| Mcintosh C41, any thoughts,compared to c45, c46 thanks for the input,good advice. | |
| Older higher end or newer mid-fi...better bargain? In my opinion a good amp is a good amp regardless of when it was made, same with preamps etc, they may need a service, such as recapping Naim etc, but it is all on how it sounds. | |
| Not much buzz about BAT lately? I think 5 or 6 pieces on display is good, something in stock would be better, I mean is everybody buying blind ??The dealer I am talking about didn't have anything on demo and the amp I was interested was only 1500 retail...thats NOT what i call "... | |
| Not much buzz about BAT lately? typical of hi end audio, new line comes out, gets great press,then the press moves on, I do read the mags,but I never follow what they say,I just take it with a grain of salt, they are in the business of selling magazines,to do that they have to k... | |

| B&W 805N\Mac ma 6900 good match or mistake should be a great match, I have B&Wcm2s and they smoke with Mac tube hear and a MC252 ss amp, the Mac sound is very lush and full with good dynamics and detail, it wont jump out at you but the more you listen the better it gets,alot of stuff w... | |

| VTL or ARC ? hi I like VTL,own a 2.5 and a st85, had a arc vs 55 found I preferred the VTL. the 2.5 is one of the great bargains in hi end audio...just a killer for the money. | |

| Broke and still not happy The reason i say this is because i do listen to a wide range of music, from Aerosmith to mary black and lots in between. I play drums and have been in a few bands, have also done a full length,pro recorded cd in Boston,my point is we don't know wh... | |
| Broke and still not happy I dont agree with that,music is music,rock, jazz,pop,classical etc...a good system should sound good on whatever type you play on it,sure some systems might shine a bit on quartets or full orchestral, but a real hi end system should sound good, ve... | |
| Broke and still not happy I would star over and start simple, forget expensive interconnects and wire, start with basic cable, you hear what you hear, I have owned aheard in my house lots of hi end gear, some sounds good, great and awful. I have tubes and ss. Try to fund a... | |
