| Tube preamp top clearance--McIntosh or in general I have owned my C2300 since January and think it is very good. I am using Mapleshade Triplepoints underneath it and there is just an inch above it, but my rack is open on all 4 sides and heat build up is not a problem. In fact, the top barely gets... | |
| The Best $10,000.00 Table + Cartridge Like Kublakhan, after reading the review and actually hearing the Raven One + Graham Phantom combination at a friend's house I had to have one! So I now have the Raven One + Graham Phantom + Dynavector XX2 on order! Given the demand, I don't expec... | |
| Room Correction Systems and Electrostatics? I can't answer your question directly, but from my experience with my Quads (2805) and 3 different rooms, placement is extremely important for smoothing out the bass. You might try moving them out further from the front wall about 6 inches at a ti... | |
| Vinyl shops in Lexington KY.? I can't help you with Lexington, but let me know if you plan on coming over to Louisville during your stay here. It is about 70 miles and a straight shot from Lexington on Rt 64 through some beautiful horse country.We have several good vinyl shops... | |
| TW Raven One vs. Nottingham 294? I'm the guy Inman29 is referring to (hi Bill!) and from my perspective the Raven One is in a whole different class than my Spacedeck and Ace Space Arm. The level of musical detail, dynamics and tone I heard on Bill's Raven TT was the best I have e... | |
| Rogue Audio Perseus Preamp Vs. Magnum 99 I have owned them both, although not at the same time. Overall I prefer the Perseus, but I did have it upgraded by Mark O'Brien with about $500 of internal goodies.In my system, the Perseus is more neutral, much more transparent and dynamic. The 9... | |
| Quad ESL or Soundlab? Hi Spyddie,Just a different perspective on the Quad 2805's. I've owned mine for about 18 months and absolutely love them. I am using a Mac 275 amp and the new Mac c2300 preamp. After many different speakers over the years, the Quads are long term ... | |
| Rogue Stereo 90 & Perseus vs Cronus I owned the M150 and 99 Magnum combo for several years. Then later on I owned the Cronus (modified by Mark O). I now am using a Perseus with a McIntosh Mc275 MkV. I think that the Perseus-McIntosh combination is the best of the bunch. The Cronus w... | |
| Quad 2905 amp matching I have the Quad 2805 speakers and use a Mc275 (75 wpc) and a Rogue Cronus (30 wpc in triode). Both drive the Quads great although the Mc275 fills my 20 X 40 listening room better.When I had a smaller listening room, the 30 wpc Cronus did just fine... | |
| What interconnects work well with Mcintosh Gear? I have both Mapleshade Excalibur Plus and Nordost Quatrofil. I prefer the Mapleshade. The Mapleshade seems to have better initial attack and is more open and transparent compared to the Nordost. They look a bit "fragile" with the clear plastic she... | |
| Rogue Cronus too bright I've had my Cronus for about 4 months and have not noticed any brightness, harshness or tube glare. Mine has the upgrades mentioned above and I am using RCA Cleartops for the 12AU7s and Telefunkens for the 12AX7s. I have found that I am particular... | |
| After Audio Physic Vigo II's I had Virgo III's for about 4 years. I listened to many dynamic driver speakers in that time but never found anything that I liked better; many were different but not what I considered to be better in what I valued in music reproduction.Then I aud... | |
| Gallo Reference 3.1 vs Zu Druid Check out the 6 Moons reviews of the Zu Druids and the Gallos. Both were awarded the rare "Blue Moon Award". Srajan directly compares the Druids with the Gallos, I think in the Blue Moon Award write-up of the Druids.I owned the Druids for several ... | |

| Quad 2805 and room placement Hi Brian,I am a little confused about your room being 23 square feet, do you mean 230? If so, that is a little bigger than my room.I have been listening to my new 2805's for about 100 hours now and they sound fantastic! They are the best speaker I... |
