| Why nobody uses McIntosh with Vandersteen? I don't see why it wouldn't be compatible. Contact Richard vandersteen see what he says. I wouldn't go with a dealers recommendation as they are usually bias to what they sell.My local dealer tells me that I need to get away from my McIntosh Pre/p... | |
| Ayre CX7e vs Linn Majik cdps I have felt that the Ayre not only has a more analog presentation, but the information has a "natural" sound.I really can't dig up any memory of the Linn out performing the Ayre in any area. I guess the one thing that I miss about the Ikemi,and it... | |
| Ayre CX7e vs Linn Majik cdps I had a Linn Ikemi and liked it very much and sold it to buy an Ayre C5xe and recently added the MP upgrade. I realize these are two differnt models but I can tell you the Ayre is better sounding than the Linn and not by a small margin. I have hea... | |
| Upgrade Mcintosh C39 Preamp to tube suggestions? If you want to break away from McIntosh and want to spend 4000 or less. I should preface this with I ahd a C39 for years and have since gone through MX130,132,134 and now a MX135. I wanted to add a tube pre amp to my system and maintain a 5.1 surr... | |
| Best version of Moody Blues "Days of Future Passed My pick, if you can find it, is the MFSL vinyl copy. The SACD is OK I was really dispointed in the recent re-releases on SACD. But the original tapes were probably the weak link in the chain. It is a shame since the MBs had some great albums and w... | |
| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed The arrow indicates "current flow" as with IC cables. | |
| mcintosh mc402+c46 or mc402+c2200,2300 Depends on what your needs are. I would eliminate #3 as an option as the 402 is a wonderfull amp. If you want the tube sound pick the 2200 over the 2300. If you need theater pass thru unity gain then get the 2300. The 46 is solid state and will pr... | |
| Question Regarding Tuner And Satellite Radio Philjojet, that is an interesting question. I wonder how one could seperate that digital signal from the signal feeding the pre-pro? A "Y" adapter maybe. Or maybe it would be better to upgrade the pre-pro to one with a better DAC? Something to inv... | |
| Any Blu Ray players made in the USA? McIntosh MVP881 BR which will be using a lot of Denon/Marantz parts inside but assembled and balance of parts will be built in Binghamton New York. But get your wallet out! | |
| Who has the oldest bottle of Stylast? I am still on my first one and I think it is about 9 yrs old. I have used the Lyra SPT and it finally is gone so I now have bought the MoFi as it was highly recommended when I was placing an order for another bottle of Lyra. So with 2 bottles of c... | |
| Supertube Question Can't speak to the amp improvemnets but I want to add that I have added the BAT supertubes to my LS26 and have found it well worth the investment. I can only deduce that if we both found a marked inprovement in pre-amp performance thatyou would re... | |
| add remote control AC on/off for power amp? How about a "Clapper"?Just kidding. Do you have a 12v trigger on the amp, you don't mention what Brand or Model. If anything in your system does look at the PS audio product line. A lot ofpower conditioner/power strips have this feature. | |
| Mini Home Theater Speakers ? Take a look at the Mirage Omni Sats as well. I use them in my bedroom and with a sub they do quite well. They eliminate a sweet spot and produce a pretty good range of dynamics for the money. If you want something for sitting and listening to 2 ch... | |
| Sub blowing Christmas lights? I can't imagine that the sub is doing it. I can't think that an over load on the circuit would blow the fuse in the lights. It would blow the circuit breaker. I am sure the plug on the lights are polarized so you can't try turning the plug 180 deg... | |
| Revel F12 amplifier? I think adding a seperate amp aside from the amplification provided in the Integra would add considerable sonics. As the power supply in the receiver would be able to dedicate itself to the duties of a pre-amp. And the amp would then become a new ... |
