| Which CD\SACD? My two channel system is fully balanced and I run all balanced Transparent Reference both from CD7 and the Modwright Oppo105D to the preamp and amps. | |
| Which CD\SACD? I recently purchased a used Modwright Oppo 105D and upgraded the tubes. I also bought an Audio Research CD7 at the same time. I spend more time listening to the Oppo. | |
| Shipping Set of Speakers across country @willgolf - I think you hit the nail on the head - "they were packed so well". It really all comes down to the packing. You just have to assume that every shipper is not going to treat every item with kid gloves. I had a big pair of Tannoys almost... | |
| What is the best OTL out there? Thanks for the info Ralph, BTW, your amps look amazing! I see we have a dealer here in NJ. I will have to make the trek for an audition. Thanks again!Mike | |
| Bridging the Mcintosh 402 amp Take a look inside the manual for your amp, it's in there. I bridge a MC252 for the center channel in my HT/Music room. You will simply be connecting a couple of jumper cables between the speaker terminals on your amp. Which ones will depend upon ... | |
| What is the best OTL out there? Not trying to change the subject, it just seemed like all the posters here would be the ones to ask. I would like to get recommendations as to whether anyone uses an OTL amp with Quad 57's. I bought a pair of these to try, after all these years, I... | |
| McIntosh Scratch your itch, it's the only way you will know for sure. McIntosh is not the be all end all of audio equipment, there is tons of great gear out there and only you will know what you like best. The posters above are correct, McIntosh makes grea... | |
| What vintage speaker might you use today I remember back in '78 or '79 while away at college in Florida, I wandered into a stereo store and was blown away by a pair of KEF 105's. They were absolutely amazing. Being a poor college student I ended up with a pair of Pioneer HPM-40's, which ... | |
| Outrageous used pricing on older McIntosh @tonykay Yes, you are correct. I meant to say you can't see the price of an accepted best offer, which to me is what I really want to see, what real buyers are offering to pay. But I do think much of the price really is a testament to the quality ... | |
| Is the word 'Integrated' that hard to spell? There is a disturbing trend today for people to spell a word as they want and its the reader's problem to try and figure out what that person is saying. So in essence, there is no onus on the writer to be correct, it's simply not his/her problem, ... | |
| Center and Mains You have received a lot of great suggestions, almost all of which was to try and match all your front speakers first but it sounds like you want to get a new processor any way. So, let me make this suggestion. Buy a used processor first, maybe an ... | |
| World of Mcintosh Lifestyle space As a baby boomer I am looking forward to the first part of your last sentence, not the last part! :) On the other side of the coin, it will be nice to know that there might still be a market for all my all used equipment when I'm ready to sell it. | |
| World of Mcintosh Lifestyle space I think it's smart marketing. I hope they are successful in bringing in new and younger audiophiles into the hobby. I'm at the Jersey Shore so it's about and hour and and half away for me but I would definitely like to stop in and see what they ha... | |
| Center and Mains Sorry to say I cannot give you an answer because I have not heard any of your particular pieces of equipment, although they all seem very nice. I am however familiar with Mcintosh amps. I can only relate to my experience with my own equipment. I t... | |
| World of Mcintosh Lifestyle space @taters - are you referring to the new WOM Townhouse in SoHo? If so, I think its a very interesting choice for them, it would seem that they are attempting to introduce the younger more affluent generation to the concept that hi-end audio can be a... |
