| I have seen some Interesting comments about Mcintosh lately Having owned a MC402 I found McIntosh to have the absolute worst customer service in the industry and would never ever buy another! | |
| Rel Strata III versus Rel Britannia B3 Ive owned both and currently run a T7 Rel...IMO the Strata3 is easier to setup and run.The B3 seemed to me to be slower in responce.I ran both with Dynaudio,Focal.Having said that the new series is much better,much better IMO | |
| mcintosh mc601 vs plinius reference vs pass xa100.8 Having owned all three makers running into C4s Id say the Mcintosh is the worst match of the three.Mac is way too tubby and slow for those speakers..Either Pass or Plinius would be a big step up,IMO,I run Plinius right now. | |
| Aerial 7T to Dynaudio C2 Dont do it,,hows that?..The C2s are what Ive always referred to as the ugly step child and sales have reflected that over the years.If you cant afford the C4 line then C1s with a good sub would be my choice without even thinking...but having said ... | |
| Upgrading receiver: Got a pair of Dynaudio Sapphires+NAD C740 Id suggest you save your money and up your budget and get something worthy of the Dyns | |
| naim vs ayre Plinius/Pass labs would be a good choice..more power the better they sound IMO .I would agree with above posters that the Ayre wouldnt do it | |
| Upgrading receiver: Got a pair of Dynaudio Sapphires+NAD C740 Well, the C1a are certainly not the Saphires so Id take that comparison or any talk concerning them with your situation with a grain of salt.Actually more like the Contour 5 series or a sibling to the C2s.Solid state power and lots of it is the on... | |
| Pass INT-30A with Acoustic Zen Adagio I had a Pass x250.5 and a 150.5 amp a few years ago,Focal Utopias,Dynaudio C4 and then Raidho C3s at that time as well..The best combo was with the C4s with the Pass stuff .I wound up with a Plinius amp running the C4s which I really liked if I r... | |
| Pass INT-30A with Acoustic Zen Adagio "rather analytical"... This is exactly my impressions of this integrated with various speakers .I owned Pass in the past and got away from their line ,way too pricey for what I heard coming out,just my opinion.Im sure you can find something to pa... | |
| Clayton Audio - Alive and very well "and each and every amplifier is hand built by him"... ...Maybe a cool thing to own an amp made this way but I don't think Id drop $5500/$8500 ++++ on a product with no customer support if and when this one individual retires or....just me, but I ... | |
| Ayon's "Scorpio" tube imtegrated amp vs PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium tube integrated??. Keep in mind that the Scorpio will be upgraded in a couple months ....and your integrated dumps in value.Besides I own Primaluna in a second system and if your buying Chinese ..Primaluna | |
| You read a lot about D'Agostino nowadays but little about Krell I think its the quality control..my buddy who is manager of a higher end shop dumped the line due to way too many returns/repairs.Cant make money if it keeps coming back | |
| How many use Vintage Hi-Fi systems? I have lots of vintage gear,mainly because it just holds it value or appreciates if you buy the right stuff...but none of it sounds as good as modern stuff IMO | |
| Why does a Sony PlayStation sound good to me? Send me your adress through private email and I'll get you the shipping cost.. In have no use for it and lsdt time I checked eBay they weren't worth listing with the fees they collect...I'm using at present an esoteric but I've owned a few and I a... | |
| Why does a Sony PlayStation sound good to me? I've had a few...junk IMO..if you think this is digital you havent heard a great system..if you pay for shipping I'll send you mine . |
