| Carver Power Amps Paul I don't own either but it seems like your defending your own amps and the amount you spent on them LOL!!!!Why can't the Parasound or Carver be a reference or did you write the book on that too! Sorry I just find it funny you put hope it helps... | |
| Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2 Good question Ritteri....well it's not an audible noise.I didn't notice it until I switched the the Mac out with the Monarchy.The Monarchy is supposed to be no feedback.And take also into account the wattage (monarchy)25 wpc verses (mac)300 wpc.In... | |
| Whats the tubiest sounding preap? Maybe Cary? No remote thou! | |
| Adcom 545 vs. B&K st-140 If you want a little warmth go with the B&K. But if you want neutrality and your planning to add your own warmth go with the 545 MK2 Adcom. Sweet equates to colored but that can sound good too! Too much warmth seems to kill the clarity and det... | |
| Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2 Thanks Ritteri for the advice.Actually I'am using Magnepans at home.I have a friend that owns the 100v.2s and I have spent many hours listening to them with different equipment.I see you use Voodoo aswell..these are some giant killer cables.And an... | |
| Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2 You are right.. I checked Aball.. no argument.Maybe it's the powerguard or sentry monitor circuits they use in these models.I also listened to my 7106 on the 100v2s.And it was rolled off in comparison to the Adcoms and it did sound better because ... | |
| Suggested speakers to take the place of Dunlavy This maybe off the beaten path but what about some Innersounds.These use transmission loaded bass drivers.And I don't think you will find anything as detailed with great tonal balance as an Electrostatic speaker! Of course there best enjoyed while... | |
| Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2 Eldartford..that could be true .I have a soft spot for Maggies and Martin Logans.But I doubt the sounding better is due to price,it's more of system matching.Even the little Monarchy SM 70 for $350.00 smoked that Mac that I used to own.I'am one of... | |
| Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2 Jsujo...I think your on to something. My Mac did have the autoformers.Maybe this is what I was hearing.It was great for speaker protection but not for sound quality! I admit I don't like the sound of Adcoms on 100v2 Paradigms but hooked up on some... | |
| Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2 Well Arthur I have owned the Mcintosh 7106 and compared to the 585 adcom. I think it would sound thin.Why ..well the Mac has a thickness to it.It sounds like Mcintosh tried to make this amp sound like tubes.Which was not a very good idea. The 585 ... | |
| Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2 You know some of us have to make ourselves feel better when we spend more on some of this stuff.Adcom 500 series cheap sound ..I doubt it! You will find the same transistors in some Rowlands,Pass,and Mark Levinsons. I guess they sound cheap too! O... | |
| Thiel CS1.6 vs Sonus Faber Grand Piano - $5k budgt Right now you could get the whole Soliloquy setup. Soliloquy (new)5.3s for $900.00,Center for (new)400.00 and the Soliloquy 5.0s(new) for $390.00 without stands.Or go with four 5.0s and the center channel.And a matching sub for around $600.00. you... | |
| integrated amp that matches well w/ Soliloquy 5.3s If your not stuck on just integrates.I will suggest Monarchy SM-70 monoblocks with a nice tube preamp on the front.If you go used it will put you well under $2500.00.And the rest could go for wires or another CD player.Try some pure copper interco... | |
| Rocket 88R vs v12R??? Thats great Kevziek I'am glad you love your speakers.I have no favorite speaker but I will say this.No B&W will ever be as resolving of inner detail as a electrostat,ribbon or planar speaker! I don't care what kind of amplifier you use on it.T... | |
| Power conditioner for amps Tom I use a Monster Power HTS 2600.It has the staggered switching like the one your using.I would like to get the AVS 2000,which keeps the currrent steady at 120 volts.I've heard these do wonders for systems.Since nothing is starved of power the e... |
