| Highend tube preamp w/no headphone jack - help I wanna get a pair of phones Hey great choice on the Dehavilland, I almost purchased one myself a few years back, went with a Manley Labs instead. If you plug your output into a headphone amplifier, you will have to play with 2 volume controls and its not an optimal situation... | |
| Svs, Rel, or ?. Dont buy the REL unless you can hook it up with high level inputs from a amplifiers outputs. Go with the SVS :-) | |
| Lyra Delos or Hana ML Dont put a wood body cartridge on the REGA RB2000 Arm, I would go with the Lyra or a comparable Dynavector, and if you want warm and lush , hopefully you are using tubes somewhere in the system to provide that. Matt M | |
| Mixing Transparent Cables I would get rid of any cables with boxes on them in favor of some that don't, you might just realize a whole new world! Matt M | |
| 3.5mm to RCA cables. Can I do better for $50 than AudioQuest Evergreen? Morrow Audio makes all kinds of special cables and they are awesome to work with, I use the MA3's for my Interconnects and I love them, my system sounds like it has no cables! thats what your really looking for in a cable ...It disappears. ... | |
| Belden 9497 as RCA Cable?! Cables are tone controls, what are you trying to do? Make the system more bright or less bright? More low end punch? Or do you just want a great sounding even sounding cable? This is why they make so many different types of cables they all sound ... | |
| Need help choosing Sonus Faber Sonetto V or VIII, what amp? Go with the MAC amp and use Kimber cables, or Morrow Audio cables as these will work best at not being BRIGHT. Also, The Sonus farbers are easy to drive ,you dont need anything exotic to drive them and the McIntosh will last forever. Matt M | |
| Need parts for vintage McIntosh 2205 Im sure Audio Classics can find you a plastic frame that will complete your restoration. What I would be more concerned about is do you have a original box? Audio classics can help with that as well. That is one hell of a nice amplifier you have d... | |
| Cartridge leads? Thanks all, I was able to connect things up and it sounds correct and sounds wonderful. | |
| Questions about Mcintosh tube amp pairing with Altecs McIntosh makes a ton of products, many of them are very pedestrian sounding (not special). The McIntosh MC275 is NOT one of these products. Buy confidently as this is really one of there more special amplifiers. Matt M | |
| Grado Reference Sonata Thanks Man! | |
| McIntosh- Sweetest, Smoothest sounding Solid State ? It depends on which McIntosh amp. Not all of their amps are created equal. In fact McIntosh makes a ton of stuff I would never buy, having said that I have been a loyal fan of their amplifiers for many years. My system changes from time to time bu... | |
| Rotel Rcd-1572 Generally they are all made of plastic and are pretty much junk! Only a very few players offer aluminum or metal in the tray and mechanics, this is why if I were purchasing a CD player to use as a transport I would pick a top loading machine and d... | |
| interconnects between Oppo & Monolith Desktop Balanced Headphone Amplifier and DAC There should be 2 XLR inputs on your amplifier for it to work, Oppo has 2 XLR outputs for dedicated stereo output, this is a ANALOG signal, you might be looking at a digital output. MAtt | |
