| Advice on a preamp " Great question. A cleaner more detailed sound, better bass control, more refined treble and improved soundstage. An all around more 'live' or natural sound. I did originally have an Opera 100w tube amp but felt it was lacking in power and a bit ... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 I don't think you guys ever dealt with systems that use very efficient speakers. If you have, you were extremely lucky, or had someone who knows what they are doing help. Let's say the OP buys one of the amps, gets the new speakers and uses his Ma... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 "The marantz is not a receiver/AV so to speak, but a pre. None the less, if has tons of video signal components, and will be replaced. Now as far as the sensitive cornwalls.. The most unbearable in this chain would be SS components in concern with... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 You may want to rethink this. When you start in with speakers that efficient, you need to know what you're doing. Reviews are really no way to make a decision. Also, using a HT receiver as a preamp and phono stage is a really bad idea. While you a... | |

| Can I convert stereo to mono for a phono input If you used a stereo test signal that is identical for both channels, wouldn't that be the same as a mono signal? | |
| Wilson Audio MAXX 1 VS Wilson Audio Alexandria X2-1 I would listen to them first. | |
| Shopping for new speakers " If you like B&W, you would probably like Vandersteen's, and your amps would certainly be able to drive a pair of 3a sigs which are well below $3K used."How did you come up with that? After owning multiple pairs of speakers from both compani... | |
| DAC for CD transport "Currently using Roksan kandy K3, like the sound, has plenty of air between instruments, extended treble and taut bass, vocals are good.Previously used Audiolab 8200CD, had denser sound, lacking in instruments separation. Heard Marantz cd-8005 dur... | |
