| Yamaha A-S1100 vs Mctntosh vintge I would say, choosing a better preamp would really make those Dyns "wake up" in the midrange now that I know what speakers you have. Those Dynaudio speakers are awesome! I would pair the MAC with a Modwright SWL 9.0 or a DOGE 8 Clarity or a Dehavi... | |
| Yamaha A-S1100 vs Mctntosh vintge Hey can I ask what speakers you would use with the MAC? Also, for $1100 your not going to be able to touch the both quality or the warm natural sound of the MC2105 imo. Most of todays electronics are expensive or cheap (or both). Putting together ... | |
| What does moving from a 150 watt amp to a 400 watt amp get you? Everything sounds better at lower volume levels when you have lots of good clean power. The sound tends to get better when you drive them up to around 35watts then things really open up, improvements in tightness, control, speed, are usually notic... | |
| Sub-Woofer? No outboard supply for sub is needed. all you need is a good power cord and the spkon cable and your good. Also, Id rather have a beat up old REL then a SV sub. ??? not even close.Matt | |
| Sub-Woofer? Wonderful! you will not be disappointed as long as you are connecting with the Spkon cable coming off the main amps outputs (same as main speakers). Upgrading the Spkon cable to one from Signalcable I highly advise as well. Love the system btw :-)... | |
| ESOTERIC K-07X VS Mcintosh MCD 550 Which is better ? The MAC MCD 301 is not even close to the MCD 550! These units are completely different, the 550 has dacs from ESS and is a MUCH better sounding player. The McIntosh MCD201 and 301 are entry level players that sound pedestrian. Matt M | |
| Ayre C-5XE MP, Simaudio Moon Andromeda, or Esoteric K-01X I would seriously look at buying a Oppo 105 or 205 universal player, then add a music server like an Aurender, this would make for a future proof system where by you can burn all your CD’s /SACD’s to the Aurender then access and organize it all wi... | |
| benefits of a phono preamp for me? The main advantage you gain is that you will be able to use LOMC cartridges. Other than that, I like the idea of getting away from the "plug In card" that’s inside the 99, and getting a proper external unit. Love your system, keep in mind that the... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? In response too your mention of Robin Trower, have you heard the albums he did with Jack Bruce from Cream?? B.L.T. is one of the titles I highly suggest you check out!! Awesome vocals with Robins licks! Matt M | |
| Phono Stage for KEF LS50 Wireless. Ideas? Recommendations? Hi pupil, You have to use a phono preamp to bring the signal up to line level when your using the RCA inputs on the LS50W. The owners manual states this as well. So, any phono pre amp will work. One of the phono pre amps you mention should work be... | |
| Emotiva T1 Towers - Audiophile Quality or Just Home Theatre Towers? I 2nd stereo5's comments. Matt | |
| speakers with balls Look no further than Dynaudio my friend!! These speakers love to be turned up loudly and rock music is especially dynamic and with punch! Also incredible midrange (3" voice coils) and the best highs. They also like power (which you seem to have lo... | |
| ESOTERIC K-07X VS Mcintosh MCD 550 Which is better ? Better? No not better Different is the word, typically the Esoteric sounds very fast, cool, articulate and dynamic very "digital" sounding. The Mac will sound warm, beautiful, very musical with proper tone, and dynamic and a more analogue type sou... | |
| Having a problem when HVAC system turns on and cuts my system off! I still say your not isolating anything unless you get rid of the USB and go Optical from the computer. All these isolation devices dont help. Matt |
