| MA352 into Power Guard Are you hooked up to the 8 ohm tap or 4 ohm? Is the 352 rated at 8 and 4 ohms which I'm sure it is? Have you contacted McIntosh or a dealer? Single or bi-wire? Are you using the jumpers on the speaker binding posts? Just asking questions :) | |
| What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ? Pass are great amps in the right system or personal tastes. I jumped on the bandwagon several months ago and purchased a X150.8. My 1st impressions were, powerful, dynamic, very nice looking amp, clean crisp sound but lacked in midrange richness... | |
| Music Hall MMF 7.3 Question Music Hall for the money is a very good turntable. Well thought out design but is no match for a VPI or something similar in my opinion. A dealer who is a vinyl head said Roy Halls tables are poop and you have to spend $4k or more to get really go... | |
| What's a fair price for an Audio Research Reference 75? $5200 in North Carolina is pick up only. Will NOT ship. | |
| Marantz SA-11 S1 drawer not opening and some SACD won't read Have you replaced the belt? I had a S1 and the drawer wasn't opening unless I helped it. Had a local repair shop look at it and he found the belt was stretched and replaced it. Cheap fix. | |
| 6.5 vs 8 vs 10 woofer Clearly the OP doesn't list his room size and mention 8" woofer is sufficient for large sized rooms come on. Doug Schroeder hits the nail on the head. | |
| Which amplifier should i buy All I can say the bass was bloated or muddy. Just didn't sound controlled and tight. The A3 needs juice. As another post above a Pass X250.8 would be a great amp to try. If you don't like it they don't last long for sale. | |
| Which amplifier should i buy I listened to the A3 a few months ago while auditioning speakers. At the time I took my ARC Ref110 with KT120 so I could have a fair comparison what each speaker sounded like with my own amp. The A3 did not sound that good with the ARC. The deal... | |
| Primaluna EVO 300/400 Preamplifier owners - let's hear from you Have owned my EVO 400 preamp for several months and it is the best so far. I have substituted Mullards in the front 4 positions while retaining the stock PL tubes in the rear positions. I found in my system the stock tubes up front tended to be o... | |
| Anyone heard the new ARC LS28 SE? You are correct Kren0006 comparing old vs new is a different story :)I think the Linestages do have the same sonic characteristics as their bigger brothers but as far as performance the Ref series is going to have more of EVERYTHING generally spe... | |
| Anyone heard the new ARC LS28 SE? No I have not however, I have heard previous Linestages and Ref series preamps. The Ref series are steps above the Linestages. Different build qualities. | |
| Anyone heard the new ARC LS28 SE? My opinion the 28SE is several notches below a Ref 6. ARC makes Ref series preamps for a reason. This is my opinion only but why would a company make a linestage that would better their top of the line models especially within a model years apart? | |
| What Amp with Sonus Faber Olympica 3? Working on those tubes 😜 | |
| What Amp with Sonus Faber Olympica 3? @jjss49 I am enjoying the 150.8. It has taken some time to grow on me but my speakers needed some break-in as did the preamp. Things are smoothing out quite nicely. At first I wasn't sure I was going to warm up to the amp however, as usual every... | |
| Sonus Faber Olympica III vs. Focal Electra 1038BE contuzzi maybe because a Google search about a product they are interested in led him here/there. Have a cup of coffee :) |
