| TRL Dude Dilemna The Viva's have a purity to the sound and a "thereness" to the sound that the McIntosh does lack. The Viva's also seem to go deeper in the bass, but lack some control in comparison.It just is not practical to use them all the time and certainly no... | |
| TRL Dude Dilemna Wow...thanks for all the good comments. In my fairly tale ending...I find some way to make the Dude and Viva's happy together by getting Paul to adjust the output impedance and then also get a pair of Samsons to replace the MC402...... | |
| TRL Dude Dilemna The Dude I have has one 6SN7 per side, but it does have larger caps. It is the newer chassis design. | |
| TRL Dude Dilemna Grannyring, I have also been thinking about the Atlas. I bought the MC-402 for when I use the system for home theater. It would be awesome if one amp could serve both home theater and two-channel...The Atlas also has the 12V trigger making ithome ... | |
| TRL Dude Dilemna I have been in touch with Paul and he has been very helpful. We talked about using something like Jensen transformers, but he does not like the sound of them. We discussed altering the input impedance of the amps..but when we found out that the Vi... | |

| New favorite VINYL Album? I have this one a little while now, but Jamie Cullum's new Pursuit album on 45 RPM vinyl is very good and not too expensive ($25)...I was playing it just this weekend after I put Stillpoints under my Technics SP-10/Basis Vector/Denon DL301 combo... | |

I do have some Stillpoints on the way as well as Walker Valid points and Mapleshade triple points to try under my current plinth. I suppose my thoughts are that any of the alte... | |

| iMac Combo Headphone/Optical Out Port Cable My son has an iMac in his room connected to his Panasonic receiver via a long (12Ft) mini-toslink cable I found for a reasonable price at monoprice. Take a look at product ID 1558 for an example | |
| An analog question for those who record I have heard many good things about the Korg MR-1, MR-1000 which allows you to record in DSD or double DSD resolution. Some have said in that mode, it is very close to the native analog source. You can transfer the files to your PC...arrange a pla... | |
| Warmest sounding Green Mountain speaker? I have a pair of the C-3s, the matching Vortex center channel and a pair of Europa's in my bedroom system. I think the GMAs just let the music through. Roy's time and phase alignment with low order crossover and minimal cabinet coloration approach... | |
