| Sunfire Cinema Grand Signature Great Amp! I owned it before my krell stuff. Other than a little lean in the bass, it has outstanding sound. I didnt notice the bass untill I replaced it with an amp costing three tims as much. Good luck!........Vader | |
| Preamp(tube) recomendations The BAT stuff is very good indeed, but listen to the CAT ULTIMATE! They will manufacture with balanced outputs at the customers request, as a matter of fact I just saw one listed here last week or so with the balanced option. The Mark Levinson gea... | |
| MIT 750 Magnum - opinions please Hi Glen, wow tough comparison! I dont know for sure, I'm only guessing here but I have extensive experience with MIT cables so my guess is as good as anyone elses. I would say the would be very close, with the 770's edging out the 750's with the r... | |
| Mark Levinson 380S connectivity -Help Sorry I havnt responded, my local dealer called with a new toy. He just received a great trade in for me to eval. Anyway getting back to your questions; first part you are correct. Any "unity gain" or "pass-through" takes the preamp out of the sig... | |
| MIT 750 Magnum - opinions please Sorry, not fimiliar with most of your equipment. How did you come across MIT products? I only ask because most MIT dealers carry the same electronics, Spectral,ML,Krell,Theta and Classe. These are the brands that match well with MIT. Be careful no... | |
| Power cables best home? Always work the chain from the front end down, transport/dac or cd player first, preamp second, and amp last. This goes for upgrading cables or installing isolation devices as well...i.e.(cones,shelves,platforms) follow the signal, source to the o... | |
| MIT 750 Magnum - opinions please If you can get into the V-4's, do it! If not the magnum offers big improvements over what you have now. Same sonic signature just more sound. Make sure the rest of your cables are MIT as well to take full advantage of the system. What components d... | |
| Mark Levinson 380S connectivity -Help Thats exactly the way to go! I use the same setup with my Krell KRC-HR. It has the pass through for which i have my MC-1 connected. Have your cake and eat it too. Good luck. | |
| Speaker upgrade - please advise. Kennyt, I agree with your assessment on the bryston/B&Wcombo, that may not be the best match, but he is using a tube pre and cardas cables. That stuff is warm. The kimber will cause it to sound bright. I would avoid them in this case. I'm a bo... | |
| 8 Ohm Speakers I dont know of any speakers made over 8 ohms, what speakers are you looking at? | |
| Speaker upgrade - please advise. Forget Dynaudio or Martin logan if your considering tubes.Both of these speakers are hard to drive and have nominalimpedance of 4ohms or less. Watch who you take advice fromthere are some know it all clowns out there. Plan your system before you p... | |
| Cables for Mark Levinson 36S Check out the transparent stuff, its very good! The ultra or the reference should work well with your level of equipment. | |
| Best AES/EBU I like the Illuminations Orchid! Try many cables untill you find the one that works the best with your equipment. by the way its hard to recomend a cable without knowing your system. check out the cable company, they have a loaner system. Good luck. | |
| New home theater advice? Looks like Thunders has you on the right track, check out the Pioneer pro 610 or 710 hdtv's for around $7k. also check out lexicon, krell and thiel as well. good luck. | |
| Classic Levinson Amps Mark Levinson is still in business, after selling his old company "Cello" because he again got screwed by his partner, his new company is called Red Rose Music. He operates out of new york. I hope he is a better designer than business man. Hope th... |
