| Mcintosh C1000T users opinions Interesting about the reference 2. I'm going stay with the Reference Phono I have because it really does not lack anything anywhere. Would be nice to see a comparison though. | |
| Mcintosh C1000T users opinions I A/B'd the phono section on the C1000T VS the ARC Reference Phono and although the phono section of the C1000T is in another league compared to the C2200 it is not up to the standards of the ARC Reference Phono Preamp. The ARC is quiter and more ... | |
| Mono VS Stereo Interesting. Have you experienced the "Breath of life" mod yourself? What exactly is it supposed to do? Good advice, perhaps I should keep the system constant for a while. As I say, let me know if you have experienced the breath of life or any oth... | |
| Mono VS Stereo Well I started listening in stereo as opposed to mono and the results have been very interesting. For some reason I prefer stereo, yes I have changed my mind. Perhaps taking a break from stereo listening for years has made me appreciate it alot mo... | |
| Over the top Right brain left brain right brain left brain right brain left brain......Wow! It's like brains in stereo. The RIGHT thing to do in any given situation is usually the most difficult. It's not by any chance that I always do the EASY thing, it also ... | |
| Size matters Smaller that is Johnnyb53 I could not have said it better myself. Thank you for all the great info and explaining in no uncertain terms what the charm of the Guarneri is. Now that my Guarneri are being driven by my new amps and preamp (Mcintosh MC2301's & Mci... | |
| Anyone heard about the new Mcintosh MC2301's? Hooked up the MC2301's with my Mcintosh C1000T preamp last night, speakers are Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage. The new stuff replaces a Mcintosh MC2102 amp and Mcintosh C2200 preamp, no comparison. The 2301's are breathtaking in the performance they ... | |
| Size matters Smaller that is I know what you mean about "Move some air to get it done right". In my case to get it done right I prefer a nice glass of Amarone to accompany the music (ha ha). I think in the end there is probably no absolute solution to obtaining the best hi fi... | |
| Over the top Well I hooked up my new Mcintosh MC2301's and my Mcintosh C1000T preamp last night. There are no words to describe the quantum leap in performance as compared to the Mcintosh MC2102 and the Mcintosh C2200 preamp. Dynamics, resolution, seperation, ... | |
| Mcintosh C1000T users opinions I have a pair of the original Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage and I am very happy with them. I listened to a pair of the new Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario model driven by a pair of 2k Mcintosh monoblocs, very nice but not like my Guarneri. There is s... | |
| Anyone heard about the new Mcintosh MC2301's? I should be getting my MC 2301's later this week (FedEx delivering) I am getting jittery just thinking about the arrival of these gorgeous amp. I will be running them along with the Mcintosh C1000T preamp, speakers are Sonus Faber Guarneri. I will... | |
| Over the top All good info Duane. There is no doubt that a high quality sub and some know how and patience can really dial a sub in well to a given room's sound characteristics. Most of my listening is built around great vocals (Like opera etc..) so subs are n... | |
| Over the top Anything that is going to mess up the mids in my system is out. All else besides the mids are just extensions in my book. I found the same thing when I tried a sub, more bottom end but at the expense of the magic of the mids. I'm not saying it can... | |
| Mono VS Stereo Hoestly, I have never listened to a speaker that I have liked as much as the Guarneri. I would advise anyone who is seriously considering any of the Sonus Faber speakers to make arrangements more a very lengthy audition of all the speakers your co... | |
| Mono VS Stereo Don't you just love it when you make a perfect espresso! You put the sugar on top and it takes almost 30 seconds before it gets through the creamy top and sinks to the bottom of the cup. That is how the Guarneri make me feel and I agree they are a... |
