| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear Dave_b ,and you have owned how many Mac amps or preamps? | |
| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear I cant say I agree with Mcintosh being a "status symbol" the way a car can be one, most non audio people have no idea what it is and what it costs, at best if they see it in your home they might confuse it with Macintosh and think it is a computer... | |
| First song to "Blow You Away"... the opening guitair riff on "satisfaction",summer of 65, heard it for the 1st time on the radio,man did my head turn. | |
| VTL TL2.5 Preamp I agree with the above comments, I have one and have used it with both a VTL st85 and my Mac 252, sounds very nice with both, very nice phone stage too, just a fine value, I heard VTL prices are going up,so you may want to snag one now. | |
| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? Hello, no offense taken, but I have sold over 3,000 cars and drove and serviced them all, the reason my ferrari analogy was, well Ferrari is a very misunderstood car by most people, they think they are "tempermental',"expensive to repair and mucho... | |

| Anyone going to see the Police? I like the Police, but doubt I will go, too bad they are playing the ultra big arenas and stadiums, I mean there are only 3 of them, very few bands can come alive at the big arenas, Mccartney can do it, Aerosmith can do it,Queen did do it, etc. I ... | |

| What is the best amp for Sonus Faber Cremonas? I agree with the 1st response, try a different pre amp. I would go SS and yes try a Mcintosh, I have owned both the c2200 and the c46 at the same time, thru my Mac 252, I prefer the c46. to me it had more guts without being bright and had more def... | |
| Linn Kolector or Wokonda preamp? I have owned both and had them at the same time, I felt the Wakonda was better and noticeably so, sometimes a quick demo in the store doesn't show everything, I still have the Wakonda, use it with a Linnlk100, for the money a nice sounding duo. |
