| Choices narrowed Rogue RP-1 and Primaluna Prologue Premium Preamps I have a Rogue RP-5 preamp and love it. The RP-5 is the big brother to the RP-1. I did replace the crappy JJ 12au7 tubes in the RP-5 with a quad of NOS Mullard 12au7 tubes and it brought the preamp up to another level. The preamp is dead quiet ... | |
| Just switched from McIntosh C2500/2600 to ARC Ref 6, initial thoughts I am a little curious as to why you are using Emotiva amps with either the McIntosh or ARC? It seems the Emotiva is way out of their price range. I had an Emotiva dac at one time and while it was ok, it wasn't in the league of McIntosh or ARC. ... | |
| Odyssey Stratos- need schematic Doubtful Klaus has schematics he will share. It will probably be more like 3 months before you get it back. I would call Klaus in the late evening as he works nights and see what he says. If you need to return it to him, pick up a cheap amp her... | |
| How to transport used MBL 101 speakers w/o crate? If it were I, I would contact MBL and see what they say. | |
| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? I speak from experience when I say if you do not like the sound of your speakers, no amount of break in, changing cables or components are going to help. 8 years ago, I bought a very highly regarded pair of expensive speakers. They sounded God a... | |
| Conrad Johnson MF2550, What To Expect? I have about 220 hours on the amp and 300 hours on the speakers. I am continually amazed every time I fire up the system. | |
| Newest Aqusition, McIntosh MA6600 Integrated @ejr1953 Thanks very much! I really love this integrated. The quality is unbelievable. Just the feeling of the knobs and switches, so elegant and precise. I asked Mike at Audio Classics to keep his eye out for a nice McIntosh SACD player that ... | |
| Are the folks at Vandersteen ok? The few times I spoke with Richard, he was not jovial and actually sounded annoyed with my questions. | |
| The Music Room Purchased a Conrad-Johnson MF2550 from them. It was in much better condition than what TMR graded it at. It looked brand new to me! I placed the order and they shipped same day. I also purchased a Marantz SA8005 from them. Two flawless transa... | |
| Conrad Johnson MF2550, What To Expect? I have been listening to the main system for a couple hours every day. Getting that Conrad Johnson amp worked out well as it makes the Triton References sound less hi fi ish and more like real music.I just picked up a used McIntosh MA6600 20... | |
| Man this is frustrating I see the VPI branded cables on here for cheap and Discovery Wire makes them It is the same wire your tonearm is wired with. I bought 2 pair here at different times for 100 for one pair and 150 for the other pair in 1 meter length. | |
| Magico S5 Speaker - owners - heard them! Congratulations! I am sure you will be very happy with them, they are top rated. I wouldn't think of changing anything in the system until you have had the speakers in your system for a few weeks. Only then will you be able to decide what needs... | |
| High Pass (Brick Wall/Rumble) Filter Suggestions I use the KAB rumble filter with my VPI Prime. It works as it should and does not decrease the bass or dynamic range. | |
| Schiit Ragnarok Problems (Low QA) I would call them and see what they say first. A loose knob is one thing, but a staticy volume control is another | |
| Conrad Johnson MF2550, What To Expect? Finally.....Today I listened for 4 hours. I let the system warm up for about a half hour, then sat down to enjoy. The equipment I played today was the CJ MF2550 amp, Rogue RP-5 tube pre, Esoteric X-3 SACD Player and the GE Triton Reference speaker... |
