How awesome is the McIntosh MC501?

Any McIntosh C48 owners out there?
Sid42,I saw a C48 listed briefly at a very good price, which was actually less than some C46 preamps offered. Congratulations. I will be interested to hear your evaluation. 
Any McIntosh C48 owners out there?
On the McIntosh forum at audioaficionado.org there are several posts that may be of interest.One post suggests the volume control function of the C42 is unique to that unit."One of the things that frustrated me with the C42 was McIntosh's optical ... 
Any McIntosh C48 owners out there?
I have been pleased with the sound quality of my McIntosh C48 preamp. Imaging and low level detail are particularly good. Someone reportedly affiliated with McIntosh posted on another forum that the sound quality of the C48 and C50 are essentially... 
Von Schweikert opinion and help.
This sounds like a good deal on the VR4 SR MkII. Von Schweikert has just introduced VR-33 speakers with introductory pricing of $3750 per pair. You might consider these as an alternative. More information is available at the Von Schweikert forum o... 
which amplifier best for von schweikert speaker?
I use a Parasound A21 with Von Schweikert VR 4JR speakers and have been pleased with this combination for both music and movies. You can find used A21 amps under $1500. There is strong demand for used Parasound A21 amps, so you should be able to r... 
Cable conundrum: Parasound A21 with RCA AND XLR
Milpai,In my home theater system, I use a Parasound C2 controller (yes, I have 2 of these) with Parasound A21 and A51 amps connected with balanced cables. In my opinion this sounds very musical driving three Von Schweikert VR4JR speakers and four ... 
Cable conundrum: Parasound A21 with RCA AND XLR
Evergrey, sorry to hear about the problem with your amp. I do not know why this problem would be related to your cable change if the system was off when the change occurred as you indicated. Thanks for the warning and please keep us updated on wha...

Speakers with good Bass recommendation
I have owned the Def Tech BP30 and it was good in bass and relatively easy to drive, but in my experience Def Tech speakers are limited in positioning due to the bipolar feature and sound a little dark and muddy to some. I sold the BP30 for about ... 
Making the best of mediocre speakers
This may be a dead issue, but I would revisit the question of whether you might find a way to use conventional speakers in the room. I have a pair of Salk SongTower QWT finished in Hawiian Koa wood. My wife, who has rarely seen a speaker that she ... 
Impossible? Small towers, efficient, musical, loud
I suggest you consider Salk SongTowers. I have SongTower speakers in a room as large as yours. They can be placed as close as 12" to the wall without compromising bass. These are fairly efficient speakers with an excellent midrange and sound stage... 
B&W vs Von Schweikert house sound?
