| McIntosh 275 v. 6 vs. EAR 890 Thanks for your reply! I was just wondering about the comparison because a local dealer has the new McIntosh 275 version for sale, you guys know how this hobby goes. | |
| Which preamp is better C50 or C2500 for MC402? Thanks russe41, was also thinking of the Audible Illusions 3A, some say it is also top notch if I decide to go out of the McIntosh circle. | |
| Which preamp is better C50 or C2500 for MC402? I know this is an old discussion but I’m actually facing the same dilema as vinny8888 at this moment. Want to buy a good preamplifier and stay with McIntosh and my 402 but do not know if I want to go the tube (c2300) route or (c50), - not able to ... | |
| AZ Adagio vs Crescendo? I'm just stating one of the most palpable differences, I heard both of them side by side, and the bass and wholeness of the bigger Crescendos was immediate, on the same recordings, but let other people in maybe they have a different take on this. | |
| AZ Adagio vs Crescendo? One of the most important differences is the bass, if you like plenty of bass, you should think of Adagios plus subwoofer. I think it boils down to the music you listen to, for me it's classic rock and jazz, and with the Adagios everything was gre... | |
| Cary SLP 03 Owners Tube Rolling Ideas I want to express my experience: Changed the stock EH for 4 vintage Haltron's and it was a different preamplifier, the bass got ideal and detail was much better, a 35% upgrade just with the change of tubes. So indeed try different tubes before upg... | |
| Which amp would be ideal? I have a very similar setup: we use the same Esoteric and Cary Preamplifier and I use them with a Krell 250a and I'm very happy - GoldenEar Speakers -. Curiously I also listen to classic rock, like 70% of my music is classic rock and some jazz. On... | |
| Tube vs. SS Dilemma I just want to give an update for everybody who gave me sincere and patient advice on my dilemma, for me it is a dilemma, maybe for others it is a moot point, I already mentioned the reasons why.But the thing is that I did some tube rolling in my ... | |
| Tube vs. SS Dilemma Thanks Zd542 it looks like we are all in agreement here, that is also good. | |
| Tube vs. SS Dilemma I agree with Vhiner, maybe a should cool down a bit and enjoy this SS setup that I encountered almost by accident and one that had me playing music for days and days, the "tapping toes effect" indeed, and down the road answer those questions you a... | |
| Tube vs. SS Dilemma Let me take a different tack considering the comments on the GoldenEar speaker specs and the need to attend the power amp and speaker combination.What would be a good speaker to consider if I'm using the Krell 250a and the Mark Levinson 380 preamp... | |
| Tube vs. SS Dilemma And Mechans, thanks, let me do some more listening with the Cary SLP 03 Preamp. and the Krell combo., since many people favor the Tube Pre/SS Amp. I might have disregarded this option too quickly. After doing some more listening I may have a bette... | |
| Tube vs. SS Dilemma I have been vigilant on the various comments and enjoy reading them all. Several things I should address: Thanks for the tube preamp recommendations, wrote them down for future upgrades, if I found myself missing the tubes. On the other hand, Larr... | |
| Tube vs. SS Dilemma Again thanks for your comments, all of them. To answer Jond's and Phd's question: Yes - in a quite desperate attempt to cling to some tubes in my system, I was getting really nervious at this point (phono stage does not enter the negotiation, love... | |
| Tube vs. SS Dilemma Thanks Atmasphere! Speakers are GoldenEar Triton 2's and I did and a/b/c/d comparison, i.e., played with different combos with another set of Paradigm Studio 60. But with the GoldenEar's the tube setup was not as detailed and clean - I need a bett... |
