| Nagra VPS or Tron Seven Ref phono stages? Well...I really went back and forth for some time... Tube rolling EVERY option possible ( yea...,I'm stupid that way) I settled for the C2300 w/ Telefuknen ECC803s tubes installed. The soundstage was remarkable to say the least! I must be honest h... | |
| Nagra VPS or Tron Seven Ref phono stages? My 2 cents.. My system consists of: Mcintosch C2300 Preamp, 2 MC2000 tube amps, 1 MC352, JBL 4345,s Modded Khorns (alk xtreme slope crossovers, crites tweeter, alk trachorn, JBL 2470 drivers,solid silver wire)Basis debut sig, Vaccum tablr, Graham ... | |
| Replaced stock McIntosh 12ax7a with gold lion ecc8 Matching preamp tubes is NOT essential, only when it comes to power tubes. but guess what?? ALL tubes drift so its "never" really matched (except at the beginning) but its always a good starting point. | |
| Does anyone like vintage speakers? New speakers today are compact, beautiful to look at (wife friendly) handle lots o power,built w/ close tolerances, ect,ect, blah,blah,blah.... It doesnt mean IMO that they are "better" than the vintage speakers. Oh yea, they handle more power, ea... | |
| How Long Ago Since You Cried Listening To Music? I'm DEFINETLY NOT a "girlie man" but to make a statement like that is shallow IMO.

| Longhin tube tester I have one...construction is great it is very versatile but....unless you speak & understand Italian it is frustrating to decipher the "unimpressive" "so called" owners manual!! I guess It should of at least came w/ the "Rosseta Stone"!! | |
| Tube Monoblocks for heavy music on Khorns Stimbo22, It is my opinion that if one has an "idea" that they have they should pursue it. I am not a "tweaker".... I researched a tried and true products and incorporated them in my system & was astounded w/ the results! I have NO need to go ... | |
| Tube Monoblocks for heavy music on Khorns IMO if you are gonna play LOUD you need to change the sqawker. To get the most out of your khorns I would go w ALK crossovers and his wood trachorn. The khorn is PIERCING at loud volume. I ran mine w/ 2 Mcintosh MC2102's in Mono w/ outstanding res... | |
| Best Rock Drummers Not the Best, but I would toss Cozy Powell in the mix as well | |
| mcintosh c-2300 vs mcintosh c500 phono section Bob, My bad...I concur, your right & I'm wrong 100%! | |
| mcintosh c-2300 vs mcintosh c500 phono section I think you got it wrong.... the C2300 & C500 have the same phono stage. | |
| Are Horn Speakers good or bad or simply a complete joke? Well I'm sure you "horn haters" have merit, after all if something sucks to your ears what good is it for someone to try to talk you out of it??? I bought my Khorns based on memory alone, when I got em I wawnt so impressed! cut to the chase.... af... | |
| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? Boy this is really a silly post..so I guess I'll throw in my 2cents too.... Some musicians use Fender Strats & Tele's (not telefunken for those not in the know), some Gibson Les Pauls or 335's. Marshall amps vs. fender amps!!Who CARES!! Listen... |
