| Stereo pre-amp with AV processor? Seif, I am at a loss on Pre-Amps in the price range that you are seeking. It has been a few years since I made a pre-amp purchase and at that point I upgraded within the Audio Research product line and had my mind set on what I was going to buy. I... | |
| Stereo pre-amp with AV processor? By using a separate Stereo Pre-Amp vs 2 Channels of a AV PrePro you should notice an improvement and at the very least you will be able to run only the 2 Channel side of your system and not consume power for components not in use. That alone shoul... | |
| Good Pre-Amps For McIntosh I have had McIntosh pre/pro’s with Mc amps MC7205, MC352 and now Mc402, and switched to a Audio Research Ls-26 and now a Ref5se and am much happier with the ARC pre-amp sound. Although I have been considering Ayre but haven’t yet. | |
| Oppo 103D streaming issues Did you try re-booting the unit, un plug the Oppo and press each button on the front panel to drain any stored capacitance. The see if it works better, sometimes all components with micro processing will need a full capacitance re-boot, or at leas... | |
| Does your system hate you when you ignore her? First off, my system is a HIM, I cannot afford a HER! But at time I sit to listen and he, just doesn’t draw me in, but other times is is like an old friend with nothing but good news. But I think it is me and the mood I am in, not realizing that l... | |
| Dealer Discount I think 10% is good, it covers the sales tax in most cases. I know some dealers won’t discount, and if they back it up with good service during and after the sale, they earn it. But I usually get at least 10 sometimes 15 or 20, depending on the pr... | |
| Most annoying song, period. Tip Toe thru the Tulips-Tiny Tim | |
| And yet another of our heroes passes into the night, RIP Ginger Baker! What a tremendous loss. His drumming talent rates among the highest. | |
| ARC Ref 3 - thoughts? tattooed, thank you and it lends to my theory that, I really don’t think ARC comes out with a new model unless they are confident it is better than it’s predecessor. Case in point, when they came out with the LS27 it was so good they revamped the ... | |
| RMAF 2019! I wish I had a better grip on the parking and getting around. Tons of walking and on a bad knee I was worn after one day and didn't go back. Venue was sooooo much better and next year they are moving it back to October, which is better for me and ... | |
| ARC Ref 3 - thoughts? I own a REF5se and love it. Years ago I had an LS26 and it needed some repair and the dealer lent me a REF3 while mine was in the shop. First taste of heroin is always free, right! I got hooked and started to save. Then the REF5 came out and that ... | |
| McIntosh Tube amps or Solid State?? Advices needed!! What is your pre-amp? I have owned a MC402 for years and have used it with solid state and 2 tubed pre-amps. I prefer the tube pre-amp and solid state amp combo, although I have never had a tubed amp, so preference is based on what I have heard in... | |
| The Music Room is Hiring - Audio Repair Tech Wanted I agree as well. They are posting an audio related question which can result in someone getting a job. And where better to look than an audio exchange. Good luck to any techs seeking work, with the decline of brick and mortar stores, there must be... | |
| bluesound node 2i with chord quest I am using a Node2 which sounds the same as the 2i or so I am told. I have it connected via a Kimber DV60 coax to a Cutest and after an hour of just listening before I go to bed, I recommend the combo. I tried four or five DACs and landed here. A... |
