| Tube amp, size and power info........ With low to moderate volume listening and 99dB, I definately wouldn't limit myself to amps over 25W of power! You can try some really cool 3W - 10W power amps like 2A3, 45 or 300B and not have to worry. I hope to do that one day myself. | |
| Nuforce there are a bunch of posts about it in the archives. | |
| Aftermarket power cords for McIntosh amps/preamps The French are conducting interesting research right now on the resonances of the corona effect on the air molecules in the listening room. It seems that it doesn't matter if "the next 100 or so feet to the breaker panel is romex" or not because c... | |
| B&W 703 - How to tame the highs? I agree with Beeper99 - try McIntosh. They love clear and open speakers since they have no grain or fake treble energy. | |
| Mac MA2275 users, opinions Knowing how pragmatic McIntosh can be, I would say they figured if you didn't know whether to get a 6900 or a 2275, you probabaly don't know the difference between 200W and 75W either. As Josep said above, you can't use the 2275 for just any speak... | |
| Reliability of Cary Audio Products I too know a former Cary dealer who dropped their line because of reliability issues. However, it sounds like Cary may have corrected a lot of these problems recently. | |
| Does anybody know about the Mac C-33 Pre-Amp? Yes, synergy is the key, that is true. | |
| Fischerspooner I will check those out. Thanks! Arthur | |
| Audio Aero Prima 24/192 Mk II cd player...... I agree with Grannyring that the Prima can be a little forward in some cases. Don't forget everything is relative!! Is "forward" supposed to be bad? Some of you seem to take offense to what I find is a good trait. I guess that is further proof of ... | |
| Audio Aero Prima 24/192 Mk II cd player...... I have the Prima Mk2 and love it. It has a slightly forward tilt which gives the soundstage a natural-sounding depth with incredibly good layering and dynamics. I made some specific comparisons in my "system" page if you want more details but over... | |
| Does anybody know about the Mac C-33 Pre-Amp? For such a nice CJ, I wouldn't get a C33. I agree with the McIntosh C45/C46 idea (I have a C42 and feel it is fantastic). Arthur | |
| Less fatiquing Just last night, my audio buddy and I were comparing a Bryston 4BST and a Classe CA200 in his system which is comprised of Revel F30 speakers and a Wadia 850 in direct drive. After going back and forth, we felt the Classe was more refined, had bet... | |
| Upgrade pre-amp to C2200 or speakers? I agree with Jond entirely. | |
| Do small preamp tubes 12ax7 need to be matched? I have always been told that matching only matters for the power (output) tubes but I think it would depend on how the circuit is done. I think the Aesthetix are balanced right? Maybe it can make a difference in that case. See if you hear a differ... | |
| Are B&W 802D's a good match with Mcintosh MA6900? I agree they are an excellent match. |
