| New McIntosh amp build quality I agree with roadsterlover. I also had a pair of MC275 VI's hocked up as monos. No problems whatsoever but I do prefer 2 to one. I now have two MC2301 mono's which I love even more. | |
| TIDAL-Who knows what you are hearing? Don't Ask, Don't Tell. On my Aurender N10, I can search on Tidal Masters that are MQA only. This is my preferred way of finding and listening to music on Tidal. | |
| Recommended loudspeaker cable for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage? I really like Acoustic Zen Absolute speaker cables (a silver copper blend) connected to my Sonus Faber Strads. They should be in your price range. I only needed 6' since my amps are next to my speakers. | |
| Any good right angle power cables? I purchased a Voodoo 90 degree adaptor and just connected it to a straight power cord. It worked great. | |
| 7M or 25 ft HDMI cable for 4K UHD I also run 25' Blue Jeans HDMI cable from my Oppo 205 a 4K projector and have never had any problems. I only run video on the HDMI also. | |
| Question about McIntosh & BW 800 Series for sale I wouldn't try to sell your system as a whole since not that many will want exactly what you have. Sell your system piece by piece, you will get more $ and it will be much easier to sell. | |
| balanced vs. unbalanced sound quality I find the quality of interconnect wire to make more of a difference than the connection on the end. Just because a low quality cable has a XLR connectors doesn't make it sound better than a high quality cable with RCA connectors, especially for s... | |
| Aurender N10 - Sound quality performance is erratic While I like using Tidal in HiFi - 44.1 quality for auditioning music on my Aurender N10, adding MQA to the N10 for less than $50 brought my sound quality up to where I really enjoy the sound. I have a MQA DAC and non MQA DAC. Tidal MQA streamed v... | |
| MC300 MC252 MC501 recommendations based on my setup I don't listen to music all that loud but have used a variety of McIntosh amps. I did have one MC352 paired with B&W 803D's and it sounded very good. I then got a second MC352 to run the B&W's bi-amped which was even better. Then I went fo... | |
| New Aurender N10 I rip my CD’s to my NAS as AIFF and then use the copy feature on my N10 to also have them on the N10’s hard drive. I especially like that the N10 will do Tidal and unfold Tidal MQA's to my MQA DAC. | |
| C22 fully balanced? I don't believe the C22 is fully balanced. The C1100 is. I do like the retro style of the C22. It looks good with MC75 or MC275 amps. | |
| Speaker Recommendation: 20K range Everyone has different favorites for speakers. I had Acoustic Zen Crescendos paired with McIntosh 601 mono's and C2300 preamp and liked that combo quite a bit. I also second the suggestion for Harbeth 40.2 speakers. | |
| Down side of speaker swop from AZ to Tonian Labs ? When I had AZ Crescendos, I preferred McIntosh MC601 SS monos over McIntosh MC275 tube monos but it was close. I loved the Crescendos but I did get the fever to switch things around. I have never heard the Tonian Lab speakers so I can't compare. | |
| All Quiet on the Oppo front? stereo5, I am sure you will be glad you purchased one of the last 205's. I wasn't going to purchase one either since it can't stream Netflix or YouTube. I figured if I didn't like it I could sell it for at least as much as I paid for it. I am very... | |
| All Quiet on the Oppo front? Below is the email I received on 5/9/18. I had entered my email address on the Oppo website about a month or 2 before saying I was interested in purchasing a 205.Thank you for your interest in the OPPO UDP-205. As we get closer to availability, we... |
