| What Interconnects Work Well With McIntosh? I am a Mac man and use Analysis on one Mac system and Alpha Core Purl on another with excellent success from both. Price is good too. | |
| Which crossover should I buy? THE Bryston is a great crossover - I use the 10B version which is balanced - it sells for 1500 or so new - I bought it on Audiogon for 840 after placing a wanted ad.I am not sure the Ashley you are using is why there is no punch - the balanced Bry... | |
| Who can fix electrocompaniet amps Thanks guys - I have contacted the Norway people with equal frustration and as they said they stand by the distributor and dealer whole heartedly - too bad they don't stand by the customer. | |
| What have you been listening to these five weeks? Jennifer Warnes' The Hunter - these songs and her voice are very emotional - the song Big Noise, New York really does it. | |
| Tube amps that can hande 4 ohmsl Mcintosh tube amps will handle any load. | |
| Best Used CD player for under 1 K? The Toshiba unit mentioned above sells new for 650 at onecall.com - the Pioneer PD 65 is a great player and even better transport for upgrading DACS later on - if you can find a Krell 30i on the used market it is really good. | |
| Best Tube Amp for this setup? The Mcintosh 275 or the EAR 534. The Mcintosh will hold its value through the years better than any mentioned so far. | |
| Best DVD/CD Player to buy Just about every dvd player has a digital output - usually several to hook to teh receiver to be decoded into 5.1. | |
| Very good Balanced XLR cable, suggestions? Check out the Goertz Alpha - Core line. | |
| Best DVD/CD Player to buy The Panasonic DVD H 1000 is being upgraded to the 2000 with DVD Audio added - it retails for 2495 but the 1000 is being sold out for 799 via J and R Music World and Sound City. It gives you a great picture and is really solid at amost 40 pounds. A... | |
| How come no one talks of sansui? All those old receivers from the 70's are great to have in some system in the house. The controls - massive power - meters - great tuners - Marantz - Pioneer - Harman Kardon - Sasui - I love going to old shops around the country and seeing them - ... | |
| Help with bi-amping A good quality crossover is the Bryston 10 - it retails in the 1400-1600 range. The Krell is better but a lot more - see if you can borrow a Rane crossover 300-550 from a local music store or rent it if a high end dealer will not loan you an activ... | |
| Help with bi-amping A 100 watt amp is still only a 100 watt amp. In biamping it becomes somewhat like multichannel amps and though the power of the amp is the same - each amp works less than it would to handle all of the speakers in the load that it is presented. | |
| Help with bi-amping I recently biamped my Martin Logan Odysseys using a tube amp on top and solid state on the bottom - I really liked the effect but even more after adding an active crossover - since it allows for better control of gain and frequency separation. | |
| Kora Hermes or EVS Millenium or Audio Note DAC One.1x? Ditto on the above. |
