| Those black boxes degrade sound? I owned MIT Oracle for a few years now 1.2V and 3.2V proline. They are not smeared, bright, dull, dark, slow or fat. They match up to your gear due to the variable impedance switching. The cables cost but in a well designed system can be the cherr... | |
| Why do old tubes sound better than current tubes? When folks are making $$$$ finding pulled tubes from old TV shops and where ever they of course will say the best. I heard several new tubes that sounded better, some of the NOS tubes can have a warmth to them, but dynamics just are not there or t... | |
| Pangea power cords I use them in my video system, they are a great value and will put a lot of the mom and pop stuff to shame, you can add this big names also. Like any power cord system depended. But for the asking price it's win win to try them. They take a month ... | |
| DCCA or Shunyata help? One word if you want to be done with power cords. LessLoss. | |
| LessLoss Signature vs Synergistic Python CX Hard to beat the Lessloss. For once proven design and not snake oil wins out. This are priceless. | |
| These new POLK LSiM's look tempting Trance,If You have a pair of Confidence 5's your done. This baby is one hard speaker to beat. You have to really go way way way up in price. Polk's will be nice I'm sure, but not in the same class as you 5's | |
| World's BEST ac outlets.......Maestro outlets I been using these for 3 months now. I been very happy. I tried a lot of the other mentioned, I liked the porter ports better than anything I tried up to $145.00. I like these Masetro even more, I would agree with what Hifisound guy says. These ar... | |
| Preamp inverts phase question: To keep it simple. My preamp (C2300) XLR's are wired different than my Marantz SA7-S1 CD/SACD player. So the signal that reaches the amp is inverted. So I have two choices, one is to use the electronic phase switch on the CD player or to flip the ... | |
| what should i keep, shindo or mcintosh McIntosh C2300 will be around long after Shindo. Nothing against Shindo but with this market slowly dieing survival will be tough for the big names, the small ones I really have a hard time buying. What happens when they are gone who going to repa... | |
| mcintosh c2300 I love it...done with preamps. | |
| Mcintosh c2300 preamp tube question Tele's work the best in my system and I have owned and still own 10 other brands. I keep going back to the Tele's. They just do it all right with this preamp. This preamp really shows the character of each tube. Then of course your speakers, room ... | |
| Best Tubes results for McIntosh C2300 I agree 100% Telefunken. Tried several brands, and the Tele's just do everything right, I guess well balanced would be the word. I change but then I keep going back to them. The C2300 is not a McIntosh off old, it is very natural. | |
| Preamp inverts phase question: You can hear if the system phase is inverted at the XLR by pin configuration or the preamp my design is phase inverted, and tube preamps have a history of this and the manufacture notes that in the owner manual. My dealer told me never to switch t... | |
| PS Perfect wave power cord I am going through the burn-in of the AC 12, On my amp it sounds fine but switch it to the source CD or Preamp and like all the above comments the sounds is just weird, mid bass missing, highs sizzle, mids thin and grainy. I have about 30 hours on... | |
| Mcintosh C-2300 first impressions I own the C2300 for several months and over that time I can tell you the tube used will make a big difference. Also the preamp is natural, if your room has issues it will show it, I took down a few wall panels and I was shocked at how much quality... |
