| Tuner can be heard through other inputs You could unplug the rca's from the Naim but try this first. Have the muting on and put the dial where there is no station. | |
| Which Speakers to use with a Shanling - MC-30 I ran a MC-30 with with some Omegas and Cain & Cain Abbys and enjoyed the combos. They are mid 90's db and have no crossover which 3 watts will love. Price point is in line with the amp. | |
| Best PreAmp match for a MC-7270? The C34 would be the "era" match for the 7270. It's a great preamp. I think the newer ones would be better sonicly plus you get remote control. Your call.I can't think of any Mac pre that won't match up with a Mac amp impedance wise so I wouldn't ... | |
| High End system sounding Terrible???? Have you checked your sub configuration? You may be getting the lows with movies but not in 2 ch stereo. | |
| Audio Research or Conrad Johnson Tube Pre-Amp??? Downunder,I am happy where I am now BUT am thinking ahead about the series 3 upgrade. I know what you mean by "magic", hard to describe but you know it when you hear it. Would I lose any of it, who knows and it's a $12000 gamble. For now, the ACT ... | |
| Audio Research or Conrad Johnson Tube Pre-Amp??? Rbwinterlink,1. Either will work well. You can't have someone else tell you what you will like best.2. The 6922s are a fantastic tube to roll. You may want to go with a brand that is more sweet or more neutral. We have no way of knowing what you w... | |
| Glow Amp One questions? 1. Yes2. 5670 from Jim McShane was a worthwhile improvement. Audio Magus sells a replacement set of driver/output tubes that are very nice.3. Only tried it for a little bit with my Senn 600's but it was the best I have heard them. Don't have too... | |
| Pass Labs xa - .5 amps Mozvz, I responded earlier when you asked about the CJ ACT 2s synergy with the Pass. In a word, wonderful. With the 100.5's on the Maggies now, I moved the 30.5 into my home office as an experiment. I've had the Cain and Cain Super Abbys in there ... | |
| Why are "low hours" a consideration? Oregon, I saw this bumper sticker on the back of a pickup when I was driving thru Montana: "Don't like my driving? Call 1-800-EAT-SHIT". It passed me and I was doing 80 and the driver was an old lady.Low hours: PufferyPet free: Some people have se... | |
| Pass Labs xa - .5 amps I have ran a Conrad Johnson CT-5 into the 30.5 with excellent results. I've heard many combinations during my time in this hobby and this is one of the best if not the best I have heard. Liked it so much, I got the 100.5's a few weeks ago and will... | |
| pass XA and Quad Speakers I think the match will be especially good. Let us know. | |
| Cheap Plater dust cover Hey, they used to call LP's licorice pizzas. Coincidence? I don't think so. | |
| Office System -- Low Volume Speakers I have a feeling you might be happy with the Omega speakers mentioned above mainly because they have no crossovers. Some 2 way/3 way don't sound as balanced at low levels. | |
| Understanding Mcintosh Meters? >> Onemug: Yes, my amp does have powerguard. This means that my speakers should be protected against any spike in the music that may cause the amp to clip?Yes, but I would not push it. Amps and speakers can be repaired, your ears can't. | |
| Understanding Mcintosh Meters? Totally worthless? Don't know about that. Does a car need a tachometer? No, but I like knowing what's going on engine wise. Same with audio. They will let you know when you're about to "redline" the amp (not the speakers though).To the OP: Don't k... |
