| Seeking Coltrane Blue Train DSD download If you know how to get the .dsf file off the SACD, I would be happy to send you my disc. There is software that I believe can accomplish that but not sure how to do it. | |
| New to analog @inna,The new Technics SL1200 series of tables are NOT DJ tables. That is a total misconception. The only thing the new ones have in common with the older ones are the looks, nothing else. | |
| Truly Balanced Cheaper Preamplifiers? What about an Atmosphere preamp, they are truly balanced. | |
| Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change? I would move up to the Kanta 3. Speaker upgrades can make a big difference. You already have excellent electronics, and changing cables will not be any kind of huge impact. Hence, the more expensive speakers would be your best bet. | |
| McIntosh c2700 users please chime in? Since McIntosh is manufacturing the C2700, I would check with McIntosh on the availibility of the parts. | |
| McIntosh C2500 digital inputs preference I believe the USB won’t be active unless you have the windows or Apple drivers for it. Thought I read it in the owners manual. Not that crazy about the DAC in the C2500, I actually prefer the dac in the Esoteric better, but some Classical sounds... | |
| McIntosh C2500 digital inputs preference I use an Acrolink digital cable for the coaxial input. I bought the cable on a close out, retailed for $900, believe I paid around $460. I have an Esoteric SACD player which I connect via the Acrolink to the C2500 coax input. The Esoteric is wi... | |
| Frustrated McIntosh Owner @piramis,you are correct but if you shut off the unused inputs you won’t have to scroll too far. | |
| What ever happened to.... I have used them for over 30 years. Yes, they do the job they were designed to do. I use 3 in my system. In my secondary system, I use one to hold a lightweight DAC in place. The power cord and interconnects which are all audiophile approved ... | |
| Matching JBL and McIntosh @danonano,Do the tubes help nullify the forward midrange? I am hoping to nullify that forwardness by using a tube amp and SS preamp. Does it help or not? If it doesn’t, there would be no reason to change. | |
| My hearing deficits are becoming clear... I believe MC has a lot in common with our prez, they just can’t help themselves. | |
| Pro-Ject Extension 12 to SME Model 10 I would assume an SME table would be better than any Project turntable. I have no experience, just an opinion. | |
| MC275 pair vs single with sensitive speakers Nope | |
| Emotiva XPR-5 Repair Emotiva is low cost low-fi. I speak from experience of having owned one at one time. How they can’t support older amps is a tragedy. I wouldn’t buy a pair of slippers from them. Shame. You buy junk for pennies on the dollar you get junk. | |
| McIntosh Autoformers and Speaker Impedance Dips (KEF Reference 3’s) I am running JBL L100 Classic speakers which are rated at 4 ohms. My McIntosh MA6600 is driving them off the 8 ohm taps. I getthe tightest bass and better control. On the 4 ohm taps, the sound was anemic. It doesn’t matter what the rating on the s... |
