| NAD C372 & Gallo Ref 3.1 The NAD is a safe match. I've owned NAD and a friend has the Gallos with NAD. I've never heard anyone say the don't like NAD. Anything less is mostly consumer dreck for the masses but you can also do a lot better of course with an attendant increa... | |
| The use of equipment as "tone controls" While some may note lack of bass, the majority of complaints are about harsh highs. This is most often the result of the recording IME. I've yet to hear a piece of equipment that completely corrects boosted highs and compressed recordings. If some... | |
| Need help What monoblock power amps for bass? I would consider Krell. Krell can definitely get a hold of those woofers and control them. | |
| DVD player for CONCERTS/2 Channel Out Oppos are good. I have one and think it does a good job on two-channel out (it has a setting for that) and the features for DVD are good. For example, you can skip right to the start menu a lot of the time. | |
| Sufjan Stevens 'Michigan' If you ever get a chance to see the show he did on Austin City Limits, check it out. | |
| Would classic klipsch work here? Wireless, why 90's or newer? Is it the age (not a problem) or the new design midrange horn in teh Forte and Chorous?Tigerwoodkhorns, I'm saying buy Klipsch that were made before the 90s. I'm a Klipsch fan and bought several of their reference syst... | |
| C45 vs C220 premplifier I played with the 4 kHz control and it didn't roll off the harshness. In fact at that time I didn't know it was not rolling off up to 20 kHz like a conventional treble control and was trying to figure out the weird rolloff I was hearing. I asked m... | |
| Would classic klipsch work here? I would not buy anything made in the 90s and later. As mentioned above you can get Forte's very reasonably priced on ebay. Very good speaker. | |
| MC402 vs. MC252 B&W 803S At 90 dB spl for those speakers, I'd lean toward the 402 although the 252 would drive them well. Just depends on how hard you want to rock the house. My 86 dB Aerials sound good on a 402 but I could see someone who really wants to crank it up desi... | |
| C45 vs C220 premplifier Well, the c46 highest tone control is centered on 4kHz. I ruled it out for that reason. If I'm buying a Mc Preamp, it's partially for the tone controls. Not being able to roll off the upper highs on the c46, I wouldn't buy it. | |
| Does anyone out there NOT hear a difference in CD I agree. The key is figuring out where your cost/benefit ratio lies. My current system costs a lot more than I ever thought I'd spend. It's never point a point b; it's more point a point z with a lot of little steps up in price between. The bigges... | |
| Does anyone out there NOT hear a difference in CD Over in the slim device forums someone asked the designer of the Transporter, Sean Adams, what he would have done if cost was no object. He said nothing, there's only so much money you can put into components. | |
| Remasters: which are the good ones? The Led Zep and Van Halen remasters aren't too good IME. Boosted highs. | |
| Do McIntosh amps work best with McIntosh pres? I think Mc amps sensitivity can lower than some other amps. For example my mc402 can take 4v balanced input. Some DACs and preamps will have an output in the 2~3v range. I assume the Mc preamps have a 4 watt output. I'd be interested to hear more ... | |
| The use of equipment as "tone controls" A classic trap most of us fall in to when auditioning new componentsIt's how Pepsi won the "Pepsi Challenge" and caused the New Coke debacle. Pepsi is sweeter than Coke. They were legimately winning the "sip" test because the normal person will pi... |
