| McIntosh MC611and MC1.25KW-how do they sound compared to 601's and 1.2KW Small update to my last post. I still own MC1.25s with C1100 but I started to use NOS tubes in 202. Currently Marconi and Sylvania. Huge upgrade in all aspects. Generally it is worth to upgrade each tube MC with NOS replacements. Whats seems t... | |
| How will the COVID-19 pandemic affect sites like Audiogon? Why you continue this subject? I thought this is audio forum not mental therapy. I am sure you will find a lot of help out there. Do we really have to participate in this? | |
| Only using Spotify connect, am I loco??!! If you ask us about it then it means you are not satisfied at least. Consider this first. | |
| Higher End DACs I will have the Bartok for tests soon. I am looking for hiend streamer not particularly for dac but...I am using Dave with Blu. What a nonsense to use Dave with M-scaller. M-scaller is for TT2, Hugo2 maybe... but Dave? Suffice to say that Dave is ... | |
| Are Bowers and Wilkins speakers overpriced? IMHO all audio devices are overpriced. The industry make from HiEnd the luxury commodity. Well... since I have no respect for money then I give a crap. After all my life span is very short. | |
| Guest suddenly takes it upon herself to move my speakers Hahhha of course!!! It is hard to catch them when you are relaxed and such action is unexpected. The risc is not the position but that they damage the speaker!!! I am sure you will find your setting again (btw it is worth to marked it).hope nothin... | |

| Disappointing On Mcintosh......help Heheh... i own MC1.25 with C1100 fed by Chord Blu+Dave with Giya G2 at the end and the shape of banana smile on my face every time I start music session. No more need for better, no endless chasing, just pleasure from music. You dont like MC’s the... | |
| Smoke on my power amp In case of TubeAmps!!! Never allow to run it without speakers connected!!!!In case of the rest, do not shortcut the speaker cable.Good amps should have safety measures but lets be honest... most up to 5000$ do not have it.In case of smoke NEVER PO... | |
| The Modern DAC killed High Resolution Music - has Stereophile proven it? I own Chord Dave and Blu and... in spite of Blu outstanding scaler DSD files sound better then CD not mention Tidal Masters. So no matter who says such crap it is not true. I suppose that these people do not have proper equipment to hear the diffe... | |
| Old Legendary tubes vs New Kids on the block Amperex/Siemens/Tele vs Psvane/TAD/Shugaung A lot of tubes has been told here. I could add to the subject a lot but please consider that tubes replacement is just a part of the story. How surprised I was when McIntosh C1100 with stock JJ tubes kicked ass to the bottom for all known to me NO... | |
| Difference in sound between copper and silver digital cables? You asked simple question and got elaborates in the answer. Shortly: there is a difference. Shortly: unable to specify which is better because it is subjective. You have to listen. After all... you will find the differences even in the same DAC in... | |
| All-in-one: $1k Marantz or $2k Hegel? If you are looking for some all in one up to 2 grams you should point to Yamaha or Denon also MarantzYou will get pretty decent devices for this money.Audio vendors get crazy past decade and dictate pretty high prices to the quality. This is why t... | |
| CD Player vs. music streaming :) the CD is still the king on the hill in terms of price to output quality ratio. The only better format is the SACD or DSD files.The best price to audio quality is on the turntable side but CD is better in general quality because of its durabili... | |
| Great Qobuz streamer. Upgrade from Bluesound Node 2 I am using Auralic Femto from 2 years. Great streamer with external linear PSU. They just redesigned the Lightening DS app past week and it is super fast now. But before you invest in streamer... buy good USB cable like Tellurium Diamond. I found ... |
