Incredible sound from this vintage jewel. Wonderful in so many ways. One of my all time favorite audio components.
Maybe the best sounding amps I've ever heard. Perfect match with MX110z. These were restored by Yves Beauvais and look almost as beautiful as they sound. GE 6L6GC, Telefunken smooth plate 12ax7, Black plate RCA 12bh7, Gold Lion b749(thanks Jim McShane), and RCA 5u4g.
Simply one of the finest sounding turntable on the planet. This is probably my favorite audio component of all time. This one sports a gorgeous Ortofon style solid walnut plinth and a walnut armboard from Jim Campbell. I recently added the SME M2-9 tonearm and it sounds wonderful with an array of different cartridges.
Great new 9" tonearm. I'm thoroughly impressed ol chap.
These 12" dual concentric drivers in custom black walnut cabinets make some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard from a loudspeaker. I love them driven by McIntosh MC30 amplifiers. These have updated crossover networks and SwitchCraft binding posts. They rest in StarSound Sistrum stands
- Altec 15095A transformers
Used as moving coil step up devices for Koetsu Onyx Sapphire, Koetsu Black, Monster Alpha 1, Sumiko Talisman Sapphire, Denon DL103, and others running into the McIntosh MX110z phono section
- Dueland DCA12GA, DCA16GA, and DCA20GA
Using DCA16GA and DCA20GA as RCA interconnects and DCA12GA as speaker cable. If you haven't tried these yet, you owe it to yourself to give them a chance because they sound great....especially with quality vintage tube audio equipment.
- Star Sound Technologies Original Sistrum stands
Used under big Tannoy speakers with incredible results. Highly recommended.
- Star Sound Technologies Sistrum Apprentice
I use this under my MX110Z. The performance improvement here in my system has been noticeable to say the least. Great product makes the MX110Z sound even more impressive.
- VPI Industries Aries Scout
A quality performer that is dynamic as hell with toe tapping musicality. Solid foundation for playing records. Mounted to the JMW9 tonearm is a Dynavector DV20xh with SoundSmith ruby cantilever and fine line stylus. Purist Audio Design Venustas phono ics run the signal out to the MX110z phono section. Ginko cover.
This one has been fitted with Soundsmith ruby cantilever and fine line diamond by Peter at SoundSmith.
The most amazing phono cartridge I've ever laid ears on...or eyes. A masterpiece from the master, Sugano.
Every self respecting audiophile needs one in their cartridge collection.
I love the romantic Koetsu sound. This one has it too.
- Purist Audio Design Dominus power cable
I believe this is the best power cable EVER made. The fluid jacketed Dominus power cable used with the McIntosh D100 DAC. This cable will allow you to hear what your equipment is really capable of. I have never heard a power cable do what Dominus can do. Incredible....
- Purist Audio Design Venustas Preasto Phono
This is the best value interconnect on earth for my money. Incredibly solid, lifelike presentation of the music. Opening my ears to the music on a daily basis. Thanks Mr. Aud.
- Purist Audio Design Ultimate USB cable
Used from PC to the McIntosh D100 and I love the excellent sound. A well balanced, organic, superbly detailed, full bodied, and musical USB cable here folks. Once you hear it, you'll never use that Belden again.
Great sounding DAC with extreme functionality. I don't miss the Lampizators because this D100 is producing some of the most enjoyable digital sound I've heard. When used with the PAD Dominus power cable and PAD Utimate USB this DAC has truly great sound and holds its own with some of the best. D100 also sports an impressive headphone output.
A fine sounding silver disc spinner and wonderful transport for D100 too
- LAT International AC-2 MkII power cable
Silverfuse power cables with upgrade Oyaide p-37 rhodium plated connectors. This is a very quiet, nuetral, and very well balanced power cable, made even smoother by the Oyaide connectors. Used on the Sony 65" 4k monitor and the PC running JRiver Media Center 20.
- Dell Upgraded PC running JRiver Media Center 20
Really enjoying using JRiver and I'm listening to 1411 bit rate WAV files running through the PAD Ultimate USB cable into the McIntosh D100 playing at 32bit 196kHz
