Anyone have experience with the new Acurus gear?
I don't see much about these products. I wonder if these are preproduction pieces on there web and not available yet? For example, the info on their Act 4 has pretty generic specs. Unless they get good distribution prices may be too high for their...

Maverick Audio TubeMagic D2 DAC

Maverick Audio TubeMagic D2 DAC
When I saw this post I got excited, but the only thing that makes a Grant Fidelity DAC more useful for me would be the analogue input. I then would be able to eliminate the use of a preamp and use it direct to my tube power amp and still add anoth...

Colorfullpellets,This is very cool. I as well live in Huntersville and would like to get together for a listening session or two. Not to worry about a modest system, all systems can be a pleasure to enjoy and worth gathering over some good music. ...

Yamaha RXA1010 AV rec drive 4ohm speakers ?
This is true, but my Yamaha claims 4 ohm compatibility. The 6 ohm setting is just a label for their feature that limits the power amp sections performance. I'm running 88 db ,4 ohms speakers w/o issue. 
Yamaha RXA1010 AV rec drive 4ohm speakers ?
I've read that Yamaha is good w/ 4 ohm speakers. I have a little older RX-V659 (100w x 7) that does fine with 4 ohm speakers. There is a setting in the amp with an 8 ohm or 6 ohm setting (for 4 ohm speakers). But, I read a comprehensive review tha...

McIntosh C48 and C50 owners-how good is the DAC?
Allen_bh,Now that you have had your c48 for more than a 6 weeks, has it broken in nicely and the sound smoothed out. Mac takes a while to break in. 
Which Amp to Choose McIntosh MC7200 or MC275-V?
If you are thinking of a Mac 275 or a SS Mac amp, get a SS amp with autoformers, not the 7200 without. Consider a 7150, 150, 202, etc. 
Oldest Mcintosh Pre with remote
The 1991 c37 is vintage, maybe not the oldest, and is a step up in sound from their earlier models. I love mine, but I'm missing the HR37 remote, and they are hard to find, so if you buy a vintage Mac make sure it includes the remote.
