| Tube rolling for C 220 OK listen close...Once you have removed the 2 screws on the sides and the 2 small screws on the back...Your there! Pull the dam lid towards the back of the unit. The reason its so hard to pull off is because they put glue or adhesive or something ... | |
| Suggestions for a CDP that's McIntosh makes 3 SACD/CD players with volume and balanced outs. MCD201,301,500. the 500 is the best one it uses the Saberdac chipset. The 301 has a good transport but dosent sound near as good as the MCD500. | |
| Upgrade from Cambridge Audio 840C to lessen glare? I really think you dont have to spend so much $$ to acieve the results you want. Keep the cambridge as a transport and buy a DAC that has a burr brown chipset, this will sound much better and gives it a warm lush full beautiful sound that is much ... | |
| turntable isolation feet I really Like the Isolation system from mapleshade. It uses 4 Iso blocks and a big 2" thick piece of maple and 3 brass footers. All for around $130. I love this under my REGA. | |
| Best Option In A CD/SACD Player Under $1,500.00 I would look at the REGA cd player its a steal at $999.00 | |
| Tube Preamp Recommendation for W4S ST 1000 I 2nd the MODWRIGHT , LS100, or the 36.5 with the external tube based power supply. These preamps will add incredible detail and a very beautiful tone... especially guitar strings. I use a older SWL 9.0 sig edition. I love the tubes in this thing!... | |
| Oppo BDP-105 vs Mcintosh MVP-891 Slnn3r,Hands down the OPPO-105 will crush the McIntosh for Sound quality and you can even have it Modded for Tube output for around $2,000 from Modwright. The Oppo 105 uses the same Saber Dac chipset that is in the McIntosh CD300 ($6,000). I trust... | |
| Denon DL-103 "one of the...." My bad DL-110 is a Denon..lol. I for one don't like carts that require 2.5 grams of force.And all these modified or R versions of the DL-103 is NOT what the post is about. Bottom line is it uses a horrible shaped diamond (round)and it is only a go... | |
| subwoofer Bass in Systems I never heard the full spectrum of sound until I added a REL Britiania series 10" sub to my Dynaudio Contour 3.0's. There is a lot of low level information that you will never hear with most main speakers. I don't like sub woofers they never seem ... | |
| Denon DL-103 "one of the...." No its not! It is however a good cartridge for the $$. It also is high compliance (25x10)and requires a heavy tonearm to operate correctly. If you dont mate it with the correct arm you will be very disappointed.Look at another cartridge like a Ort... | |
| 3 speaker cable options - what to choose? I highly recommend Morrow Audio SP5....I have reffered about 5 people to Morrow Audio and they all love these cables...pay for the break in ..its worth it. | |
| Balanced Cables for McIntosh / Wadia Check out Morrow Audio Cables ,you wont be sorry. Also, Nordost- frey or tyre,Kimber Kable- Silver,hero. These are all accurate, dynamic cables that are also lightning fast.Very non colored sound from these. | |
| Best cables for B&W 802Diamond L100,Your system is pretty warm already so I would stick to cables that wont add to that. Nordost would be good. Morrow Audio Cables are fantastic.Stay away from cables with boxes on them.Kimber Kable 12tc is excellent also. I hope this helps. | |
| MSB vs Wadia vs Reymo vs Meitner I recommend the MSB. Best bang for the buck IMO. | |
| How about Mac and Accuphase You have to be careful when buying Mac gear, many of their units dont sound that great. McIntosh makes a great tube amp the MC275 and the solid state MC352,two great sounding and wonderfully designed amps. They made a few Preamps that sound great ... |
