| Verdier Graham and Shelter??? I'm using a Benz Micro Ruby 3H 'Open Aire' with my Ikeda. Great sound! | |
| Verdier Graham and Shelter??? You really should consider the Ikeda IT407 (12 inch arm). Pricing is real world compared to many other top quality tonearms (was $2150, but now price is $2400).To me, it has the best quality fit and finish of any arm I've ever examined, including ... | |
| Most Overated Floor Standing Speaker Up to 15KPair Paradigm S8 most definitely.Within 30 seconds of listening to them, my wife and I were begging the saleman to please stop the pain. Migraine generators for sure. Maybe these are used for sonic torture of Al Qaeda prisoners? | |
| Haven't played my LP's in 20 years - still good? Not a problem at all...spin away! | |
| Verdier Graham and Shelter??? I have a Verdier/Ikeda/Benz Ruby combo I love. | |
| Lions and Tigers and Bears..Oh MY............or... Why not be different (at least a little)?I am very happy with my non-tweaky set up.

| Comparison of $11,000 - $15,000 reference speakers You can buy a used pair of Dynaudio Confidence C4's for under $10K. I just LOVE these speakers! (and so does my wife....high WAF due to styling). | |
| Lots of air= lots of subwoofer Here's a theory for you...The relatively large amount of air movement from the 2 subs causes the sound from the main speakers to 'move about' such that there is a little less precision in your ability to localize the source of the sound, thereby c... | |
| Lots of air= lots of subwoofer Do you think that this illustrates the importance of the Fletcher-Munson effect? In the old days, there was a 'loudness' button which would increase bass output at low volumes, and to me, this made low volume listening much more enjoyable. Nowaday... | |
| pre-amp with home theatre pass through The McIntosh C45 is specifically designed with 5.1 pass through capability. I believe it has 2 sets of 6 channels, plus stereo inputs as well. | |
| pre-amp with home theatre pass through I believe it has what you want. | |
| Dynaudio Confidence C4 I have C4s powered by 500W Mac monoblocks. Don't think that 60W would cut it. Suppose it depends how loud you listen, but I still think that 60W would be marginal at best. | |
| Mcintosh c46 I'm using a C42 with my MC501s. I think the C42 is quite similar to the C46 electronically speaking. In any case, I really like this combo, so I have no doubt that a C46/MC501 pairing would be great. Of course the biggest difference with the C200 ... | |
| Mcintosh C41, any thoughts,compared to c45, c46 I generally concur with the previous poster. I upgraded from a C41 to a C42 in my system. As near as I can tell, the only difference between the 42 and the new 46 is that you get a bigger display and fiberoptic lighting. So you might consider a us... | |
| CD players in $2K range with balanced output Mac MCD205...used. Can't go wrong. You can find them around $1500.Better yet, buy a used Mac MVP851 for right in the $2k range. |
