| Choices narrowed Rogue RP-1 and Primaluna Prologue Premium Preamps Pre amps all sound different and it has the most affect on sound (good or bad) SO its important to get it right, I would listen to at least 3-5 of them in YOUR system before you buy. I have owned the Prima Luna Dialogue pre amp and it sounded very... | |
| what speaker cables would you recommend for KEF speakers matched with Sansui amp & preamp? Cables are nothing more than tone controls for most high end systems AND you already have that with your pre amp. So I would wire the whole system with Kimber Kable. Use 12tc for the speaker wire, and a Hero IC or even a PBJ (very good for the mon... | |
| Just switched from McIntosh C2500/2600 to ARC Ref 6, initial thoughts This is what i have been saying for a long time....Not all McIntosh products are created equal. First off, as far as I'm concerned McIntosh labs builds amplifiers first, everything else is secondary except for a couple of tuners and a a few pre am... | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers Say what you want and name all the names, but in the end,I think we would mostly agree that #1 is Jon Bonham for rock and #1 is Billy Cobham for jazz. These are truly the two best of the best of the best. Matt M | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! Kevin dose not make Prima Luna gear, he is a dist for them. I agree he can be a little abrasive to Deal with (pun intended). I have purchased and used a PL Dialogue pre amp...never had a problem with it, sold it after a year and upgraded to a Manl... | |
| Upgrading Turntable suggestions Learning to set up your own turntable is fun and rewarding. If you let some guru set it up...what fun or how rewarding is that?? Hes REALLY inexpensive too ill bet! ROFL.Matt M | |
| Mc 452 or MC 302 Its still listed because this is there latest circuit Quad balanced. And no there isnt anything coming out to replace it except for the Higher wattage more expensive models (this is my point). Not aware of any New 452’s being sold from MAC, you ca... | |
| Craigslist transaction went south... Cash and carry. Good for you! this guy (tire kicker) needs to realize these things are sold as is no warranty and for $120 good luck finding a lawyer for less than a $1000 too take up his lost cause! You did the right thing collecting the money an... | |
| Upgrading Turntable suggestions The LAST table you’ll ever buy because the way it sounds AND looks! J A Michell Gyro SE... $2750 and Techno Arm $1200... Plus ?? Dyanavector 20x2?? $950. And there it is!! Audio bliss. for 5k. This table/arm hits all the right notes...Build qualit... | |
| Mc 452 or MC 302 It should be the MC452 OR the MC352 (later model double bal), not the 302. So you already know the answer I’m going to give...The MC452 wins! The 302 is not quad balanced (transistor) and is not a special amp to own...the MC452 is! And you can sel... | |
| Speaker recommendation for mc452 and C2600 Seriously though to answer your question...Based on your Classical music tastes I think you should consider some Martin Logan electrostatic speakers like the Classic ESL 9 , or Impression series, your Mac equipment will drive them no problem. Also... | |
| Newest Aqusition, McIntosh MA6600 Integrated I too agree that the MAC is a much bigger improvement over the Parasound. I also purchased my McIntosh MC352 from Mike Sastra at Audio Classics! Awesome people there and a great store to deal with. One thing you will have to get used to is not hav... | |
| Austin Record Convention Less and less good sounding old original records and more re issues and more new digital master vinyls. :-( Matt M | |
| AURALiC Aries price reduction Bottom line is the Aurender Conductor app is far superior to any other app out there, so If I were you I would consider spending a little more for a streamer/server from them. Even though the Aries would be a nice upgrade. Why not do it right the ... | |
| Warm, lush and dark ... Dac up to 1.2K Get a dependable DAC from a reliable company that's not going anywhere, so that in the future you can receive updates, and it should be MQA ready as well. You should demo at least 3-5 of them (there are so many). Good hunting!MAtt M |
