| If I'm looking for "Tube Sound", why would I put a Tube Pre in front of a SS amp? Having a fantastic tubed front end is the way to go if you like to spin vinyl and your speakers are a bit on the not sensitive side or not tube friendly. This is the way you inject that awesome tube sound without using a tube amplifier :-)Matt M | |
| Advice for Speakers to mate with McCormack DNA .5 Hands down a pair of Totem Acoustic Model One Signature Edition, on some great stands. The McCormack will drive them beautifully! If you want to pay more then look at a pair of Dynaudio Special twenty fives or Contour 1.3 would be awesome as well.... | |
| Looking for SACD player............ SO to be clear none of you are going with the $1200 Oppo 105, with ESS saber Dacs and audiophile grade outputs with XLR connections and is rated among units that cost thousands more in the latest class A recommendation from Stereophile? OK. I ... | |
| Looking for a solid state preamp for Krell fpb 250m monoblocks I recommend a tube preamp as well, I think if your not careful you could be adding a lot of coolness and edginess to your system. A tube based pre would add much needed warmth and the Modwright is a good choice but I would also check out a Manley ... | |
| Rega Saturn-R Question When using it as a transport you are bypassing the DAC and any functions it might have. Matt | |
| Recommed a medium sized monitors that can go loud I would highly recommend Dynaudio for anyone looking to play loud rock music. You will not be disappointed at the high volumes you can achieve either :-) They need lots of power for this. They open up when given good clean power. Also, they make ... | |
| Would you go all 1 brand for electronics? Well If I was on a desert island and had to pick one, it would be McIntosh. They make everything one could ever need, and they are adequate for any reasonable demand, like a Rolls Royce! Built like one too.Matt M | |
| The most transparent speaker cable Hear it is in order... Nordost, Morrow Audio, Kimber, Audio Quest, are the most invisible I have listened to. And I have heard the MIT's, Transparent, Cardas, Analysis Plus. didn't care for them much. | |
| Manley Chinook....power cord and interconnect recommendations.... Morrow Audio is what I use for IC’s and they are incredible! MA3’s or better. Pay for the 5 day burn in and after 100 more hours they really open up and they are magic. The Chinook is a fairly lightweight unit so big, heavy, stiff, power cord is m... | |
| Marantz TT15S1 Turntable. Any opinions 1500.00 Budget. Recommendations Find a REGA RP3 and put a Dynavector 10X5 on it!! That is a lot of jump factor my friend for $1500 or very near...good luck.Matt M | |
| Auralic or arender? Without a doubt! Upgrading to a Aurender music player would be the awesome choice and its the best sounding, imo. (all their units are special in this way) Also, Aurender makes a lot of different products, some with DAC’s some without, some have h... | |
| Looking for my first tube amplifier, help appreciated. Look at Modwright, Balanced Audio Technologies, Audio Research, McIntosh for XLR (big bucks)...IMO, I would dump the whole idea of going balanced with tube gear because a lot of the best sounding stuff does not provide balanced connections! Also,... | |
| Which cartridge should I upgrade to now? I would not replace a Shelter 501 with a Denon 103 AND the 103 is not a good cartridge for that light to med weight tone arm. A much better choice would be a Dynavector 10X5 MC (2.5mv) for that arm, IMO. Lots of jump factor with this cartridge, yo... | |
| Stand mount choice I 2nd the Dynaudio!! If you have the power, go for it!! They are very well built and will last you a very long time. Matt M |
