| Are Avalon still in Bussines @mofimadness That's kind of a poor excuse on their part. For the uber expensive speakers they sell, they could at least have someone answering the phone. Some of these high end company's are really clueless on making good business. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? listened to the new Jimi Hendrix CD. Amazon delivered it on a Sunday no less. Also listened to my newest favorite, "The Devil To Pay" by Kim Simmons & Savoy Brown. Only got to listen to the main rig for 2 hours today. | |
| Magnepan 3.7i Amplifiers Aesthetix or Modwright? Thoughts? I wish I had the room for it. | |
| Magnepan 3.7i Amplifiers Aesthetix or Modwright? Thoughts? What do you NOT like about the Mac? It certainly has enough power and current. Current is over 60 amps per channel and probably closer to 90 amps. | |
| Timbernation Platform Problems @joecasey While I am happy that your rack met your expectations, the maple platform I bought from Timbernation was a horror show and I am definitely not some illogical troll. IMHO, the person at Timbernation that did the work on that platform sho... | |
| Soooooooo many possibilities...! I bought a McIntosh C2500 preamp in almost new condition from Audio Classics for 4300.00. It is a great tube preamp and sounds wonderful with the McIntosh MC152 solid state amp. I have had many tube preamps and this reminds me most of my former ... | |
| Michael Fremer's system @geoffkait Care to elaborate? | |
| Michael Fremer's system @czarivey He most certainly did not. He has paid for almost everything in his system. Unlike Johnathan Valin who reviews the best stuff and keeps it on long term loans forever. Where did you get that info from? | |
| disc player upgrade bug: Esoteric vs EMM vs PS Audio The Esoteric is a great spinner. Doubt you will be able to get something better for less than 15K, and then again, how much better? Law of diminishing returns definitely applies here. | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? Owning a lot of McIntosh, I am in the musicality camp. I don't care how accurate it is, I want the music to sound pleasing to me. If I can listen to hours on end without fatigue, then my goal has been met. | |
| McIntosh MC501 or Audio Research DS450M for Magnepan 1.7 I believe those ARC amps have been listed here 2 or 3 times now. If I remember the Stereophile review, they insinuated they were more on the detail oriented analytical side. I went from Classe to Odyssey to Conrad-Johnson, Rogue, Parasound and now... | |
| speaker cable prices I feel for you. I need 22 foot pairs of speaker cable and the cost is more than my first brand new car. I paid 2500 for my first brand new car in 1971. 47 years later, that 2500 would be more like 5-6K. | |
| What Do You Think Of This? I own an MR85 in one system and an MR88 in my main system which replaced the Magnum Dynalab MD100. Nothing like owning an Mac. | |
| What Do You Think Of This? Forgot to mention, I also threw in a 6 foot Pangea 14SE Mark II power cord which I never even told the customer about. I threw it in as a bonus as I was too lazy to post another Audiogon ad. | |
| What Do You Think Of This? @antman That is a good idea for future transactions. Thank you! I never would have thought of that. |
