| The majic of early 1970's rock and it's influence- I think many many years from now historians will look at the 50s thru the 70s a special time in contmeporary music,not to be repeated. many great musicians passed thru that window. | |
| 1970's Audio Research Equipment, worth having? one thing is for sure stay away from a d90 man did those things blow up, the d250 on the other hand was a fine amp and very reliable even with all those tubes, d79 also was a great amp very big and heavy though, same with the 250 | |
| Naim Cd Players I agree witht the above, if it sounds good ,buy it,don't get hung up on "new and improved" etc...just because something is newer and more money doesn't mean it will sound better etc. I always have an open ear though and am willing to listen, like ... | |
| Naim Cd Players Hello thats what makes the audio world go round etc, I too have some Linn equipment as well as tubes,No question naim cd players do have a dynamic sound..to each his own,thanks. | |
| Naim Cd Players I tried Naim cd5, cdx2 and even anxps2....they just didnt do it for me...not that they were bad, they weren't. I just found them too electronic sounding...and a cdx2 with an xps2 is quite expensive...I found myself when listening to Naim cd player... | |
| BAT vs. Mcintosh? this is a good one, I own a fair amount of Mac gear and am curious to the BAT sound, never heard it though, at this level, you must hear them in your house,maybe tough to do but is the only way. | |
| 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... | |
| McIntosh C-2200 Preamp I have had mine for about 4 months and love it,"bright and lean" are def. not the words I would use, but we all hear what we hear, I find it very open and lush and musical, nice flexibility and dead quiet...I use it with both solid state and tupe ... | |
| 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. | |
| Amplification Recommendations Please VTL it 85 is rock solid and a great product, so is the 2.5 preamp |
