| Rookie Question, maybe Try them all and use the ones that sound best to you. There is no right or wrong. | |
| Power amp/integrated amp suggestions for SUPER POWER HUNGRY/INEFFICIENT SPEAKERS A BIG McIntosh. | |
| Any Paradigm Persona 3f and GoldenEar Reference comparisons? Of course they do, there is probably more profit margin in that line. | |
| Trying different output impedance taps with tube amps I had the same experience. In my case I was running a McIntosh solid state amp with the auto transformers. I was using the 8 ohm taps for my GE Triton Reference speakers. On a whim I tried the 4 ohm taps, and Holy smokes, what a huge diffferenc... | |
| What amp next for Vandersteens? I drove my 2ci speakers with a Classe Ten amp and Audible Illusions Modulus 3 tube preamp. Using Audioquest cables it was a match made in Heaven and kept me happy for 10 | |
| Rogue RP 1 or Super Magnum 99 The Mullard reissues made in Russia are not that great. The ones made in England are the best and run 120.00 per tube. You only need2 of them compared to the RP-5. | |
| Any Paradigm Persona 3f and GoldenEar Reference comparisons? I have owned Paradigm speakers before but not the Persona 3F Unless they changed their house sound, I always found them to be very bright with too much detail. They were certainly not for me. I do own the Triton References, and they are a perfectl... | |
| Inexpensive Tube Amps If you buy the cheap Chinese garbage, make sure your house has good fire insurance. | |

You can rattle the fillings in your teeth if so inclined. Mids and highs are very smooth and they image like mini-monitors. Wi... | |
| mc602 Hopefully, you will live longer than 20 years, (myself as well). Just use it, Mac equipment is made to last 50 years or more. | |
| Rogue RP 1 or Super Magnum 99 If you want some of that tube magic back, pick up 4 Mullard NOS 12au7. Get the ones made in India, they are the same as the British ones only cheaper. I paid 60.00 each for them when I had the RP-5 and it transformed the preamp. | |
| Power Cord for Pass Int 60-Under 1K used A nice Shunyata power cord might be just what you need. | |
| ESOTERIC K-07X VS Mcintosh MCD 550 Which is better ? @bultaco Thank you very much. Enjoy them. | |
| Am I dreaming? @mofimadness It isn't just the sound of the Mac, it is the fit and finish, the silky feel of the controls, the resale value. At this point in my life, I want musical, I care less about total accuracy and details. I d... | |
| Would you change your amp selection knowing...? @kijanki Because someone told me when I bought the Odyssey that the Goertz cables can possibly make the amp oscillate. I didn't own Goertz so it wasn't an issue. |
