| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio Good suggestions on the Mazda tubes. I had some for my preamp from Brent Jessee and they were great | |
| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio I still have the original tubes in it. Being bright is not my experience. This is why home demo are so important. I'm curious to learn what you do go with | |
| If it sounds 'great', everything is ok? Yes, leave it alone ! I am at the point where I am afraid to make any changes..... really digging how everything sounds. | |
| Mcintosh C15 - Your Impressions and Matching Power Amp The 7100 is a very good amp, it was often paired with the C15. They play well together | |
| Mcintosh C15 - Your Impressions and Matching Power Amp It is a good preamp, no doubt $1500 msrp was a good chunck of change when introduced. But when I see them places asking $1800 I have to scratch my head. I paid $750 back then and it served me well. Never one issue . | |
| NHT X1 crossover to tube preamp? Depends. Do you want to run the speakers full range and just provide a summed L and R signal to the sub? Or do you want to deliver high pass , above 80 or so to the mains and deliver below the crossover to the sub? | |
| Mcintosh C15 - Your Impressions and Matching Power Amp You may not like its looks but the Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 built in the same era is much better sounding. I picked one up for $500 as a back up preamp. I’m using it right now. It sounds good | |
| Mcintosh C15 - Your Impressions and Matching Power Amp After owning several preamps after that , I can say each step up was better than the C15. Hate to sound like a Debbie Downer but that isn’t a preamp that is so much desirable for it’s sound quality, but rather it’s looks. If you pay less than... | |
| Mcintosh C15 - Your Impressions and Matching Power Amp I bought one used around 04 for $750 , a few years later I sold it for $1350 on eBay. It was pristine. I saw one sell recently for $1500. Having owned one, I would not spend that kind of money on one. People generally overpay for used Mc... | |
| Mcintosh C15 - Your Impressions and Matching Power Amp Not sure what an "irresistible" deal is but i think C15 are generally overpriced. That unjt was built during the Clarion years. Those were tough times for McIntosh , that unit was good but not great. I replaced mine with a conrad johnson Clas... | |
| Help with hiss I had a weird noise coming from my mono amps a few years ago. Took a while to figure it out. It was plug in air freshener, every time it cycled to dispense the scent my speakers would make a weird crackling noise. | |
| Margules ACRH - 3 Enjoy, looks like really good stuff . I didn't know they have been in the biz since 1927.... pretty impressive. | |
| The 300B World I am using a Raytheon Ceramic base 274b in my amp. I also have some Ken Rad circa 1945 5r4gy that are great . | |
| Stupid Asking Prices- Why Don't Sellers Read Audiogon The Blue Book First? I actually don't care whether those amps sell. They are fantastic and I'm sure I will add them to the list of things I've regretted selling. Down the road I will set up a second system and wish I still had them. I have a guy that seems ser... | |
| odd question about stand-mount speakers One of my favorite speakers , PSB M2 Platinum had that array, woofer on top , tweeter below. If I could find a mint pair in Cherry, I would buy them again One of my biggest regrets, selling those. |
