| Preamp choice: ML 326s or Rowland Corus M.L. amps are very good. So much false claims on line. The 326S is one of the best preamp made, the 333 and that series was great also, could there been issues from time to time, sure just like any electronics. There our owners whom have had no is... | |
| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? I owned AR, Rowland, ML, Mitner, Krell, and I have had my McIntosh MC 402 longer than any of them, and the reason why the amp sounds good on very speaker i have owned from dynamic speaker, Electrostatic, and now open baffle. I never thought I own ... | |
| SIMPLY AMAZING: Coda Technologies 07x Preamplifier Cannot tell how anything sounds on YouTube, the mic used the room, and so forth, the only way to know how it sounds in your system is inserted there. Been lots of positives on this preamp, and a lot say the same positives things about it, best of ... | |
| Why not more popular? "I’ve heard Emerald and several other boxless dynamic speakers at shows and they sounded good, with weak bass, and less dynamic than I’m used to". You’re not talking about Spatial Audio speakers, they kill what you say on the faults of other older... | |
| Audioquest Power Cords I watched it means zip, you can hear it! It's not hard to either. I can disable the DBS on the speaker wires and interconnects and the sound goes from really good to poor, on the power cords I like it disabled because I get more body and warmth an... | |
| Who is ditching their shiny disc spinners? I still am buying CD's I don't follow trends, I've burned some discs to USB and played them back and the CD always sounded better, and I still like holding a disc. I have neither the time nor care to burning 1,300 CDs and god knows how many songs ... | |
| ORANGE Fuse rejected I don't have a sterile sound or a dull sound, of too much bass or highs, or unbalanced sound reproduction. My fuses are what can with the gear. Go figure. | |
| Puritan PSM156 Balance conditioners have an impact on the sound and you will hear a difference but all I've to own is a stripping effect, clean yes, but a loss of body weight and tone. I owned a Furman 20i and loved the HC outlet section for front-end gear, but ... | |
| Puritan PSM156 Heard this unit and it sounds like any other "Balanced Conditioner", clean sound, with loss of body and weight and naturalness. Yes, it did sound different but it ends there. I've owned many balanced conditioners for over 20 plus years and all hav... | |
| Help selecting a power cord. The newer AQ power cords are quite good. Blizzard is a good value and sonics for the money spent without going overboard. For front-end gear, a PS Audio P-12 regenerator would be a great addition to your system. | |
| Marantz SA-10 arriving Monday! SA-10 is a stellar multi-talent player. This replaced an Esoteric K-01 which was great, but I don't miss it at all. I enjoyed my time with it. The Marantz needs a top-grade power cord, I found the Audioquest Blizzard and Thunder to bring out all t... | |
| A black hole went into my Marantz SA-10! You only use disc dampers on top-loading CD players, Marantz, Esoteric, Luxman and the rest is a big no, no, your only asking for trouble. They are no designed for these types of players in fact they go way back, some who made these types made a n... | |
| Technics SU-R1000 a new Class-D GaN Technology integrated I own an A/B 105lb. amp. I love it, but I don’t have zip against class D newer technology. There are just too many good reviews now saying the sound quality is superb with the tone, color weight, and dynamics, and over-the-top musical. Class D is ... | |
| So done with audiophile fuses It's your money, spend as you wish, all I know in 3o years none of my gear as blown a fuse with using the fuse what came with it. So why these expensive fuses blows give me concern. I can say that on the DQ 10's then had a fuse, we took the fuse o... | |
| Love for Spatial Audio Sapphire M5s Great speakers, great designer, and fantastic sound while being fair price. I own the M3's. After break in and getting them set up right for my room, one of the finest speakers I owned, and I am a Quad lover. |
