| Lamm Pre to McIntosh Amp IMO I have to agree with Mtdking..I dont think the impedence matches well Lamm/McIntosh.Plus the Lamm pre amps Ive heard had that famous HISSSSSS. | |
| best pre -amp under 4000$ Maverick...Tvad is right on,follow his advise..the man knows audio!!! | |
| Dynaudio C1 vs C2 IMO, Xti16 is right on spot..I own C4s and have heard the C1 vs C2.I really didnt care for the sapphire compared to the confidence line,again just my personal opinion.It seems the C1 is easier(watching ads on this forum) to sell as more prefer the... | |
| Levinson 333 Upgrad to 436 Monoblock IMO ,I agree with Cpk the 436 is a better sounding amp..My question is have you ever considered moving away from Levinson as there are much better gear out there with better build quality,performance and service.Just a thought. | |
| Pass X150.5 and Magnapan 1.6 speakers I agree with Philefreak..Ive owned both and there is a ton of difference..well worth the extra $$$ | |
| The best amp for $2k tube, solid state or hybrid IMO ,of the gear on your short list..Butler TBD 2250, Mark Levinson 27.5, Quicksilver V4, Rouge Audio M150, Llano Designs Trinity, Pass Labs X250....I would check out the Quicksilver monos..I would definately pass on the Levinson and the Pass 250 ... | |

IMO, the quetion is not why would you want speakers that reveal whats really going on in the recording..The question is why wouldnt you???..I mean the whole idea of listening to recorded music is to reproduce a "you are there experience"..and that... | |
| VAC owners, sound off I had a VAC amp back in the 1990s and loved it..never had an issue..I would suggest if buying a9 year old amp ,have the seller agree to a grace period giving you a couple weeks or so and have it checked out..or have him service it before sending c... | |
| Which would you pick between these 2 and why? Given the very short list..McCormack,its more musical | |
| McIntosh MC402 . Too Bridge or not too Bridge ?? IMO I agree w/Usblues..upgrade to the 502s | |
| AC/DC Black ice I agree w/Maril555 ..Great new album by AC/DC..Metalica is done and has been for years,actually I stopped listening to them when they publically fought the folks at Napster claiming they were lossing $$millions,that drummer sucks!!! | |
