| Mcintosh or Classe Yeah, the omicron was really nice, I heard it several times at a dealer. The only problem with large amps is MOVING them! The 501's aren't the biggest in the world but they weigh 100lbs each and are compact, nothing to grip. It's like moving a bou... | |
| Mcintosh or Classe I like both, I own a ca 200 and have for 15 years or so but I moved to Mcintosh 501's and never looked back. Much more refined sound particularly in bass definition and pitch. I think both have very nice midrange but again the Mac is a little clea... | |
| Upgrade RB300 Tonearm or Not? Bside, I would definitely consider a Hadcock. I used an rb300 for a couple of years and changed to a Hadcock 228 export and it was a considerable improvement. VTA is adjustable and a snap, it is also fairly easy to mount. | |
| Cartridge advice in the $2000 range ortofon jubilee floats my boat...read the reviews I would have to agree with them, does everything very well. | |
| Comments per Brand in Discussion Forums Great topic Jim, you could ad several more brands in both categories. I would include VPI in the latter. | |
| Where are best places to buy used records in NYC ? Don't go to Colony records in Times Square, I went by there and they allegedly have vinyl downstairs but they treated it like Fort Knox and would not let me down. Good luck to em.... | |

| Calling Thiel Owners: MC501s to drive CS3.7? For me, that would be an excellent match. My 3.6's and 501's are very nice! | |

| Whatever happened to Straight Wire? Dabluguy, I am witness to a mighty fine job voicing them speakers! | |
| Whatever happened to Straight Wire? I've never tried Straightwire IC's but in my system the Maestro II speaker cables are more balanced and open with my Thiels than a long list of contenders mentioned above and then some. The top end is impressive, totally open, extended, and airy b... | |
| Whatever happened to Straight Wire? I guess I did make an absolute statement about perhaps the most "variable" link in a playback system. What I should have said is in my system Maestro II speaker cables are as enjoyable or more so than many cables I have owned including Kimber 3035... | |
| Whatever happened to Straight Wire? Straightwire does indeed make excellent products but they have been noticeably absent in terms of press and advertising for a while. Innovation is critical, it always has been but especially in todays world. Level 3 and 4 in the SW line can absolu... | |
| Isolation and Monster Power conditioner True story, both. | |
| Blown CS7.2 Tweeter/midrange Sounds like a driver problem to me, I don't want to jinx myself but I drove my 3.6 with 200 watt classe power for years and it could get congested when cranked on dynamic music. Macintosh 501 mono's made this a different speaker!However, unless yo... |
