| Which Mcintosh tube pre-amp? The best is the new C2700. It also has a dac based on the ESS 9028 chip. This dac is an excellent one. | |
| Disappointing On Mcintosh......help I have a C47 preamplifier and it passed the dac direct to amplifier test of resolution. So those who say McIntosh is veiled compared to ARC are just full of it... or just tried older McIntosh pieces or their warmer tube preamps...What kind of test... | |
| Disappointing On Mcintosh......help Like Audio Research never used cheap parts. There are numerous threads about reliability problems of their volume control ( cheap chip). And they all swear this brand is better than McIntosh. Even Primaluna uses better volume pots ( ALPS). The guy... | |
| Disappointing On Mcintosh......help McIntosh is geared to the warmer side. When matching darker speakers ( Sonus Faber) with McIntosh, you need to use the tone control. I have Dynaudio Special 40 and a C47 preamplifier. I have the treble ajusted to +8 db on most of my music to get t... | |
| From bryston to simaudio The sound you are getting now is 90% a result of your preamp. Even if you change the amplifier, you will still have the Moon 390 dictating much of the flavor of the sound. Upgrading your preamp ( or adding one to the 390 DAC) is the key here. The ... | |
| thinking to buy Luxman M900u mono , what other similar amps should i look? I own the M-900u, and the piano reproduction is like crazy good never heard before. The weight of each note is astonishing. The harmonics also. | |

It’s tranformer is like no other brand makes, made of huge solid core flat copper. The capacitors are huge also, and japanese cream of the crop. They are connected with pur... | |
| Dynaudio Confidence 20 vrersus Kef reference 1 Contour 20 or Contour 30. These are the Dynaudio sweet spot, along with the Special 40. | |
| Levinson 5805 Cool. My bad then. | |
| Levinson 5805 You misunderstood me, I was sarcastic. I own a recent Mac preamp myself, and do not understand those who snobs the brand... | |
| Levinson 5805 Should have chosen McIntosh instead. Oh wait , audiosnobs say it is not real high end.Well I guess it’s reliable. | |
| Lumin X1 latest Review like we have been saying Part of the X1 secret is the class A Lundahl output transformers. Makes for a more musical approach. The ESS9038 pro chip is also contributing to the stellar end result you are hearing. | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Preamp = emotionless? Simple solution. The OP just hasn’t found the good preamp for his tastes. What he is seeking is ENERGY in the sound, along to go with the euphonia that the PL is giving him. The PL is just not the one. Preamps with energy I know of:Naim, Simaudio ... | |
| Problem with McIntosh C-47 and MCT-450 using Digital DIN cable to playback SACD Who still need or buy transports like the MCT 450 nowadays ? 😳 | |
| $30K DAC in a $70K system - wise or ridiculous? joshfilmTotaldac is beeig destroyed on asr for mesuring poorly compared to 300$ dacs and having less build quality than the average diy product...If you like the sound of your 25k Totaldac, that is fine. But please don’t tell us it is a good value... |
