| Add 2/3 channel Amp to Arcam AVR 750 Receiver for better 2 channel sound? The problem is the preamp section of the Arcam will still be in the signal path and will be a significant bottleneck because the preamp section of your AVR sucks. They pretty much all do. What you should do is get a good stereo integrated amp with... | |
| HT bypass -[ which RCA Interconnect Check out Pine Tree Audio. | |
| Arcam AVR Receivers I compared Arcam directly to Yamaha Aventage and thought the Yammy sounded much better. Clearer with better imaging and 3D soundstage, and this was with B&W 805 D3 speakers. I was very surprised. And they’re much more reliable. No brainer ... | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps Patrick didn’t refer me to the agent. The agent introduced me to Patrick and I spoke with Patrick about it. Your story is now contradicting itself This is what you wrote before Let me put it this way, when I asked Pat about how much it ... | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps So Patrick referred you to an agent? Why the hell would he do that??? Nothing about this seems right. | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps Here’s the problem — SMcAudio is only Steve and Patrick so whatever salesperson you spoke to does not work for SMcAudio as you imply. | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps @fishagedone So, here’s the thing, I just flat out don’t believe your little story and it strains credibility in every way. I don’t know what your motivation is, but for you to come here and try to denigrate a company of the highest integrity is ... | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps @fishagedone I’m sorry, but this just doesn’t pass the smell test. I and many people here have dealt with SMcAudio for years and they’ve been nothing but straight shooters. Plus, as far as I know they don’t have a sales force. This sounds like... | |
| Six DAC Comparison I sell my self Denafrips products ,I hear a lot of equipment to the many audio get togethers I have gone to over the past 2 years , in the $3k range the Pontus Gen 15 is not a bias it is far better built then anything in the $3k price class but ... | |
| ???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard??? An integrated wouldn’t be my “end-game” amp. Get a non-functional McCormack DNA 0.5 for around 500 bucks and send it to SMcAudio and have them rebuild it for you. Absolute SOTA amp on the relative cheap, and then just buy the preamp flavor of yo... | |

| What exactly is PRaT??? @atmasphere Hey Ralph thanks so much for at least trying to explain what the hell I’m missing. I get that a system needs to be fast enough to reproduce music effectively, but I just don’t get it. It’s not a “thing” for me I guess. Tone. Imagi... | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? A please define for me what "imaging" and "3D soundstage" mean. In relation to what? And why are they important? @dogearedaudio Really? Seriously??? Why are you even here if you don’t get these simple concepts? | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? Speakers from Joseph Audio, Magico, Audio Physic, Vandersteen, Totem, Marten, Thiel, get imaging and soundstage. Simple in your face speakers like JBL or Klipsch speakers, not so much. They are in your face and can’t capture the beauty and Grace... | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? @dogearedaudio Yeah, I agree timing, pace, and rhythm, whatever that is is important and significant, but I just don’t get or sense it. When you can “see” the three dimensional images of musicians performing in a 3D space I get that. That they’re... |
