| MARANTZ MA9S2/ SC7S2 VS PARASOUND JC1/JC2 I go with the Marantz hands down, it is just a wonder preamp. | |
| 12BZ7/12AX7 vs. 5751 5751 sound thin, if you like a more solid state sound then go 5751's. Joe's Lore is what he heard in his system with his ears and his likes. Nothing wrong with that, but it does not make for in stone what tube is the best for your system and your ... | |
| marantz sa-7s1 vs marantz sa-1 Well about 10 years between the two designs, so the newer one sounds better because digital progressed by leaps and bounds over this decade. I owned the SA7-S1 excellent and I kept it and I've tried many over the years all $$$$. | |
| McIntosh owners - please help me decide ona preamp C2300 replaced my C200. | |
| McIntosh C48 Audio Preamp info Only you can tell if you will like it. Go and listen to one and use your own ears. Really that is the best advise you can give yourself. In your system would be ideal. Mac makes great gear and it always musical. | |
| McIntosh C2300 Power Cord Recommendation I like the Harmonic Technology Magic or the Lessloss line. | |
| ARC LS25 with PASS X250 - bad match? Seems bright. ARC products are bright sounding, more like solid state. Pass is not a bright amp. | |
| Mcintosh owners tube discussion For my system the Psvane Treasures fron Grant Fidelity are excellent with the C2300 good as my NOS tubes For NOS the Brimars work very well, just make sure they are the ones in the black and red box's not the red and yellow boxes which are really ... | |
| Has anybody heard the new Audio Research LS 27? Funny I just read Ref5-SE already released, how long did that take. Same old ARC. Great marketing. | |
| who has done the ARC REF5 upgrade to SE ARC is still doing the upgrade game. Which is why I stopped considering them. REf5 cost a few good bucks, and now they have a SE version. Think they could get it right the 1st time. Sorry to hear they would not share with you, it would have been i... | |
| Usher BE-20 nominal impendance ? Not enough power. Go with a McIntosh amp like the MC402, you will be very happy. | |
| Amps for ESL Try a McIntosh MC402 amp you will have no issues. They use auto transformers and function like a tube amp. Quad 62 will sing. | |
| Can I still buy Quad ESL63 with no repair record? Panels last 15-20 years if you take care of them, if your touchy then 10 years and send them in for a check up. To many myth about these speakers. 100,000 of thousands in service still, amps and there ability to drive them has improved over the ma... | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Simple and cheap Cardas caps for unused RCA inputs. Digital Terminator for CD player unused digital output. Unreal improvement due to lack of noise. Who says digital cannot sound good, wrong! | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? Opera Droplet 5.0. Superb for any format sound wise. |
