| Your best ''outstanding'' products in last 5 yrs? I just had a major upgrade of several components, and one component that is outstanding in terms of sound quality is my Conrad-Johnson Classic 2 SE preamp. It is a true minimalist design with absolutely no frills, no balance, no tone controls. Jus... | |
| Cambridge Audio 651a vs. Outlaw RR2150 Cambridge.... I received one of the first 2150s , it died, I got another one and it sounded fine. All was well until I turned the bass up and it shifted the balance. The balance was plugged into the tone circuit and the tone control was plugged in... | |
| Kef LS50 Revel Performa 106 Sonus Faber Venere 1. I have the M106 and they are a great speaker....They are A MUST audition if you are looking for a small speaker. I'm sure the others are very good but I am in love with the Revels. I am a former KEF and Sonus Faber owner and respect both brands bu... | |
| Parasound, McCormick, Odyssey - best under $1000 The McCormack DNA 125 is a great amp that can be had used for around 1k..... I just upgraded my pre ,speakers,and DAC but kept my five year old DNA 125 because it's such a good amp . It would take a lot more than I'm willing to spend right now to ... | |
| Which is REALLY the best Conrad Johnson Preamp I know it's no GAT but my new c-j Classic 2 SE is quite special. My system has never sounded so good.... | |
| Why do some audiophiles beat up McIntosh? I only owned one Mc preamp, a C15. It wasn't bad but it wasn't as good as the PS Audio 6.0 preamp it replaced and was no where as good as the McCormack RLD 1 that replaced it.... | |
| I would like to know the approx. value of my equip It is a tough economy for used audio values.... trust me, I just practically gave away some great gear that wasn't all that old. Unfortunately the bottom feeders on fleabay have pushed prices to an all time low. I try to think about the enjoyment ... | |
| Sonus Faber Venere vs Revel performa 3 I have the M106 and I love them. The sound to me seems extremely well balanced from top to bottom. I am driving them with a conrad-johnson Classic 2 SE pre and McCormack DNA 125 amp and it is awesome. I run them full range with a REL R305 and it's... | |
| What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1? I waited forever for the 997... I'm not even interested in the 998 after all the hype. | |
| Audio Alchemy DDE v.3 Dac problem Check out the Channel Islands Audio VDA 2 DAC. At $599 it's a killer dac for the money in my opinion. | |
| Van Alstine SS vs. McCormack DNA amps I have a DNA 125 and it's a great amp. I picked up the RLD 1 pre shortly after and the combo blows away the McIntosh 7100 amp and C15 pre combo it replaced. | |
| $300 for older Rotel/Outlaw or do something else? The 1066 smokes any of the Outlaw preamps. | |
| McCormack vs. Parasound Amp I am currently using a DNA-125 and I can easily say it's the best sounding amp I've ever owned and I've had many. I'm using it with their RLD-1 pre and PSB Platinum M2 speakers, very lifelike 3D sound. | |
| Information on Emotiva The 990 is a good pre but it's seriously outdated compared to the UMC-1. That's why it's $700 and not $1200 like it was originally priced. I'm waiting for the UMC-1 to put in my preamp's HT bypass. | |
| I need SS muscle McCormack DNA 225s can be had cheap with the launch of the DNA 250. It's a great amp, I have a DNA 125 and it's extremely musical and has great dynamics. |
