| Dual Turntables I had the 1229Q for many years and really liked it. | |
| LETS COMPARE TUBE AND SS AMPS. TECHNICAL Oh Boy, here we go! | |
| More of a Tube Sound In a Tube CD player I think that you should check out an Audio Note DAC that you could use with your player as a transport. I think that they are full and natural without being overtly tubey. | |
| Suggestions for 'filling the port' of bass reflex I tried the straws before I tried the upholstery foam, because Stuart Tyler of ProAc used straws in the Response 1 speaker years ago. It did not sound right at all in the ported Dahlquist speakers that I was using. Foam did the trick. | |
| Suggestions for 'filling the port' of bass reflex I use upholstery foam about 1 inch thick that can be rolled up and placed in the port. It works well. | |
| Horns and 2in Drivers Do you mean a horn loaded 2 inch compression driver? | |
| attenuators and potentiometers This may or may not help. I have used a McIntosh 2105 solid state amplifier for years, and I had the same issue. The amp has gain controls, and in an effort to use the preamp (several different ones) at a higher gain setting, I turned down the dua... | |

| more mcintosh questions Jaybo is correct. Stop agonizing and get a Mac ...with Autoformers. And please, don't compare it to a Carver! | |

| old cdp that hangs with new ones Pioneer PD-65. It isn't my primary player any more, but it is a real honey, and you'll notice that they still retain value on the used market because they sound good. | |
| Will Old MAC outperform Cambridge 640 Azur V2? The 2105 is a hell of an amp that has slain a few giants around my house. I still love it. | |
| Pros posing as hobbyists? I feel the same as Danlib1. Because of space and financial constraints, I have sold a number of pieces that I would have rather kept. If you are on a limited audio budget, you need to sell to finance what you want to try next. The problem of cours... |
