my chain. I researched... | |
| What Is Most Important? @juanmanuelfangioli f / wrong all those years.. | |
| Sub Confusion I use a B&W DB3D located behind my rig firing the drivers to the side walls. It supports my A5's at the low end and pressurizes the room at the same time. For me, the perfect sound. | |
