| Upgrade from Levinson 335. Which amps? Preamp is your problem. You need a preamp. The 335 is a very good amp and better than the rest of your gear. Out of all your gear I would sell the 335 last. | |
| Audio Research Ref. 210 questions I can tell you the ARC ref. 210 is a better amp then the Mcintosh 2103. I sold my Mcintosh Mc2103 for the ARC ref 210. I wasn't even close. Mcintosh is to slow and the midrange sounded foggy compared to the Ref 210. The Ref 210 has more dimension ... | |
| HELP B&W 802D or Revel Ultima Salon2 Make sure you listen to the 802D on your own gear before you buy them. If they ever fix the midrange in any of the B&W's they would be a good speaker not a great speaker though. Good highs good lows but the midrange is just awful. | |
| McIntosh MCD500 vs Marantz SA7S1 The reason you like the Mac better is because of the Monitor Audio. The reason I like the Marantz better is because I run Vandersteen 5A. This all makes sense now. | |
| McIntosh MCD500 vs Marantz SA7S1 I have both in my home and I prefer the marantz by a wide margin. The mac seams to mask some things. | |
| Why did you switch from Audio Research Ref 3? Nick778,The VTL is the best of the bunch. Last pick would be Mac 2300 since it is not true balanced. | |
| Questions for Vandersteen 5A owners... Why don't we wait till it come out before we start a new thread. I been hearing about this Model 7 for 3 years now and it keeps getting pushed back each year. | |
| Transporter vs Ayre CX-7e I compared it to other players in my own house. The ONLY way to tell if one player works for you or not is to compare it in your own house on your own gear so you know what your hearing. I also upgraded my speakers, amps and preamp. I had a system... | |
| Transporter vs Ayre CX-7e My esoteric was 3 years old I hope so. Esoteric do not need 1000 hours to break in come on! There is no electronics that need 1000 hours. I wouldn't buy anything that would take about a year to break in. I have owned just about ever piece of manuf... | |
| Transporter vs Ayre CX-7e Yes I have the $500 option on top of very good NOS tubes in it. You can still use the built in volume control but a preamp is a must if your looking for it to sounds it's best. | |
| Transporter vs Ayre CX-7e I have both the transporter stock, Modwright transporter, Ayre C5XE and the Marantz SA7s1. I can send a picture of all of them together if you email me. Stock transporter is good for the money and pretty close to the Ayre. The key to the transport... | |
| Difference between the Wadia 581 and Wadia 581 SE The display will tell you that it is a SE. | |
| Questions for Vandersteen 5A owners... I have been hearing about the Vandersteen 7 for 2 years now. I heard that there was no Vandersteen 7 just a rumor. | |
| Questions for Vandersteen 5A owners... Terry good point! My dealer did have the rear tweeter turned on when I heard both of my demo's. They do that for the shock value I think. | |
| Questions for Vandersteen 5A owners... The 5A's really is an amazing speaker because of what it can do from top to bottom. I get flat response all the way to 17 hz. With any other speaker you would have to spend $75,000 to get that. Being that the speakers are in phase that also can be... |
