| Marantz SA7S1 owners - stock or modded My strong suggestion would be to sell your SA7S1 to the highest bidder on A'gon and purchase a McIntosh MCD500....a better player all around and no need to mod. | |
| RB1080 for 803D? The diamond tweeter is extremely revealing, the Rotel will stand out with speakers of this caliber.Purely my suggestion, and of course I don't know your budget, but any vintage of Classe Audio amp would be a vast improvement over the Rotel. | |
| Best high end monitors? Monitor Audio PL100 | |
| Company loyalty- What has been your favorite? Many years ago Luxman had my undivided attention, after the Alpine takeover I moved on to Classe Audio and was very dedicated to this brand until just 2 years ago.Right now my brand loyalty is being shared between Bryston and McIntosh....but it lo... | |
| the best CD player between 6'000 - 10'000 $ ? If you want a digital player, well that's one thing, if you are in fact looking for a music player then I would suggest the McIntosh MCD500 is the best of the bunch. | |
| HELP B&W 802D or Revel Ultima Salon2 Budt, well said.I for one think the midrange of the B&W 800 series speakers to be among the best. If my budget was just a little higher then it is I would own B&W 801D's - but unfortunately such is life.Of the speakers mentioned in this th... | |
| CD player connected directly to Amplifier? Whenever you can remove a component from the signal path you are very likely improving the resultant sound. If adding a pre improves the sound then it is likely you prefer what is being added, but in real terms it also means you don't really like ... | |
| CD player connected directly to Amplifier? I'm expecting my new MCD500 any day now, one of the biggest reasons I went with this particular player is its ability to drive my amp directly.I had the opportunity to try out an MCD201 driving my amp directly for 4 days....after far too many hour... | |
| HELP B&W 802D or Revel Ultima Salon2 If you have a Monitor Audio dealer near enough to go have a listen to the new PL300's I would encourage you to do so. I was very close to buying a pair of Harbeth M40.1's, this after listening to a couple of the speakers you have mentioned....the ... | |
| Best Canadian Made Whiskey Aaaaah! Gotta love a Whiskey drinkin' woman!!! | |
| McIntosh MCD500 vs Marantz SA7S1 Agreed. | |
| McIntosh MCD500 vs Marantz SA7S1 Absolutely, I didn't think to run direct while I had the 301, but sure wish I had. The SA7S1 was plugged into XLR1 and the 301 was plugged into XLR2, the SA7S1 was in my system for far longer than the Mac, but my preference for the Mac really bega... | |
| McIntosh MCD500 vs Marantz SA7S1 Actually, regardless of the preamp the ideal would be to feed directly - anything you can remove from the path the signal has to follow has to be an improvement.The pre in question is a Sonic Frontiers Line 2 SE that was just back to Parts Connexi... | |
| Best Canadian Made Whiskey Sure, we can open it up to Whiskey's made elsewhere....I was just thinking of how much I enjoy a few CC's & G while listening to some good tunes. | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? Canadian Club Classic (12 year) mixed nicely with some Canada Dry Ginger Ale....aaaaahh. |
