| 804 d3 amplification I own McIntosh solid state and it is anything but bright. Lush comes to mind. | |
| Audible Illusions M--Are you using built-in phono or external phono preamp? CDP=cd player | |
| Which should I choose? I have an Esoteric UX3 SACD player which uses the Burr Brown PCM1704 R to R ladder dac and the transport is all metal including the tray which is the VRDS Neo transport. The player was 8500 and it is extremely smooth sounding and something you ca... | |
| WTB - Polk LS 70 It would be best to post a want to buy ad in the classified section here. Thats how I bought certain cables and a tube preamp. | |
| One pair of speakers, two different speaker wire Highly doubtful. | |
| A visit to the (Audio) Doctor +1 for Audio Doctor. It is nice to read positive experiences about High End Dealers. | |
| Considering Wyred 4 Sound DAC-2 DSD purchase I found the presentation to be very forward, I felt like I was sitting in row 1. It was also brighter in my system than the Dac 1. The dac 1 uses the same ESS dac so it had to be other things in the new dac contributing to that sound. I lived w... | |
| Considering Wyred 4 Sound DAC-2 DSD purchase I had the DAC2 with dsd and femto clock upgrade. I found the sound to be more in your face than it was to my previous Wyred DAC1. I sold mine and bought the Sony music server. I am one very happy camper. | |

| Ohm 2000s at NY Audio Show In the early to mid 70's, I lusted after a pair of the Ohm F speakers. If I remember it right Harry Pearson from TAS didn't like them and said as much. I heard them at I think was Tech Hi Fi powered by a Phase Linear 700B amp. It sounded tota... | |
| Would you buy a 12-14 year old Integrated? I bought a used MA6500 a few months back from Audio Classics. I have no idea where that would be compared to the 6900. Make sure the amp has the autotransformers as those are reason for the full and lush McIntosh sound. | |
| Audible Illusions M--Are you using built-in phono or external phono preamp? I agree with tooblue. I have owned all 3 iterations of this preamp; original Modulus 3, Modlus3A and Modulus3B. The phono preamp is of excellent and very high end quality. I suffered with the dual volume controls because the phono preamp was s... | |
| Thoughts on my New Rogue Rp-5 Preamp You echo my sentiments exactly. I love my RP-5. | |
| What should I buy to replace my Herron VTSP 1 There was a couple of used Calypso Preamps advertised here last week. Not sure of price. |
