| Best sounding CD player Also own the Ayon CD5s as well as CD35. Use both as Pre/CDP/DAC and sound incredible. | |
| What’s your latest high-end audio purchase? ARC Ref3SE Phono as my first piece of ARC gear! | |
| Direct Drive How does the Denon DP-A100 compare to the Technics models and also older Denons? | |
| Wendell Diller: "You don't wanna put a subwoofer with a Magneplanar; it doesn't work." Read daily, don't post often; but I have some practical pertinent experience here. This year I moved from IRS Betas to Analysis Orions. Huge 7 foot 4 panel system with dedicated bass panels that I believe would compare to 30.7's. Powering the An... | |
| Phono Preamp w/ Rumble Filter To follow up on this for others that may be experiencing the same issue now or in the future. The KAB worked exceptionally. Not only is the rumble gone, but the entire presentation is cleaner and more detailed. The sound quality through my Analysi... | |
| Phono Preamp w/ Rumble Filter @atmasphere - Thank you, I truly appreciate your reply. Not using the Betas currently, but with a Rel line array either way can sacrifice a little bass for fewer headaches. I thought the Denon/Denon combo would be an easy fit. I ended up purchasi... | |
| Phono Preamp w/ Rumble Filter @mlsstl - interesting. Only experiencing the rumble with the turntable, not CDs or stream. Will look into this, thank you! | |
| Phono Preamp w/ Rumble Filter @stereo5 - thank you very much! You describe the exact rabbit hole I didn’t want to go down and knew it was possible. With this piece I can buy any phono preamp I llike and add the rumble filter. Thanks again. | |
| Phono Preamp w/ Rumble Filter Another great suggestion, thank you! | |
| Phono Preamp w/ Rumble Filter @audiosaurusrex - Thanks, I was looking at the Phonos, reading up on it as well. Most comments echo yours. Still considering. Table is about 35 lbs and pretty well damped on its stock feet. Was the Phonos a little noisy, I read a review stating it... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer @hilde45 - It was sarcasm. "Unvarnished" added to "truth" was hyperbole meant to convey irony. I have no "purposes." Sorry it wasn’t clearer. I'd hope that your reading of my other posts make the case (to you, to others) that the video is ridiculo... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer After watching this thread go back and forth, and the OP taking both sides as "the messenger", I'd like to ask the Op to explain this statement from the original post that is his own: "More unvarnished truth from YouTube" - hilde45 Definition fro... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer Ok OP, no disrespect but that was a very ignorant post. None of my 8 pieces of Mc gear did I buy for looks. Nor am I stuck in any way in my decisions. Are you saying that you know for a fact that his Rolland 625's sound better in my system than my... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer Ok, how exactly have they lost a few steps? Especially to Ford, this will be fun. | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer Missing the point. However, I don’t think they’ve lost a few steps in sales and customer satisfaction.. |
