| Magico A3 to A5 I respectfully disagree stereo5, my A5s are driven by a McIntosh C52 preamp into a MC312 power amp. I have some 15ips 2T tapes that literally sound like live music in my home, that good. After nearly 55 years as an audiophile, rarely have I heard ... | |
| Magico A3 to A5 I purchased my Magico A5 speakers nearly 2 years ago and could not be happier with them. To put it simply, they reproduce music that can sound amazingly like live music. Everyone who has heard these speakers is impressed. Build quality is second t... | |
| 45 Singles You Just Had to Buy What an interesting thought provoking post. In my nearly 69 years on Earth, I have only purchased one single, America by the Nice (Keith Emerson’s band prior to forming ELP). Wonderful music I can still hear playing in my head, what a great memory... | |
| I’m visiting Japan. Just go to the Akihabara district in Tokyo to see the greatest collection of high end HiFi on sale anywhere in the world! Plus, Tokyo is a great city to visit; very clean, safe, great public transportation, cultured, amazing food and very friendl... | |
| You've run some pretty fancy MC's, but the _______ MM cartridge really impressed me I run a Clearaudio Maestro V2 Ebony in an SME IV tonearm on a Michell Engineering GyroDec. Sounds fine to me and tracks every disc I play, effortlessly. Including DD LPs cut at high levels. Sound quality using MFSL One-Step Ultradisc is about as g... | |
| B&W 801: Matrix s2, Nautilus, 801D deep bass response Sort of. Stared out with N801 and after nearly 18 years (?) upgraded to N802D. Much to my surprise bass on the N802D was far superior to the N801. Tighter and deeper. Soundstage and dynamic range was also noticeably improved with the N802D. In con... | |
| Ozzy Restoration OTARI MX-5050BII2 I had a Revox HS 2T B77 MK2 and upgraded to a fully restored PR99 MK2, absolutely perfect in terms of build and SQ. Could not be happier. Purchased from TechTrader in Switzerland ( https://www.techtrader.ch/PR99MKII.htm ). Shipping from Europe was... | |
| Gale GT 2101 questions A Gale GT2101 TT is extremely rare. People on this site maybe able to help you: https://groups.google.com/g/gale-audio If I remember correctly, someone posted an article on the site about a GT2101 complete refurbishment. Just checked, there are ... | |
| Streamer Upgrade Bluesound Node To Aurender N10 Thanks ghdprentice and others, you are absolutely correct, the Aurender N10 is a big improvement over the Bluesound Node. Finally installed the N10 last night and the improvement in SQ is immediately very noticeable; clearer/sharper sound and very... | |

| McIntosh preamps I use a MC312 with a C52 preamp, the combination works perfectly for me. I am sure the MC352/C52 combined action would also work very well. Besides, it's McIntosh gear that sounds and looks spectacular IMHO. | |
| Reel to Reel Machine for 15 ips playback R2R versus vinyl, no comparison in my opinion. I have a very good vinyl setup; Michell Engineering GyroDec, SME IV and Clearaudio Maestro V2 Ebony. At the end of the day, a good 15ips tape on the Revox PR99 MKII sounds noticeably better, often, ju... | |
| Reel to Reel Machine for 15 ips playback I purchased a completely refurbished/rebuilt Revox PR99 MK2 from this company 2 years ago: https://www.techtrader.ch Cost and shipping to the USA was very reasonable for a R2R tape deck this good that looks and performs like new. SQ is the very b... |
