| Aesthetix Calypso Signature vs. ARC REF 3 Thanks Gandme. But I think in compilation of what I have read and heard I will be happier with the ARC. I have decided (due to economic reasons) to wait and buy a LS27 when one comes available. I wanted to look at Modwright but was actually told b... | |
| McIntosh MX-130 MX130 Pro Logic only for ambience? Sacdlee, in order to connect you SACD six channel output to the MX130 you MUST have the six chanel input. There is no other way to my knowledge that it can be done. Sorry. | |
| Music as transportation and time machine.. Amen to that. Each song can take you somewhere. And yes Paul Simon's new album is very impressive, I definetly hear that connection to Graceland mentioned in some reviews. He really is a talented artist with a long and creative career. I'll bet ea... | |

| Is it worth upgrading fr McIntosh MC402 to MC501? If anything I would sell the 402 and buy a 452 if you want to upgrade. I think the newer power supplies in the 452 would provide a more noticeable improvement than the extra power. I have a 402 and would love to get the 452 but it doesn't fit my b... | |

| PS audio Ultimate outlet or Quintet? I had a 20 amp UO for a few years and then bought a Quintet. I believe it is better as it is newer. PS Audio claims to have made improvements. But I use it only on a few components and it is plugged into a Running Springs Jaco. So as far as sonics... | |
| Mcintosh MX 150 any one heard it yet? Tacomafan, did you own any Mcintosh pre-pro's before the MX150 e.g. Mx135 Mx136 etc.? If so how would you compare the 2 channel sound to any of those? | |
| Question: Is it "Tone Arm" or is it "Tonearm"? ToanAhrm! | |
| Is McIntosh a stepping stone into HI/FI? I think it is a two way street. I have seen people move from the brands mentioned to McIntosh and some that have had McIntosh and continued on to other brands. McIntosh offers a good sound to my ears and also a very good quality build for the mone... | |
| DVD-A player - while they still exist At your price range you may look at the Mcintosh line as well. I see a new MVP871 new in box listed from time to time here for 2100.00 I think RecycledAudio a memeber sells them. | |
| Best turntable for 500? Doesn't Rega have a RP1 at 445.00 fitted with a Ortofon MM cart. If she needs a phono stage you 55.00 toward one in the 500.00 budget. | |
| Cat-proofing your speakers... I have two books "100 Uses for a Dead Cat" and the sequel "100 More Uses for a Dead Cat" Once you do the deed I would be happy to make some suggestions. The most creative is have a taxidermist install a pencil sharpener just beneath the tail:)But ... | |
| Nitty Gritty 1.5Fi vs. VPI HW16.5vs. Okki Nokki I also sold my Nitty Gritty years ago for the 16.5 and am so ahppy that I did. I did get rid of the VPI plastic nut and bought a TW weights record clamp that works great. The 16.5 is a simple but extremely well built machine that should last for y... |
