| You know you're an audiophile if-- You feel you need an audiophile-level system in at least 4 or 5 rooms (main room, bedroom, bathroom/walk-in, garage, home office, music room where real insturments are) in your house. And at work as well. | |
| Tube Question - Do they need time to "Break In" Do you wait until they're warmed up before playing music? My McIntosh has about a 30-second "tube-warmup" before it'll play. It literally display "tube-warmup" on the front LEDs. My Cary 120S manual says warm-up time is 3 minutes. The tech at Cary... | |
| What to do with bad recorded CDs It depends on how bad. Try to find a better copy, tolerate it, don't listen, or adjust the tone controls to mitigate the mix. I know it's just plain impossible on some recordings. Face it, you can't make silk from a sow's ear and you may just have... | |
| McIntosh C220 C2200 C2300 differences? Check the McIntosh forum over at audiokarma.org. Many of the posters are given to hyperbole but there's some good information there for McIntosh fans. | |
| Klipsch Heresy: Inexpensive Int. Amps or Receivers My Heresy IIIs I picked up the other day have plenty of bass. Being driven by a Cary 120S tube amp. I had Heresy Is in the 80s and they could never seem to get enough power for the bass. I think the problem as mentioned in another thread was they ... | |
| Please suggest good balanced Preamp Tvad, what tube equipment are you using now, in particular for the power amp? How does it compare to other brands you've used? | |
| Please suggest good balanced Preamp The Atma-Sphere preamps utilize a lot of tubes. When you detect a bad tube, tracking it one down is reasonably time consuming.I owned an MP-1 preamp, and as great as it sounded, the tube maintenance involved was clearly going to be an issue for m... | |
| Amp recommendation: Cary SS vs. McCormack vs. Ayre I was over there today. We were taking a look at something else and when I asked the service guy, he was pretty clueless about the Concept series. He's just not that familiar with some of the product line. I would have like something more definiti... | |
| Replaced La Scala with...? I never cared for the LaScalas' sound. My roommate in the army had a pair while I had both Heresys and Fortes. IMO, either the Heresys or the Fortes, and especially the Fortes sounded much better. I recently picked up a pair of Heresy IIIs as a fo... | |
| Amp recommendation: Cary SS vs. McCormack vs. Ayre I'm going back over there tomorrow or the next day. I'll try to remember to ask about the concept series. | |
| Amp recommendation: Cary SS vs. McCormack vs. Ayre I was in the Cary factory the other day and was told they don't even make class D amps anymore. I was also under the impression they made mostly if not all their SS amps class D. I often thought that class D amp they did make for a while hurt thei... | |
| Pet Sounds: Most Overrated Album of All Time? The funny thing is if you go to Metacritic.com, Smile is the highest rated album ever (as far as their reviews go back). I have to admit it's pretty good but I don't get the "100" rating. | |
| Best Integrated Amp Of All Times? The woofer surrounds are good. I had them redone at some point. The only problem is there's a three way switch on the back for the tweeter. Extended - Normal - Reduced. With one of the speakers only extended works. Is this a crossover problem or a... | |
| Best Mainstream Receiver for 2 Channel Audio I would suggest buying an SR800x used. They are built like tanks and sound great for a mainstream receiver. | |
| Best Integrated Amp Of All Times? I had the CR1020 (70 watts per channel I believe) with New Advents. Very nice sound. The CR1020 just dies in the late 80s. I still have the Advents, trying to figure out what to do with them. I hooked them up the other day and they sounded suprisi... |
