| Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark Hmmm. Saw this thread and realize no-one has posted since the origin of manufacture became a main focal point here. I looked at one of my systems recently and without regard to place manufacture, I realized the following: American made doesn't me... | |

| Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life? This is definitely a fun thread. I've owned many pairs off speakers, but the game changer for me was when I spent the ungodly sum of $1,200 per pair for DCM Time Windows in 1980 (the equivalent of $4,500.00 today!) and they opened my ears to spati... | |

| Yamaha A-S2100 vs Technics SU-G700 Just heard the Technics SU-G700MK2 with B & W 703 S2s and I have to say I don't hear a discernible difference between it and the SU-G700. I think the improved power supply and the MC phono stage are nice accoutremonts, but I see no reason to u... | |
| Best Home Office HiFi Systems Under $10,000 and $20,000.00 I was using "The Absolute Sound's" editors choice wherein they started at about $15,000.You will note that I also recommended a below $10,000 system also. I used new prices because used/pre-owned equipment varies in price, from Audiogon to US Audi... | |
| Help! Buy McIntosh MA252? I recently replaced my aging yet venerable MA6500 with this new Mcintosh MA252 Hybrid. I also spent an additional $240 for the Golden Lion Russian Tubes (platinum /gold pins) and the sound really stepped up. The solid state amp is simply a newer c... | |
| Integrated Amp or Receiver suggestion for Prestige 95Fs The McIntosh ma252 has a dedicated Class AB amplifier coupled to a Tube based Pre-Amplifier section. It is a hybrid, but it is all classic McIntosh. In fact, in bench testing it hits 200+ watts at 8ohms and is almost 320 watts per channel 4 ohms. ... |
