| Moon 700i vs 400M I own the 400M monoblocks... I have listened to the Moon's 240i, 340i and 600i integrated and the 330A and 400M amps. I specifically selected the monoblocks over the 700i because I listen to music louder than most. The guidance I was provided ... | |
| Mcintosh c2600 vs c2700 - any diff in SQ? I bought a demo C2600 and the dealer stated the primary difference is the DAC - it's modular and the C2700 came with the the newer version. I haven't listened to them back to back; however, I have not experienced any discernable difference betwee... | |
| Why do folks spend more on electronics than on speakers? I can imagine someone upgrading electronics after their initial purchase and having the value of electronics significantly exceed the speakers. At one point I have Sonus faber Sonetto Vs power by electronics worth 2.5 times the purchase price.... | |
| Speaker Recommendation Help Please. I like your layout - I love open concept and the modern touches. And I have a different layout but very large open area with 12'ft ceilings and an additional tray that goes up as well as the stairway going to the ground floor. An area rug and co... | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? I like modern design and appreciate the lack of clutter. I started my audio journey with a receiver with tape deck and a turn table and later a CD player. I've had an NAD integrated and went to separates with McIntosh C2600 and MC 302 with a str... | |
| Prioritizing Power Cable Upgrades by System Component. Source first, if you have preamp and amp components consider the preamp as a source. | |
| Just a public call out Nice! | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer And I’m thankful | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer @hilde45 I may be guilty of drinking will perusing this forum🤓 | |
| Solid State Phono Stages Good luck on your journey! I haven't explored the separate phono stage route; however, I am extremely pleased with the phono stage from my Moon 390 - it is derived from their 610 phono stage. | |
| McIntosh MC 462 I think you will be pleased in the sound improvements - the additional power from the 462 combined with going to separates I think you will notice a significant difference in music dynamics. | |
| D/A converter built into amp. Separate components versus 'integrated' solutions can be wonderful and there is always a compromise. The big compromise is capability and features versus cost. Could a stand alone DAC fix it - possibly. What is the cost you are willing to spend... | |
| D'Agostino Progression Integrated Amp I've heard it and it's very articulate and quick. It's 20K so there's stiff competition though certainly strong first impression. | |
| Mcintosh MC462 versus Luxman M10X Awesome OP...enjoy your journey. My journey is similar to yours. My first really high-end equipment was McIntosh and when I upgraded from an entry level DAC-Streamer it opened my eyes to other manufacturers and the 'house' sound each has. For m... | |
| Best upgrade: amp or pre-amp? @papyneau I think you will notice a ’change’ regardless of your decision to go to components or an integrated because you will be acquiring ’newer’ gear. McIntosh doesn’t make it anymore and they have (and will) continue to evolve their products. ... |
