| Turntable - The Next Step Lots of options and I agree with vinylzone. I think you may get better bang for the buck by allocating more to the table and catridge. Your cartrigde is a good one - I'd even consider putting it all into the table versus peanut butter spreadin... | |
| What is an audiophile? Are you an audiophile? @stuartk and @pesky_wabbit damn, that's what I get for thinking again! | |
| Qobuz/Tidal Differences I've had both services simultaneously and noticed two differences: Catalog Sonic differences Overall I found more music I like listening to on Tidal. I did notice Quboz had a plethora of versions of some songs (high def if you will, remaste... | |
| How to tell McIntosh MC452 and MC462 difference The changes besides the heat sinks and the model number are inside - my question is what are you looking to improve by moving from the 452 to the 462? The improvements are headroom and distortion - I could see if you were looking for more power l... | |
| What is an audiophile? Are you an audiophile? I think audiophiles love music. And consequently often are involved in activities related to music. If you are an audiophile you could enjoy a new listening experience- system, artist, genre, etc. Doesn’t mean you’re going to like it but will... | |
| Tube solid state or hybrid with extreme tinnitus I don't use headphones often but I have experience with Moon and have compared them to tube gear. I would encourage an audition of any of their equipment. | |
| Looking for a SS amp for Goldenear References Enjoy the hunt because there's a lot of great options all along the price spectrum. I have become a fan of Moon because I like their dynamics and detail. | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer @schw06 I think your post is spot on. I also think 'awesome' is subjective and changes over time. I've had McIntosh gear and while I have moved on to other brands it was because i was looking for something I found during auditioning for an upgra... | |
| Transparent Cables interconnects question I can't tell you which sounds better because I haven't listened to them back to back. I prefer balanced connections because of the increased signal level and the lower signal distortion. I'd try to audition them back to back if possible. | |
| Most beautiful turntable under $5k I enjoy modern minimalist - Rega P8 is my choice. I'm sure there's many options I don't know about. | |
| Sonus Faber speakers @andrew_r I used the 4 ohm taps on my MC 302 for the the Sonetto Vs. And I did ask McIntosh Labs for their suggestion and they also said use the 4 ohms for the speakers. | |
| Speakers with a slightly warm midrange Can you audition? I own Sonus faber Nova Vs and I like them a lot. I also like Devore Super 10s...but this is about you. I'd try to listen and get auditions in your house if possible. Good luck! | |
| Inexpensive speaker cables: any experience? Inexpensive is relative. I have auditioned and noticed impacts of speaker cables, interconnects and power cables. I have Kimber Kables speakers and interconnects and have traded up interconnects in the past. It may be worth calling them if yo... | |
| McIntosh MC-252 If you want to, by all means go for it! You are the only one who can determine if you should... financial, performance, etc. | |
| Sonus Faber speakers @andrew_r happy listening I agree- I’m on my 3rd set of Sonus fabers - Venere 3.0, Sonnetto V and now Olympica Nova V. I am believing/hoping I have my forever speakers and system. And I have enjoyed the journey along the way. The Sonnettos are ... |
