| Is there a better integrated amp than the Cary SI-300.2d for the money? I remember listening to McIntosh 30+ years ago and was blown away. It was a Crown and McIntosh combo driving a combination of JBL horns and 15" woofers in custom designed cabinets (my friend was an Electrical Engineer who later owned a recording s... | |
| Is there a better integrated amp than the Cary SI-300.2d for the money? Thanks grannyring. I’ll look into it and try to compare it to the Cary provided the pricing is in the ballpark. I do have one or two analog inputs so I’ll ask Neal about that. sfseay, thanks for the suggestion. I'm a little nervous about class D ... | |
| Is there a better integrated amp than the Cary SI-300.2d for the money? Thanks grannyring. I've been doing a lot of research on the product based on aniwolfe and your recommendations.

| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? Thanks for the responses. I'll admit to being pretty confused right now. On the one hand, my experience and that of many people I know confirm a stronger emotional response when listening to great music on a great stereo. Perhaps the message is le... | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? Onhwy61, I hear you and thought I addressed it in my post. Of course you can have an emotional response to a song even on a car radio with a bunch of road noise. Sing along. Cry. Laugh. But there is an additional magic when hearing it live because... | |
