Mark levinson no.532h Amp to the preamp is important and matching brands and the era of each is the way to go. They were voiced together. The ML 432 with the 326S is also the way to go. | |
Macintosh MC452 or Mark Levinson 532H I owned the McIntosh amps and the 532H along with the 326S, and the ML gear together is one of the finest sounding systems I've owned. The 532H is more modern plain looking but it is how it sounds that matters and no way is it clinical, it sounds ... | |
NORDOST SORT FUT VS. ISOACOUSTICS GAIA Anything you put under gear or speakers change the sound and hopefully a sound you will like. When someone designs an amp, pre, etc, I know they never use special feet, or power conditioners, they are designed as is. But stamp audiophile product o... | |
Power conditioner or not? I use a regenorator by PS for my front end gear. Having said that, I cannot think of any preamp, amp designers who use any type of power conditioners when designing their gear. Having spoken to them not one says they are needed to make a proper de... | |
CD player recommendations Marantz SA-10 Player. My dealer showed me a great streaming system. It was nice, hip, I took my Marantz in to see on my CD compared, sorry my CD sounded much better, more tone, weight and color, and dynamic, the dealer said to me well it is but an... | |
Advice needed re: new CD player purchase Marantz SA-10. Replaced my Esoteric K-01 and I never looked back it is that good. | |
Who Tried Power Conditioners Over The Years and No Longer Use Them Today, Any Why? Thank you all for the responses, so like always attack and become argumentative. I use a Furman Reference 20i and a PS Audio P-12. One for the Video system and the PS for my front end. Most wrote how they love their conditioners, that is great! My... | |

PreAmp Gain and Impact on Amp My question is why when I adjust my gain settings on the Mark Levinson 326S preamp that are selectable per input of 0 dB 6, 12, & 18 dB the sound changes on each setting, biggest this is bass, and detail change, the higher you go the more bass... | |
Why the hate for mcintosh amps? I never gave McIntosh a chance, hearing for years they sounded poor for doctors and lawyers, etc. Well, I heard a system in a store one day and I said this sounds great, live almost, he said it is our McIntosh system. My jaw dropped, long story sh... | |
Mark Levinson 326s I own the 326S as well and I can tell you the sonics will change based on the gain settings. 0-6-12-18db are selectable. Going to my McIntosh MC 402, 9 gain sounds thin and lacks dynamics 6db of gain brings out more body and dynamics, and bottom e... |
