| accuphase compare to mcintosh Yeah Thenis, a lot of useless response. | |
| accuphase compare to mcintosh Thenis, the OP asked about the comparative sound signature. I have the same curiosity about the sound signature. Did any of you rock throwers attempt to answer his question? Do any of you know the answer to his question? For a thread with a dozen ... | |
| Best M8080 NOS tube for CJ preamp line stage? Jeffrey, on the MET-1, how did you determine which tube goes with which channel? Is it something I missed in the manual? Thanks. | |
| Review: Motif MC-8 Preamplifier I could not agree with you more. I once owned the Motif MC-10 and just purchased the MC-8. It is much much better than its modest used cost would suggest. Your review was very well done and accurately describes this unit.My curiosity causes me to ... | |
| Looking for warmth Start with the preamp. I would try one of the offerings from conrad-johnson maybe. Both their tube and solid state units go in the direction you want. If that change is not enough, I would do the same then with the power amp. Again, I would sugges... | |

| Amp Recommendations for Acoustat 1+1s I owned a pair of 1+1s for about 10 years.They were in a fairly large quite live room. Depending on what you are looking to achieve, I can tell you that they are quite revealing of the amp they are being used with.In no particular order:Adcom 555 ... | |
| c-j buffs: MV-55 vs. Premier 11a I owned both the 55 and the Premier 11A at the same time. Speakers were stock Acoustat 1+1s. I found the 11A superior in the bass: tighter sounding, but not too tight and of course it had more power. However in every other way and overall I clearl... | |
