Dump run on McIntosh MC402?
Brianmgrarcom, you make a good point. There are many of these threads. I think products do show up in greater quantity for various reasons, and actually the number of MC402s is slightly high right now but there's always 3 or 4 for sale. I think fo... 
Dump run on McIntosh MC402?
Interesting. I was a little hard on them. Still my local dealer was offering 5% off msrp when I bought mine. Maybe it's more now. I don't go to the local audio shops anymore and haven't for a couple of years. I don't see how they expect to sell an... 
Dump run on McIntosh MC402?
A dealer told me McIntosh has a 40% discount to dealers going on right now. It's a curious move because it cuts the resale value right out of 'em and hurts their customers who paid much more. I figure McIntosh/Denon must be hurtin' for cash flow r... 
Aerial Model 9 vs B&W Nautilus 802
I think the 10Ts weren't all that great to look at either. Notice how a lot of the high-speakers have gone to the faceted look, e.g., Andra's and others. I didn't ever care that much for the look of the 10Ts but they're growing on me. Of course th... 
Jeff Rowland Model 501 - Help ...
The latest Bel Cantos have a filter that keeps out the Class D generated interference.

I have raid on my main computer which is where I either convert or download flac files. Raid it built into the motherboard. It's a Dell box but I wouldn't buy Dell again. They have cut so many corners that everything is cheap (low quality). I woul... 
Amp for Aerial 10T
Today I pulled the 10Ts out further than normal. The OM says 2 or 3 feet is adequate. I pulled them out closer to 4 or 5 feet and noticed a good improvement. The bass sounded much better - not more - but balanced and natural. In turn this made the... 
Amp for Aerial 10T
I'm driving my 10Ts with an McIntosh MC402 right now. It sounds good. One thing I noticed about the 10Ts is they have a different sound from the other Aerial models. I've heard a lot of different amps on my 6s and 7Bs but not a lot on the 10s. The... 
Do Audiogon members like DIY cable projects?
I did my own ICs using several techniques. I find my own were better than most of the sub $500 cables. I went up to Cardas Golden Reference and thought they surpassed my home-builds. 
I Changed the rig again
The Spectron is Class D right? I'd expect you'd hear quite a difference between that and tubes especially SET. Pretty much opposite ends of the spectrum. It'd be interesting if you had a class A amp in there to compare too. But yeah, it's great if... 
Help me pick: Cary 300/300 or Ayre C7-xeMP
The Cary has a beefier sound, good bass while the Ayre is delicate and refined. Ayre has better customer service, IME. 
Squeeze box classic 3 vs. Slim Device Transporter.
The 24/96 tracks from HDTracks sound quite good on my Transporter. To my ears 24/96 is a palable step up from Redbook. 
Speaker recommendation
I think you'd probably be ok with the McCormack and Totems. I thought long and hard about buying a pair of Hawks or Forests but ultimately decided against it. Why? Because they both have a frequency bump around 10 kHZ. I think with good equipment ... 
How are McIntosh C46 tone controls different?
Yep, that's where I think the confusion lies. You can take a look at the treble response and see it doesn't really take off until above 5 kHz or so. The equalizer tone controls on the c46 are more for tuning room effects than adjusting the highs a...
