Hi Romy, I had a background system for a while using either Kef 103.2 or tannoy gold 15¨ and McIntosh MC2205. I don't know anything about the other McIntosh gear but this particular amp had a reputation amongst french vintage nuts. My old Threshold...

Thanks for explaining, I understand now and yes I will not need to look at the Tribute transformers yet. AE europe sounds fine to me, they want around 450 euro each and I'll check on how long a wait. If the Tribute guy does come bac...

Maybe TU-1x is different altogether and I did not try yamaha but every other SS tuner (kenwood, pionneer , nakamichi )sounded like you described -cotton ball ,pork fat salt and pepper . Because of that I gave up on SS tuners. The best tuner I heard s...

Just a brief note on my recent addition: Placette Active preamp. Due to a recent purchase of Tannoy Golds, I had the opportunity to pull an old McIntosh SS amp out of the closet recently. This amp has gain controls, so I tried running it ...

I have the 515-Gs If I remember correctly, and I am trying to find suggestions on what is proper horn-loaded cabinet still. And I agree my tannoy golds so far have worked best with early 70's mcintosh 2205 (200w/channel). Otherwise I am a...

I'm strugling with dreaded Mcintosh Mr67 tuner . I borrowed one from a friend and it was very nice ;clear , crisp , dynamic so I went out and bought one for myself . It sounds like a mud and matches 100% of your description of average tube tuner...

I lost all hope for horn loaded Lowther speakers . Got Phile Mikey (fremmer) recommended TT and new old MC cartrige (benz Mc3) so analong front sounds comparable to old modded MCintosh CD player I have. I finished (took al ong time ) Hagerman c...

Above I made comments that despite my new Experimental Sansui TU-X1 with better parts is much better (I have someone who actually objectively measure it) but the old and not modified Sansui TU-X1 has that advantage of the unique tone that I val...

Hi,I'm new to "Romy the Cat's Home Page," was impressed when I read a thread comparison of the Lamm L1/L2 linestage, which prompted me to post here. While I'm not an electronic's wizard (gift is mechanical), audio has been part of my life, dating bac...

Hi,Have peope heard any of the new generation hybrid amps out there? I have often such miserable power to my home that about half the time it was useless to listen to my SET tube system. I always had a back-up solid-state amp to use when I could...

I did not read it, I rarely read those types of articles but what you describe is very common and very indicative for those people. They fly like butterflies from a manufacture to a manufacture, from dealer to dealer and from marketing campaign to ma...

It is shame that in 21 century we have such mediocre, not to say moronic, park of music servers.
Whoever does music servers t know stat a file server with uncompress 24-bit files is a phenomenal source of music. So, why we have not a lot of well-per...

Talking in my previous posts about the major inversion in high-end audio:

I think it is a simple case of different strokes for different folks.
Drdna writes about communicating the essence of sound - I write about the essence of music. He writes about wondering what Coltrane was thinking. I write about hearing him looki...

Another particle of a good Horn Propaganda. It was published in Sound Practices in 1994 and written by Joe Roberts. I disagree with quite many of the author’s statements but his strategic view that the majority of the horns and the horn installations...

what is audio ?
Audio is our reaction to sound , if there are audiophiles with different reactions then you may convince yourself Audio quality is relative to listener.
