| McIntosh Preamp Congrats luvrockin.Audio Classics is a top notch operation. Their shop filled with so much sweet new and vintage gear, it makes one feel like a kid in a candy store...provided you've got wads of cash to spend. :-). Definitely worth a visit if you ... | |
| JL Audio e112 or HSU ULS MK2 @jeffrey75 My room is known for swallowing low frequencies. The footprint is 14’x17’ but the ceiling reaches 17’ for the whole room and is open to the second floor and the rest of the house. (wide open floor plan). I have the ULS-15s set up to the... | |
| McIntosh Preamp Yes, as long as it is a standard (over the air) FM signal. You will not be able to pull in "HD" or digital channels without a separate HD decoder. Some of these decoders are coming packaged with networked audio players, which could provide more fl... | |
| McIntosh Preamp The MX-130 represents an excellent value for a McIntosh pre-amp.Their HT pre-amps are essentially stereo pres when run in analog mode. I use an MX-120 with great success. I do not think you would be disappointed by the MX-130, and if you were, the... | |
| JL Audio e112 or HSU ULS MK2 Getting popcorn...be right back. | |
| JL Audio e112 or HSU ULS MK2 @danimaz, I have a pair of the mk1 HSU ULS-15. They have been running flawlessly in my system for years. My usage is skewed more on the music side, but they have no problem handling deep movie frequencies. I have my pair eq'd using an SVS AS-EQ1. ... | |
| Suggestions for amp to go with MX122 I don't know much about the Monoprice amp but will warn you against a couple of multichannel Mc amps that may come up in your search. Keep away from the 7106 and 7108. The 7106 was the worst sounding amp to ever cross my doorway. If you're willing... | |
| mcintosh home theater pre-amp tuners. G_Nakamoto, take comfort that your MX-132 is a better 2-channel pre-amp than most. As stated earlier use the analog mode and it's essentially a stereo Mc preamp. If you love music and what it makes you feel than you really are an audiophile. It's ... | |
| Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass) Jeff Rowland Model 2, 6, or 5.And just to break the rules...Pass 30.5I own both the model 2 and 30.5, and these amps are exactly as you describe. The Pass is a little fuller than the Model 2. Both got me off the amp merry-go-round. | |
| Preamp - Processor for 2 channel music Jl35, I went through the same process a few years ago. I downsized from a 5.2 to 2.2 system since most of my system use was audio. To add to auxinput's recommnedations, I would add the McIntosh MX-120 or 121. These units fall into a grey area wher... | |
| My rant; we don't know what we don't know Paragraphs are nice. | |
| Can anybody tell me if there's a fuse inside the Yamaha cd-s1000 SACD Player? I have the cd-s2100 which has a similar chassis. The top was fairly easy to remove. Did you remove the screws on the back where the top sheet metal folds over the rear? | |
| Vandersteen/Mccormack/audio design questions You could use Audiogon's auction feature and the highest bidder will dictate he true market value which isn't a whole lot these days.It would be fair to any buyer that you explain that you're not exactly sure of the working condition or maintenanc... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts It’s pretty exciting to read so many positive experiences with the DI and as a bargain hunter in all aspects ofife, it’s price has me considering a pair. My main challenge is room depth, I have plenty of volume , but speaker placement would have t... | |
| Dedicated Line Noise Filter? Have you tried or considered a Jensen line transformer between your source and pre or between your pre and power amp? I realize inserting such a device is taboo on this site because its installed "in the chain", but the Jensen devices are high qua... |
