| Digital source cords I think a dedicated digital source cable looks a lot nicer than a stock power cord. I like signal cable http://www.signalcable.com/Some people may think they are just regular cables that look good, but I think they are really good cables that look... | |
| Aftermarket power cords for McIntosh amps/preamps I agree, I could never figure out why you would spend $2000 on a few feet of power cord when the next 100 or so feet to the breaker panel is romex at about a 1.00 a foot.I went with the signalcable becuse I wanted to match the 10 gage wire (romex)... | |
| Aftermarket power cords for McIntosh amps/preamps If you are looking for fairly inexpensive (59.00 for 3 feet and 4.00 each extra foot.)http://www.signalcable.com/The Power cables are pretty nice 10gage wire. I have a 10ft one on my MC352 and I do notice a big difference compaired to the stock on... | |
| Playing with the idea of solid state amps I have to say McIntosh Solid State amps are so good you may wonder if there are tubes in the box. Take a listen when you get a chance.Mark | |
| Upgrade pre-amp to C2200 or speakers? You have a very nice setup. I guess that is a hard question when we don't know why you feel you want to upgrade. If you are going 2 channel only then I guess you don't need the nice MHT200 but If you have a multi-use A/V system then you may need t... | |
| McIntosh C-1000 pre-amp I saw the C1000 at CES last January. It is an incredable preamp. You can use it as ether tube or solid state if you buy both units. I think a lot of people are going to buy one or the other. I think the control unit will be 8k and each of the othe... | |
| Anyone have experience with "Signal Cable" Cables? I am really happy with them also. I have a 10ft MagicPower cord for my amp, some 3ft MagicPower Digital Reference cables for my digital stuff and a 15ft pair of the premium XLR balanced cables from my DAC to the amp. If I had to buy an expensive p... | |
| 4 must have hours of baby boomer music? Hi Stanhifi,I did all that when I was a teen into heavy metal, The really cool thing about the 70's is that there is more music than at any other time, I just keep finding these niches in the the 70's music that I have yet to enjoy. I am a total 7... | |
| 4 must have hours of baby boomer music? Sorry Palasr,One time I had a late night party and we ended up playing the this stuff tell late into the night, singing along and playing them over and over. The people at that party some 7 years ago still talk about what a great night that was, l... | |

| Cary SLP-98L Clio09,The Cary SPL-05 is 8000.00 I don't think it comes in a linestage only. If only the phono stage would shutdown if it is not in use like the MC2200 does. Yeah listen to it when you get a chance and let me know what you think.Markhttp://www.ev... | |
| Cary SLP-98L I love the Cary SLP2005, I heard it at CES in Jan, It is a really nice Preamp. If and when I can get into tubes I am getting it along with the CAD211's. I like keeping most of the equipment under the same company. Things seem to "fit" together nic... | |
| What is the best hard drive based player? McIntosh just came out with the MS300, I guess people can't here the difference between it and CD's and from what I hear is very easy to use. you can see it at www.mcintoshlabs.comMark | |
| The most emotional amp out there? In my opinion the Cary CAD-211 (15k/Pair) is the most emotional to my ears but every person is different. I first heard them at CES 2005 with the Cary SLP2005, Cary tube CD player and a pair of Cary speakers. I went back 5 times and finaly had to ... | |
| What is needed to have the best CD/Digital sound? I think having a seperate transport and DAC. Each built to the highest quality standards available.The Transport is very important in getting the data off of the disk and getting into an electrical form. vibration control, really good lasers, powe... |
