| Fusion Audio cable? Hello Jerry! Good to hear from you. Glad you are well my friend. You could not be more right about the many expensive power cables out there that have a hard time pleasing across the entire frequency range.The sonics you are describing from the... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 First off, I have no experience with LM amps yet. Secondly, it seems as if no one here has shown real experience with a properly updated MC225 which surprises me, so I would like to throw in my two cents. I have used a Terry DeWick updated Mcint... | |
| 5 most recognizable voices in American music? Nobody mentioned Tony Bennett!Also, the late great Leon Russell, a very recognizable voice. | |
| What SS preamp compares to a tube preamp If you don't want the tube hassle, but still want full bodied accurate lifelike sound, then I bet you'll like a McIntosh SS preamp. The control it can give you over the listening space and inferior recordings is a nice bonus, and has certainly a... | |
| Looking for recommendations - vintage amp & preamp to go with Ohm Walsh 2's I used Ohm Walsh 3 for a good period of time and really enjoyed them. I think jedinite24 is on target with the Sansui AU-517 integrated amp recommendation. The AU-717 would also be a good choice IMO. Last but not least, I think that a McIntosh M... | |
| Ry Cooder recommendation... +1 for Chicken Skin Music, Paradise and Lunch, and Into the Purple Valley....classic wonderful Ry Cooder.I am also enjoying My Name is Buddy and I Flathead | |
| Looking for seperates under $5k~ McCormack gear is very nice and is a great way to go IF you like the McCormack sound. One has to figure that out for oneself. I've owned quite a few pieces of Steve's equipment over the years. SMcAudio upgraded my DNA-.5 and my DAC-1. The DAC-... | |
| Mockery of Audiophiles I can see your point through your veil of sarcasm mward. Is there a rule against reviving old threads here on Audiogon? Just curious??? | |
| Mockery of Audiophiles I left out actor & of course....wild and crazy guy!!! | |
| Why is my turntable sounding so muddy? Could there be corrosion on any of the connections? Maybe it's time to clean the contacts? | |
| Mockery of Audiophiles Thank you Hammy! We need more informative posts like this one on Agon that help doubters to understand that cable technology involves very real science and that properly designed cable provide very real performance increases over the average stuf... | |
| What do audiophiles want from a cable? Anytime I insert new cable into the system, I let it play overnight and during the day while away at work. When I come home that next evening, the cables have usually settled in and are sounding the way they were meant to sound. Unless of course... | |
| Been "Gone" 10 Years...What Have I Missed? The Gold Lion KT88 will transform the sound of the PL. The GL are well balanced throughout the frequency range, are extended on top and bottom, and have nice smooth midrange that is more laid back than in your face. The military Mullards are cer... | |
| looking pre tube for mc452 @mati1979 I think you'd have to try the CJ ET-3 with MC452 to hear for yourself whether or not it is what you are looking for. Don't rule out trying SS McIntosh preamp, I never thought I would ever move away from a tube preamp until I heard a C42... | |
| Two McIntosh 275's or Single MC452??? The only way to find out which works best for you is to try both. I used the MC275 for a long time and loved it. I now use MA7000. I gave up a little heart and soul/midrange magic of tubes for SS bass authority and large room filling dynamic ca... |
