| Best Sounding Recording A.I.C. Unplugged is a great live recording. | |
| Channel Islands VDA-1 vs VDA-2 vs MSB Link III I love my VDA 2/ VAC 1 combo, it's the best sounding source component I've ever owned. I've owned several decent players, 2 Audio Alchemy dacs, and a CAL Alpha. The VDA 2 beats them all. I'm using a Sony DVP 9000ES as the transport which in it's o... | |
| Rig building - When or Why, do you change devices? My system was virtually unchanged for five years. I wasn't even looking for speakers, they found me. It was the old "too good to pass up" thing, I got a great deal on speakers that I otherwise could not afford. Unfortunately this set off a chain o... | |
| Getting best quality from Music Choice I agree, it's too bad there's no menu selection for PCM. I love music choice and have to admit that it would sound much better running through my DAC. It's not that it sounds bad, it's just not as good as it could potentially be. One thing that yo... | |
| Suggestions for good Preamp/tuner I second the PT 3 or PT 5, excellent pre for not too much $$$. | |
| Preamp recommendations for DNA125/Tyler Linbroooks McCormack RLD 1 is a good match plus you can have it upgraded in the future. They are a bargain used. | |
| SS quality pre-amp with HT bypass-suggestions? The McCormack RLD 1 is a great pre with HT bypass, there's one on audiogon right now. | |
| Help me choose an amp Out of those I would pick the ATI, I have a 1602 powering a second zone and it's a great amp, seven year warranty and excellent build and sound quality. | |
| Anyone permanently convert from tubes to SS? I've owned a VTL 50/50 which sounded nice but had several failures and an Anthem Amp 1 which was a very nice amp, however my McCormack DNA 125 is the best sounding amp I've had to date. I love this amp and have no intentions of going back to tubes. | |
| Should repaired equipment be stated in the ad?? I believe most people won't for fear of not selling it but sometimes if a component is older it may give some peace of mind to the buyer that it's been recently serviced. I sold an amp a while back and it worked to my advantage that I stated that ... | |
| Speakers you regret selling KEF RDM 2, great little speaker. | |
| B&K amplifier Fans I owned M200 Sonatas also and they were great amps, they're one of those components I wish I didn't sell. I use a B&K ST 2140 for my second audio zone and it sounds great and has served me well. My father still gets a lot of enjoyment out of h... | |
| Which is best amp, Mccormack 125, Belles 150 or I have a DNA 125 and it's the first amp I've ever owned that made me stop thinking about upgrading and I've owned quite a few, both tube and solid state. I liked it so much that I picked up a RLD-1 preamp a few weeks later. The 125 is smooth and m... | |
| What is the best SS used amp for $1k or less? The McCormack RLD 1 is a great preamp that can be found for about $900-$1100 used. It has a HT bypass, excellent 120 step 0.5 dB volume and balance, tape mon., two sets of pre-outs, and is available with or w/o phono card. I love mine, it replaced... |
