lyra skala & Ekos early model is it compatible?
I have heard it at the dealers with the EKOS SE, Keel, Urika and Lyra Titan and yep it is great but I can't tell you which of the upgrades was contributing the most to the improvemnet in sound. So i didn't listen to my rig for about 10 days to kee... 
Any thoughts on the new McIntosh MC302 amp?
The new MC302 is the 300 watt version of the MC252 it replaces. This should be a better sounding amp than the MC252 in that the power supply has been improved. However the MC252 and MC302 are the only amps with in the McIntosh Autoformer line that... 
Have you ever got emotionally attached
I was to my first 2 channel McIntosh Amp MC352 because it had brought new life to my old Infinity Kappa 7's. After years of owning the speakers I had never really heard their potential until then. Then I came home one night and found it cheating o... 
Anyone hear the new Audio Research DS225 pwr amp?
I have heard it at my dealers but can't pass judgement on it yet. He has offered me to bring it home to campare to my MC402, but I won't do that as I can't afford to trade even if I liked it better. And I really haven't heard it in a comparison to... 
Audioquest colorado sound to bright
In defense of the Colorado, I was not able to give them their due. The dealer likes to have them out for 2-3 days and the box clearly states that you need about 2 weeks. So they may have been better than my experience allowed me to witness. 
Marantz UD9004 for a reference player?
I looked at this a year ago when I wanted to jump in to BluRay and looked at the D&M three. The Denon, marantz and Mcintosh 881. All I came away with is the video sems to reamin constant across the three. But the sound quality gets better with... 
lyra skala & Ekos early model is it compatible?
I have basically the same table as you with the new Leos on it. But the dealer runs a Titan and Skala on his dispaly LP12's and they sound glorious. You can't go wrong with Lyra in my book. So is your Lingo the larger box, mine is the smaller, I a... 
Downsizing from Ayre MX-R monoblocks
How about the Audio Research DSi200, it has recieved some goor reviews and from what I have heard of it in my dealers system, it sounds pretty damn good. Not sure about the synergy with Sonus Faber but it sounds great with Wilson Sophias and Vande... 
Do you listen alone or with guest s
Alone, whenever I try to share with someone they won't shut up! They don't appreciate quality playback. Which is fine I don't like golf. Bad experience was taking a girlfreind speaker shopping, no matter how good the speaker was, it couldn't drown... 
Audioquest colorado sound to bright
I just returned a demo set of Colorado to the dealer. I have my whole system wired with Cardas Golden Reference.I tried them(Colorado)between the LP12/Linto and also between my Ayre C5xe-mp and my ARC LS26. On the TT they sounded very close in tim... 
What cartridges would best sound an Ekos arm?
Sprog, my comments were directed at Marcussantiago in answer to his question and not at your response. He was asking for opinions on what cartridges would be recommended. I responded with my experience, which is one mans opinion, that I wanted to ... 
What cartridges would best sound an Ekos arm?
I recently sold my Troika and bought a Lyra Delos and then traded up to the Kleos. Both sounded better than the Troika, which in it's day was considered a great Linn cart for the LP12, and it was. But the new generation Lyra's have a much more del... 
Has anybody heard the new Mcintosh MC302/MC452?
Are they even shipping yet? I saw the product cards at RMAF but none on display. I was disappointed that Ron Cornelious said the 302 like the 252 will still no have the double balanced circuit. I have a 402 and would like to hear the 452 but doubt... 
speaker banana plugs
I think the old adage "shortest distance between two points is a straight line" applies. Bare ends makes a more direct connection. 
Speaker question for RMAF attendees
I would agree that was the Nordost Room and those speakers were set widely apart. Yes they were amazing, and I do beleive these wehttp://www.raidho.dk/main.php?page=product&product=xmonitorre They were also very expensive
