| Best Mac tube FM tuner: MR67 or MR71?? Sc53, so you sold your Fanfare for a Mac. Congrats! Try getting a MR71, you'd be surprised. | |
| Best Mac tube FM tuner: MR67 or MR71?? MR71 is the one which is the most highly rated. I have them both. They sound fabulous. None of mine have the mods done but will do them when I have the $.Go with the 71 or buy them both. | |
| To Preamp or not to Preamp, that is my q In your situation, a pssive would only make the sound worse as there is a volume control there already on the CDP.If you're into ultimate transparency in the sound, no preamp is the best way. Using a preamp would help make your music sound fuller ... | |
| To Preamp or not to Preamp, that is my q Hin Levinson 39 has a preamp section built in it. That's OK to connect to a power amp. 99% of other CD players like the Denon used here does not have one built in.To use a regular CDP as a drive for power amps are not appropriate. Sometimes gettin... | |
| To Preamp or not to Preamp, that is my q Preamp! It acts like a buffer stage to drive your cables. The output impedence on a preamp is far lower than a CD player. That's why you need one. | |
| New Listener Mag Tweak Issue Megsam, the discs makes the sound more liquid and rounded. Sounstage and depth also improved. You can adjust the tonal balance slightly by turning the discs. These discs work based on the theory of ...instead of getting rid of vibrations (nobody c... | |
| New Listener Mag Tweak Issue I have a set of Shun Mook discs. they are places atop my preamp and work like a charm. Will highly recommend | |
| Cardas Caps Worthwhile? Noise floor dropped. Very dark background Very effective. | |
| Mcintosh Equalization If you're refering to the MQ 107 or other MQ reries EQ's, they work well to control the bass irregularities. Problem is that you need a Mcintosh AA2 spectrum analyzer to tune the EQ. Hope it helps. | |
| Leave well enough alone Same here, I got a deal on a McIntosh MR71 tuner quite rare) Paid C$250 for it. Looked good except the inside the glass was a little dusty. I had to take it out to clean it. Guess what????!!! The markings were old and some of it came off!! I was p... | |
| I am Not hurting anything right ?? Bi-wire or not depends on how your speaker crossover is designed. A well designed speaker crossover does not benefit from bi-wiring.A not so well designed crossover feeds back EMF to the amplifier thus splitting the crossover into 2 or more sectio... | |
| Adv for the most musical DA? Audio Note DAC 4 Signature or even the new DAC 5. Best I've ever heard at any price! | |
| Making Stereo amps into Mono Upgrading the power supply capacitors is another alternative. You could "bypass" (connect in parellel) the older supply caps eith newer and faster poly film caps. This will help make the older cap function more efficiently and will result a cleane... | |
| Making Stereo amps into Mono Bad idea to bridge a stereo into mono. The tonal balance of the amp will change and will result in inferior sound. I would suggest you find another PA7 and use them to Bi-amp your speakers. This way, you power the lows and highs saperately....way ... | |
| Sonic Frontiers Ultrajitterbug I tried using one a few years ago between my Esoteric transport and Proceed DAC. Cables were Illuminati D-60. Turns out that the UJB degraded the sound. I sold it! |
