| Audio Research LS28SE vs McIntosh C53 I realize that tubes are not prone to defect, however they can fail. Just as transistors can fail and the cure for a failed tube is much easier than that of a failed transistor or cap. But it is still a possibility of change that I am drawn to inv... | |
| Audio Research LS28SE vs McIntosh C53 Yes-ura-pirate, thanks for your advice and yes I do plan to listen to the Mac before I decide. Or any other brand that pops up as a candidate for the change. Jallan, I had no idea that ARC was planning to re-enter the SS market. Yes I would reall... | |
| Audio Research LS28SE vs McIntosh C53 ghdprentice, thank you for your very informative response. I have had McIntosh preamps although the last 3 were pre-pro. I have had 3 AR pre amps now and I do really like the LS28SE currently in my system. A recent bout with tube failure at 1900 h... | |

| PS Audios new PMG series.. Soix, I would have to agree that it is dying, but it saddens me that all my non-hybrid disc will join my 8 tracks when and if my Oppo dies. Ironically my first couple SACD players were Marantz then Ayre and now Oppo. I actually still have a brand ... | |

| Bad idea? Depends on the cable. Have you looked at used? | |
| Modern equivalent of Cardas Golden Cross I recently replaced my Golden Cross speaker cables with Clear Reflection. Although vastly improved, I would not characterize them as a Golden Cross comparative. I have replaced a number of Golden Reference with Clear Reflection and find them to si... | |
| Does loudness play a part in your appreciation? I used to feel the need to play my music loud. But when I bought my new speakers one of the criteria I set was low volume listening. I find that I have really grown used to a much lower volume and less fatigue than before. I bought Sonus Faber Oly... | |
| Linn LP 12 Sondek which version Although it’s been a while since I owned my LP12, I would recommend that you follow Dover’s advice. Get it upfront as it will be cheaper in the long run and you will spend more time enjoying your table than waiting for it to get set up each time y... | |

| Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby? I’m done till I raise more money. I find people on street corners don’t do well to drop extra change in your cup when your cardboard sign says “money needed for new DAC or powder cable” | |
