| Inexpensive Tube Amps If you buy the cheap Chinese garbage, make sure your house has good fire insurance. | |
| Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range Well, in my system, the Triton Refs are all positives. Deep articulate and tuneful bass that goes all the way down. 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. | |
| Would you change your amp selection knowing...? @kijanki No, I am saying just the opposite. | |
| Would you change your amp selection knowing...? @kiganki "then amp that oscillates was likely designed with shortcuts to improve specifications (or poorly designed).". It is obvious you know nothing about Odyssey amps. They are more honest than most audio manufacturers. Visit them at one ... | |
| Am I dreaming? @mofimadnessWell, it certainly is for me | |
| So many integrated options -- McIntosh 8900, Levinson 585, Lyngdorf 2170, Anthem STR, I have an older McIntosh integrated with a great phono stage and dac. The dac isn't upgradable but I also use one of their SACD players so that didn't matter to me. The Mac will be the last integrated you buy and it will hold its value as wel... | |
| How to STOP PayPal from consistent breaking and breaching privacy. I have done over 100+ transactions with PayPal from $10.00 up to $7500.00 without ever a hitch. I do have one of their business debit cards but only use it for shipping what I sold here. | |
| Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II and What Bookshelf Speakers I second the JBL, they are a Rock speaker and very tube friendly. Harbeth speakers are not really designed for Rock. | |
| Would you change your amp selection knowing...? When I bought an Odyssey amp years ago, I was warned NOT to use the Goertz flat cables because they would put the amp into oscillation. |
