| All posts are listed in reverse chronology Mr Decibel thread about whitecamaro asking money in private as an audio CONSULTANT is gone also ?... | |
| Hegel H390 or NAD M33 for Bowers and Wilkins 802D2 speakers? I would go Nad M33 on this particular one. | |
| D'agostino amplifiers: where's the beef? In the audio high-end world, amplifiers ands dacs are the most overpriced. Speakers less so.You pay for the fancing casing, you pay for the big suitcase, you pay for the prestige the brand tries to sell you..., etc. | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? You can try Pass Labs. Some rolled off highs and bloated bass, just like a SET amp... | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? Luxman M-900u amplifier. A lot of audiophiles ( on whatsbestforums ) with big tube rigs had them replaced with this amp. | |
| McIntosh c2700 users please chime in? I bought a C-47 2 years ago, paid like 4k canadian which is a bargain considering the sound quality and the fact it has a dac built in. The dac quality surprised me, no need for more. | |
| Are tubes really “warm”? Not with Audio Research. They make tube gear that sounds like solid state. Never understood this brand. 🙄 Why use tubes in the first place if you aim for a solid state sound ??... | |
| Tempted to buy a Macintosh Zu and Spatial speakers are very high efficiency speakers. Those sounds best with low powered pure tube amplifiers. No need for crazy powerful amps here. | |
| Who has a McIntosh C70 anniversary preamp? Thoughts? C 2700 or C 2600 if you want tubes.C 49 or C 53 if you want solid state. +1 | |
| Simaudio ACE or 240i Best move is the Neo 340i with dac imho.I still miss mine even though I have a much more expensive system now. ( Luxman M900u amp. coupled to a Mcintosh preamp ). | |
| Shunyata Alpha NR "Settling In Process"? I have an Alpha NR on my Luxman M900u, and an older Alpha Digital on my McIntosh C47 preamplifier/ dac. The Alpha NR replaced a Ztron Cobra. Very satisfied with both Alpha pcs. Maybe you should try a Sigma NR on your source. It is said it is much ... | |
| Which Mcintosh tube pre-amp? Look at it closely, it’s just not the same board, everything looks better made on the newer board. Shorter signal paths. Look also at the 2 rights tubes, they upgraded the input / output modules. The C2600 seems to be a nice upgrade in that regard... | |
| Which Mcintosh tube pre-amp? Wrong stereo5, and I have proof below. 2 internal pics of the analog board side of the C2500 and C2600. Clearly different. ( so its not just the dac )https://www.casimages.com/i/170104083930483890.jpg.htmlhttps://www.casimages.com/i/17010408393284... | |
| High Quality XLR IC's For My System I strongly suggest Shunyata Anaconda Ztron. They are a bargain used. | |
| Which Mcintosh tube pre-amp? Up from the C-2600, the sound is a big upgrade.So C-2600 or C-2700 , you’re in business. The latter has the newer dac ( da2 upgradeable module. ) |
