| tube power amp for my thiels cs6 speakers McIntosh MC275 has a two ohm tap. Rated at 75 watts a channel but it's more like 90 watts.You can get them used on the GoN for $2300 to $2800 or better yet get two for 5K and use them in mono for 150 watts or 190 watts with upgraded NOS tubes. | |
| Giant Killer Speaker Cable For ZU Presence Gary look into Analysis Plus Big Silver. $1050 for 2M | |
| Dali Helicon 400s with Classe amp You can also obtain the 400 MK I for less money. | |
| tube amp, or SS, Need to know what your speakers are...How much power do you need...What type of music...I know some audiofiles with 15W SET amp that are very impressive with minimonitors. | |
| Totem Mani 2 sig vs Dynaudio special 25s I've audition both and preferred the Manis because of the bass. The tweeter I don't remember being an significant advantage for either speaker.If you have great amp(s) to push the Manis or 25s you will be greatly satisfied. | |

| Ayre CX-7e or Aging Krell CDP + Benchmark DAC-1? Not sure about this one... but leaning toward listening to Pat Metheny on the Ayre CX-7e.My reference is based on listening to all Ayre gear with Vandersteens. Clarity and resolution with good refinement. | |
| Jolida JD-100 vs. Ayre CX-7E Should be happy wit the CX-7e or Cary 303/300 both are fine players. | |
| Telephones for Audiophiles? Your kidding right? That's all my kid does is text me. Sometimes she will call but mostly...text. | |
| McIntosh amp opinions? Try upgrading the power cord to the MC 225 to give you another improvement before making component changes. | |
| Telephones for Audiophiles? Tough to beat the iPhone. The user interface and resolution is much better experience from my Palm Treo. |
