Transporter vs Ayre CX-7e
Chesebert, where do you get your 25 bit files? I have a transporter as well and I've been looking for some but haven't found anything that I'd download yet. 
Which is the most tubelike solid state amp around
I agree with those that say the mc402. I tried a number of amps before I hit on that one. 
McIntosh Integrated Amplifiers
Yes, a few good threads exist on this subject. On the question "why doesn't everyone use them?" As I recall, they are expensive to produce and McIntosh already has a production facility for these. Tooling up a factory for these would be an expensi... 
New McIntosh system problem... need advice
The good thing about Mcintosh preamps is you have tone controls. 
New McIntosh system problem... need advice
I think what you're hearing is primarily the McIntosh sound. It is more laid back and in a way less detailed. At least at first it seems less detailed then later it seems normal, like real music is supposed to sound. If you have trouble with being... 
Aerial 9s--is there a lot more bass than 10Ts?
Funny thing about the 7s is the used prices have been rising. If you waited watched AG you could pretty much pickup a nice pair in the $1800 to $2200 range. Lately over the past 6 months I'm seeing them more in the $2500 to $3500 range. I've got 7... 
Fully balanced SS pre for McIntosh 402?
Is the MC402 itself balanced? I run a c2300 to mine with good result (using balanced cables). I use a balanced DAC as well to the preamp. 
THE CURE - 4:13 - Latest album - opinions
Doubt it's his intention to put out a bad sounding disc. You know some of these guys get old, they don't know any better. A producer telling them it's got to be loud, tells them they need to sound like this or that or their album will slide off th... 
Older Classe pieces really holding their prices...
Didn't Levinson eventually sell out to somebody? Are the older pieces the older Levinson stuff they made the name on? Levinson may be coming back - isn't it also the case with Classe' that they were sold? Same holds true for Marantz and McIntosh, ... 
Aerial 10T vs B&W 802 Nautilus
You will probably be able to pick up 20T version 1s under $10k soon. I know I'm going to be looking for a pair. 
Aerial 10T vs B&W 802 Nautilus
I think you need the new Aerial 20Ts version 2. 
Invalid zip codes in classifieds..
The question is why doesn't Audiogon update their database of zip codes? How hard could that be? 
McIntosh MC352 or MC402?
I own an MC402 with the c2300 (tube). I can't imagine it sounding "harsh in the mids to highs" with anything. I had the harsh highs problem for years and the 402 solved that problem. The majority of my recordings sound very good on it. I've run my...
