| McIntosh MCD500 vs Marantz SA7S1 I had previously spent some time with all of the Mac CD/SACD players, albeit the time was very limited.Just spent the entire weekend with the MCD201 on loan - initially ran it through my Sonic Frontiers Line 2 SE+, but after a couple of hours I de... | |
| Request opinions on SACD/CD Players. I have heard the players in question, and I'll raise you one....have a listen to the McIntosh MCD500 - then you'll forget the others, I kid you not! | |
| Has andbody heard the McIntosh MCD 500 player I currently own the 861 universal player, I recently heard the 301 and the 500, and the 500 is nothing short of amazing.I preferred it's sound to the Marantz SA7S1, and I have formerly owned a Classe Audio SACD2...don't know if I would say the 500... | |
| Best sounding HDCD player?? Have a listen to the McIntosh MCD301 and MCD500 players, very nice, very easy on the ears. | |
| Any information about the Classe 5L pre-amp? I have owned both the Five and the Five linestage, excellent preamps reagrdless of the system they find themselves front-ending. I have also owned the DR-6 and the Six, and I am awaiting the arrival of yet another Six this evening.I have tried so ... | |
| SimAudio or Classe for Power Amplifier audio4ever, I own B&W Matrix 801 S3 loudspeakers, I had a long audition with the W-5 and the CA-2200 driving these speakers. At the same time I had the opportunity to have a CA-300 and CA-401 in my home. I also auditioned a Bryston 4B-SST duri... | |
| SimAudio or Classe for Power Amplifier I am in agreement with the response from Audio4ever and how he sees these 2 fine companies except that I am completely the reverse in my findings specific to which is closer to musical truth. I would give that slight edge to Classe, primarily beca... | |
| SimAudio or Classe for Power Amplifier I have not compared these amps side by side but, I have experienced them both in my system driving B&W Matrix 801 S3 loudspeakers.I'll begin by stating the obvious, they're both great amps! My initial impression of the W5 was how similar it so... | |
| Classe CAM 350 discontinued....why? The entire Classe line will eventually be updated. In conversation with a gent at Classe some technical info was disclosed, the ability of the new amps just in current capability alone will be crazy. I've always loved the Classe sound, and if the ... | |
| Classe DR-25 worth buying? The DR-25 is 250 watts per channel, sonically it would rate very highly against the majority of todays amps. If you find a Model Twenty-Five amp my suggestion would be to make that purchase rather then the earlier DR-25. After Reich left the compa... | |
| Classe DR-25 worth buying? Probably responding too late to help, but just in case. The DR-25 will drive the Scintilla's to perfection, it is an extremely high current design, and stable into almost any load. I have personally seen the Scintilla's driven to perfection with a... | |
| Psb Platinum speakers To Gmood1:Where exactly did you audition the Platinums with VTL's?? In conversation with one of the largest distributors of PSB products just 3 days ago I was told they are scrambling to get hold of a pair of the new Platinums, any pair by the way. | |
| PSB Stratus Goldi vs Paradigm Studio 100 v2 I often read similar opinions of the Silveri, that it is a more refined speaker then the Goldi. Having had both the Silver and the newer "i" in my home my findings were that the Goldi was a better performer all around if you had the power amplifie... | |
| Psb Platinum speakers Hi Gmood1,Read with great interest your evaluation of the PSB Goldi's vs the Meadowlark Swifts. I'm not sure what you were using for electronics but whatever it was must have been seriously defective. I'll refrain from commenting on the Meadowlark... | |
| forget speakers for life,I want to upgrade now I'm extremely happy to tell you that in fact there is a speaker in this price range that does surpass the Paradigm Studio 100 v2.I'll begin by telling you that I am a big fan of electrostatics, I have owned a number of different models including A... |
