| Mac 252, 353, 402? I own the 352 and have considered and auditioned the 402. The 402 is a 352 with more power and LED lighting. I listened to the 252 but it doesn't have the dual differential output design that the 352 and 402 have, therefore the noise floor is not ... | |
| Linn Ikemi vs Resolution Audio Opus 21 I have never heard or heard of the Opus 21 but as Ikemi owner I can tell you I have not run across a player that would make me sell or trade. I love the warmth and acuracy the Ikemi retreives from the disc. | |
| Buy MacIntosh gear w/o auditioning? As a current and long time Mc owner I can only say I keep coming back. Recently I listened to BAT ampos and decided that they sound better. But I cannot and have decided will not trade away from Mc. Not only is it great and dependable gear. I am a... | |

| Who can help me with a ghost in my system Another ingredient to this story is. I spoke with a local rep where I purcahsed the MX135 and he stated from my decription that the noise sounds like a "digital bleed" and not a RFI/EMI or ground fault. Does that make sense? It does to me. I just ... | |
| Who can help me with a ghost in my system Jameswei- I am using RCA's since the marantz doesn't have balanced out puts. That thought crossed my mind as well. I spoke with Marantz this AM and he suggested I try plugging the 9500 direct in the same outlet as the Mc. Right now the Mc is direc... | |

| Why do I need a phono-pre??? Depends on your cartridge and receiver/pre-amp. You may not. What do you have? | |
| Velodyne DD-series subwoofer Great subs, the determining factor should be real estate. How much floor space do you want to dedicate. I have a room similar in size and have the DD-12 and it does just fine. If anything I might recommend, since the price is right for you, get 2)... | |
| McIntosh MX119/134/135 pre/pro or Krell HTS 7.1 I have owned the MX132-MX134 and now the MX 135 and I can say the 135 definetly exceeds the performance of the 134 in both analog 2 channel and digital 5.1 channel. The movie soundtracks that I have such a U571-River Wild-Saving Private Ryan etc h... | |
