| Favorite Pianists When it comes to Classical piano, for me it's Ashkenazy, period. But another guy I've really enjoyed lately is John Bayless--if you've never heard his music, check it out. | |
| Music you HATE the most but once you LOVED it I can certainly relate to "Puerto", as I too listened to Oldies and Countrry music. All my country cd's I sold, and even tho I have hundreds of oldies, rarely do I listen to them. I am now into Classical, Smooth Jazz and Opera. What a change! My a... | |
| Using 2 Subwoofers My room is very similar in size to yours, and I find my single Velodyne F1500R is more than enough bass. Location is on one side, in the center it did not produce much bass. My main speakers are ADS 1590/2's, full range in their own right. But sti... | |
| Summertime ss amp Question Check out McIntosh's MC7100 power amp, 100 wpc @ 8 ohms, 150 wpc @ 4 ohms, THD @ .005 maximum. I have one, and it runs so cool and would be perfect for your needs. AND it's a great sounding amp. The later models like mine, have balanced/unbalanced... | |
| Yamaha DSP-1A Remote help You do want the RAV160. You can get a brand new one for $74.95 @ NewRemoteControl.com. I just checked on it and it is available. Hey, the DSP-A1 is a great unit! | |
| The CD player is dead....... The last paragraph by MLsstl says it all; it's whatever makes you happy. I am of the "comb over" crowd only in age, but hard drives & dacs hold no thrill for me. Having come from "45's" to LP's to cd's, I like it when I can see a disc and read... | |
| Best guitar riff, black and white,pretty woman? Having grown up with Orbison, this dvd was pretty special to me. My favorite cut, period, was "Down The Line" and I've almost worn that track out. In fact, I copied the soundtrack of this disc to cd, and that allows for even more fun. "Mean Woman ... | |
| Vinyl pops and clicks: Can they be eliminated?? You bet they can be eliminated! Dump the vinyl and stick with cd's! | |
| Why are there so many unopened amps, ect for sale? I've wondered about this myself, and about 6 months ago I purchased a NIB, unopened C15 preamp on Ebay. Turns out it was just as advertised and I got a heck of a deal on it. Mac does not warranty anything sold on the Internet, however. As it turns... | |
| What is the best sounding CD Changer. Concerning the Sony SCD-CE595, which is what I assume you guys are talking about, there are at least 12 of them for sale on EBay, ranging from $35-$92. The $92 ones are refurbished. | |
| What is the best sounding CD Changer. I have to take exception with Metralla on the Sony SCD-C333ES, and the 555ES. Having owned them, they may have been great in their day, but I wouldn't have one today! If you look carefully at the ads for sale of them, there's always something wron... | |
| Compare sound of McIntosh C37 and C15 I am now in a position to answer my own thread. I had a C37 for 4 years, but like many of us, got the itch to try surround sound in my audio room, a Yamaha DSP-A1, which has a good track record in sound.So I sold the C37. Not being totally satisfi... | |
| Anyone Use A CD Recorder For Main Play Back? Zar, I have the same CD recorder you have, and the recorder was designed for playback use on the right side as you are doing. Why should it hurt it? I also like the sound from the right tray. If money is tight, use it as you are. | |
| Balanced vs Unbalanced? According to McIntosh's manuals with their balanced gear, if your interconnect cables are 6' or under, unbalanced connections are quite satisfactory. However, longer than 6', a 40db advantage in noise reduction is possible. Whether you can actuall... | |
| Mcintosh C39 pre question Have you checked out the roger-russell website? That model is covered quite well. |
