| Amps and integrateds w/ similar sonic sig to MC275 Thanks for the responses. I agree that I will probably start with the speaker, but some preliminary research on the am makes a lot of sense to me as well. I'm not buying tomorrow...I have to say that I'm not ha big fan of the McIntosh house sound ... | |
| Cary SLP-2002 or SLP-03? Correction... a pair of Aerial 10T's. I had Hales before the most recent move. Funny slip of the mind there. | |
| Cary SLP-2002 or SLP-03? I should have mentioned that I am running a MC275 amp into a pair of Hales 10T's.Those speakers have some serious base authority when mounted on a concrete floor. I'd really like to run balanced into the amp if I can. It appears to produce a much ... | |
| Good usedpreamp recommendations up to $1500 or so? Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I'm going to do some research on the preamps recommended and go from there.If anyone wants to add anything, I'll be monitoring this thread for a while.---Michael | |
| Good usedpreamp recommendations up to $1500 or so? Pescolar,The Cary and AR don't have balanced outputs unless I am mistaken? I don't think Cary made a pre with balanced outputs until the most recent one. I think I'd be all over the Cary if it had balanced outputs.Tvad,I'm with you here. What do y... | |
| tube integrated amp recommendations? Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'll look into all of these a bit and see what I can come up with. It looks like there are a bunch of viable options to consider. | |
| tube integrated amp recommendations? Grinnell,Thanks for the feedback. Maybe I don't need a remote...I didn't realize it would take all those tubes. I'll have to look at that one a little more closely.Comparing the PL2 with a similar Jolida or Cayin... can you comment on the sound qu... | |
| Cary 303/300 vs. 306/200? Art,Art,OK, thanks, I'll check out the posts over there. I've read a lot of posts about the 303/300, and it seems there are a number of people who like the SS output better, which comes as a suprise to me.Going for a 308T might be a great option. ... | |
| Cary 303/300 vs. 306/200? Art,My searches on this forum did not show many (if any) threads that compared the sonic characteristics of the two units. I'll look over at AA, but I have found that there's a lot of useless conversation over there to wade through, so I generally... | |
| Stable Platter Transports Thanks for the responses everyone.I am going to do some research and see if I can find an EAD Ultradisk 2000 T, which is the transport-only version of the U-2000.If anyone else has any comments, please feel free to ad them, I'll watch this thread ... | |
| AMPS: PM2000 or Pass X5 or ? Quin,Thanks for the comments! That is the kind of characterizations that are very useful to me. I think I am probably going to get an X-150 for front left and right, and use the Powermaster 1000 for the center, and rear. This will give me the adde... | |
| AMPS: PM2000 or Pass X5 or ? Let me follow up on the initial query, and respond to the comments that 'Avdcreations' and 'lotusmd50' have posted.I believe the PM1000 is the newer version, but I have a call into the factory to confirm that. It has the older faceplate, but I was... | |
| best sub- 1000 Transport, new or used Thanks for the comments, folks.Based on your suggestions, I am going to make a very careful listen to the TVP-Sig combo before I decide to make a CD transport purchase. Then, if I am unhappy with it's CD playback, I'll start by listening to the Ai... |
