| Red Wine, Patek, Audio Zone and Atma Sphere I've had an Atmashpere S-30 for a short while. Really like their OTL sound. I still have a Red Wine Sig 30, actually the Omega version which is the 30 wrapped in wood. Have not heard the others you mention. The 30 is the one for me. I especially l... | |
| I would like to upgrade from Sumiko MMT tonearm You might keep your eyes out for a SME 309. There seems to be a special symetry between SOTA and SME. For a cartridge, I liked the Grado Sonata. Good luck. | |
| SET Amps and Maggies Tz7, you haven't told us how loud you like to play your system. I have been running a SET (Art Audio Carissa Sig) on my 3.6's for 5 months off and on. Up to a certain level, it's really sweet. After that, I have 2 other solid state amps that I swi... | |
| Do audiophiles have a high divorce rate? I was going to skip this post but I'm glad I read it. So far the vast majority here seem to have it together. My wife and I have been together for 25 yrs and it's better than ever. I see so many "divorce forces sale" items and that's only when the... | |
| Mcintosh C220 pre Congrats on your purchase. On my C2200 it seemed like after just 10 hrs it was nice and then it just gets a little better and better. I wouldn't think about rolling tubes until you've broken it in and got acquainted with its sound "in your room wi... | |
| Question about bi-wired speakers Some speakers seem to benefit more than others so it's hard to say in your particular situation. Try some cheap experiments first. Run your single cable to the other set of binding posts and see if there's any difference. If you're using the stock... | |

| A Question for Maggie lovers/owners Teajay, I am also a Maggie/planar lover. I've had 2 dedicated systems for years with the 3.6's in one and Duetta Sigs in the other. A new house a few years back gave me a problem room. Even in that room the Maggies sounded better than anything els... | |
| Long Speaker Cables with Tube Amps? Bass Response I have used Cardas SE-15 in 8' lengths with my SET's and now their SE-11 in a 16' lenght and don't think I lost much if any. They also make an SE-9 which is 9 guage if you'd feel better about the extra copper. Good luck. | |
| Best tube integrated under 1500 new or used I recently got a Sophia EL34 for my work office but I like it so much it's still at home. Push-pull and 28 wpc. They list for 1500 and 120 for the upgraded coupling caps. I have not heard the stock one. It was highly recommended to go with the upg... | |
| Anyone have experience with Mac MCD 751/MDA 700 I've owned them for several years, still have them. The DAC is fully balanced from input to output and can accept 3 other digital inputs. I enjoy the sound. At their used price, I think they would be hard to beat. Good luck. | |
| Question about Scott 350 Tuner Mike Z. is brilliant and honest. Send it to him and you will have an excellent tuner. | |
| Big Mcintosh MC1000 pwr amp s? Looks like I'm going to be in the minority of the postings here. I've owned the 1000s for around 8 yrs now. I tried the 1201s for about a month. They are great and I would choose them over just about anything else in their price range. But ultimat... |
