| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer Everybody his sound ! I don’t like McIntosh , and isn’t for me “the Rolex” of the amps.: than I will give it to VAC. : Is more natural, detailfull and the sound is very 3-D. Mc is a “cliche” : used with Sonus Faber , and B&W : hi-fi :okay ! N... | |
| High end cartridge I heared à lot .. the most natural and best sounding is the BENZ mini gold !! | |
| Emm Labs DV2 versus Tambaqui The Mola Mola Tambaqui is Dutch !! I don’t understand why some, use/talk about Chinese Dac. He is good, but I prefer EMM: morer rich in sound , and open ,good placement. Mola Mola is either plat. But this is everyone’s choice … | |
| CHANGING FROM AUDIO RESEARCH TO AUDIO NOTE SYSTEM In my opinion : I do like the cd-players,dac and poweramp of Audio Note. The préamp AR is very good ! The poweramps less. I do prefer AN :sound is very good ! One of my favorites ! | |
| Bigger and Better: Integrated Amplifiers PrimaLuna to Hegel H4S and -HD-30. , to Wavac 805m , and now the VAC phi 300.1 | |

| Need help choosing a new DAC The best dac’s I ever had/ heard are :: Ear Yoshino , Metronome Technologie, , Eastern Electric, Mola Mola Tambaqui ,…don’l like DCS, SMB, ( to expansive for what you get) | |
| Are tubes psychological? Tubes gives a more “natural “analoge” sound . Very detailed,more 3D: you “feel” the music more than with a transitoramp: is more digital :: ampathizing with the music is less by transistor | |
| Best speakers around $130k? Best speakers I ever heard : Ilumnia Magister MK2 , KEF Muon. Not my stuff: B&W, S. Faber , Wilson,… ( no natural sound) | |
| Magico A5, Wilson SabrinaX, or PS Audio FR30? The Ps audio… a lot of music fans do like McIntosh : I don’t know why : it’s a cool , unnatural sounding amp.,too flat( my opinion) . You play a lot of Jazz music… there are a lot of better “natural” -sounding amps : VAC, Dartzeel , VTL,… | |
