| 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... | |

| 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... | |

| 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... | |
