| Is preamp remote volume a deal breaker for you? best audio quality doesn't equate with "not having a remote"with the advent of the music server and using playlists--remote is critical logistically imo. if you play vinyl only, you probably don't care one bit. | |
| California Audio Show-why I hate audio conventions I was at the THE Show in Newport and was able to put my own music on in every single room--except one, and that is because I left too soon probably.I had to wait for quite some time in a few rooms.Your own music sells gear--IMO. And I can't tell h... | |
| Can any preamps for $2-3k touch Auregies-L? Gopher- check out the Mastersound EL34 integrated amp. It's really, really good for the money. Since it's PSET, probably gets you the soundstage you are looking for. | |
| Lamm 2L Reference vs CJ GAT 100% disagree that remote is a compromise. even Vladimir's latest preamp has one. I'm sure Audiofeil will chime in soon...3....2....1.... | |
| Looking for opinions on Tannoy Prestige line. I heard the big Tannoys (Canterburys?) at THE Show a few weeks back on several recommendations.I own Zu Def2s as a reference---which I still prefer. The Zus seem faster and more lively than the Tannoys, which with Cary electronics sound stunning o... | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... I'll vote for Bon Iver as of now. i won't classify it as rock though, so will leave it in this thread. | |
| accuphase compare to mcintosh the reason that there are 200 Mac items for sale is Mac sells 200x more volume than Accuphase.quality for Mac wasn't good 10 years ago---but open up a 452 or 601 and tell me they aren't using quality parts throughout. | |
| Dynaudio c-2 ...amp advice Mcintosh or simaudio I don't understand the common Dyn/Sim combo at all. Dreadful analytical sound imo. | |
| Is McIntosh a stepping stone into HI/FI? I think the new 452 and 601s are quite a big step up from prior versions. And build quality is just unmatched that price. | |
| selection of amp to drive DYNAUDIO C1 X250.5 was the best amp, period, that I tried on C1s.For integrateds, BAT beat them all. | |
| Plinius Int 9200 or McIntosh 6600 for Dynaudio C1 in all fairness, I warned you on the 6600. | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... only 9.5 Richard :) | |
| Best Rock Album in 2011 how is the new Bon Iver? seeing all kinds of rave reviews | |
| Converting Coax to AES? Thanks guys--I ordered the Canare first. If that doesn't work, than the Hosa box will replace it. | |
| Notable speakers at THE SHOW June 2011 Bodotes/Robsker- I think the Zu room suffered more from music/bad recordings more than anything. Sean even said that while i entered the room on Sunday. He put on a well recorded track and the system sounded quite decent to me---much better than D... |
