| Recent cd players w/ analog output/volume control Also, The McIntosh Players DO NOT sound artifical or digitally amped up. In fact they sound warm and quite analog sounding ..very easy to listen to loud for long periods. Not that I'm a Mac rep or anything its just the way they sound. | |
| Recent cd players w/ analog output/volume control No Oppo player that I know of has variable out. let alone a volume knob. Maybe, it might be easier to find a Passive volume control unit. You could use a headphone amp with a passive input for volume control. | |
| Recent cd players w/ analog output/volume control All McIntosh saCD/CD players have vaiable output with volume control. You can find them used ..maybe a mcd201 for around 1500 or so. And these players are made to drive your amp directly. They have RCA and XLR for FIxed and variable output. | |
| Need help with a Tube PREAMP. I don't know if a SET preamp is going to mate with the solid state amp I have. Any other suggestions? Or has anyone used a combination of tube pre and SS amp? | |

| Entire system cable recommendation I agree, used cables are great! For your system I would look into Kimber,Nordost,Morrow Audio. Stay away from cables that use network Boxes of any kind, It dosen't matter how expensive. Cables should be uncolored,transparent. A good cable allows y... | |
| Gruv Glide - Do you use it? Sounds like Petro went a little too far with the Gruv glide....AND it helps to use a stylus CLEANER with this product...I experience excellent results using the award winning Gruv glide product.I treat my records only after wet washing them first ... | |
| Raidho D1/C1.1 vs Dynaudio C1 vs Magico Q1 The Dynaudio's will mate very well with the 956 mkII. Stands,of course will be of high quality for these C1's, that adds to the cost. Dynaudio speakers love power! I drive some Contour 3.0's (circa 1998) they are rated at 200w. With my McIntosh so... | |

| What is the best subwoofer you have ever heard? And IF any one post that SUBS are meant to be felt not heard is full of %$#@! because you have never heard a great sub then. | |
| What is the best subwoofer you have ever heard? I listen to music with my REL Britania series NOT helicopters and explosions, so my views are reflective of my 2 channel audio exp. The REL studio series are not good musical subs.They are meant for HT. I like a sub that has the woofer facing you ... | |

The REL is very fast indeed and accurate.The REL allows my main speakers to be faster! And Its my... | |
| Do Slot loading Transports have sonic Advantages No they don't, most transports are made of plastic, and some cheesy plastic clamping system. If you want a good transport system you have to search for well made ones ...Like the Esoteric Verdes Neo drive is an example of how good a transport can ... |
