| Anyone compared McIntosh mc252 and mc352? Arthur, I understand - good luck with school, when it's over you can buy whatever you want! | |
| What speaker after Thiel 7.2? Hi Rob, I looked at your system and it appears your Thiels are placed rather close together, perhaps 6 or 7 feet apart. For best results more distance is optimum but you might not have that option in your room. It makes a gigantic difference with ... | |
| transparent plus or straightwire rhapsody Rex is right, plus many 'goners are only familiar with brands in their system, and that's what they usually recommend, without extensive experience with others. Just take advice with a grain of salt. | |
| Anyone compared McIntosh mc252 and mc352? Arthur, hold out for the 501's - I never dreamed my Thiel 3.6's were capable of the music they are kicking out! | |
| Tube Pre suggestions for Mac Amp I'm using a CJ premier 14 with Mullard tubes - great match. Mac amps have a low input impedence and some of the newer CJ amps have a high output impedence, the premier 14 is less than 250 ohms, similar to Mac preamps. I don't know if it really mat... | |
| cj preamps I've had my premier 14 for 5 years now, has been very reliable, upgraded from a pv10 - sorry to hear Cytocycle had a bummer with cj - their service with me has been impeccable - but I've had trouble with another so I know the frustration. The cj i... | |

They have an inner detail which allows you to hear deep into the soundstage, however, it is sweet and detailed versus anal... | |
| Differences between CJ PV-11 and Premier 14 Dopogue, I get mine from Upscale Audio - the GE's from CJ look just like the Mullards and sound good too. The Mullards add just a little sparkle in the midrange in my system. | |
| Differences between CJ PV-11 and Premier 14 Dopogue thats interesting - I've had a premier 14 for years and found the opposite! The GE's from CJ flamed out quick and Mullards seem to last much longer. Goes to show there just aren't any absolutes in audio, especially tubes.It has been a grea... | |
| CES 2005 Initial impressions... Thanks for the report and your time Sam. | |
| mcintosh & big $ interconnects Hi Bigjoe, nice system you've got, finally became a Mac owner myself - 46 years old go figure. I got the 501's and using big $ cables (bought used btw). Using MIT 350 SG EVO and 350 reference and the sound is phenomenal, driven by a CJ premier 14.... | |

| McIntosh MC402 I bought the 501's and they completely exceeded my expectations. |
