To see and feel the musicHey Brian, same to you! As a matter of fact, I thought of you the other day. I remember a long time ago we were talking about the sound of McIntosh SS amps and you mentioned you felt they had a rec... posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |
To see and feel the musicThanks! The posts couldn't be recovered. Oh well, starting off fresh is fine - I'm not so sure anyone ever read all the old stuff anyway. Many people don't even read the main summary as it is.<... posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |
To see and feel the musicThanks! I regularly alter toe-in. Pretty much each amp requires it slightly differently for soundstaging to be just right. Even certain cable swaps will require a change. So you're right - it is cr... posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |

Vivid MusicHi BMW (I'm a big BMW fan myself). Great looking room you've got there. Have you tried tube amps with your Unos yet?Arthur posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |
From Electrostats to Horns -More StepsI have the Z-Strip mainly for the circuit breakers. Neither it or the ICE filter do much below 300kHz so I don't consider them to be line conditioners. They don't isolate grounds either, so they ca... posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |
From Electrostats to Horns -More StepsI got on my hands and knees with my ear up to the woofer walls and there is no hum, nothing. I have them plugged into and MIT Z-Strip and and ICE filter, and into dedicated outlets.Arthur posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |
The Music RoomI very highly recommend the Tom Evans Linear A. It is a terrific match for my Uno Nanos. I agree with everything said in the 6moons review.Arthur posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |
To see and feel the musicI use all 5 of my amps - both McIntoshes, the Kora Aries, the Unison S2 and the Linear A. I'll use one for 1 or 2 months and then swap it out for another to enjoy a new perspective. In ... posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |
From Electrostats to Horns -More StepsHi BillI finally got some Avantgardes - Uno Nanos. Absolutely zero hum. They are dead silent and I love it. Finding amps however that are dead silent isn't all that easy but I've managed wi... posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |

To see and feel the musicI summarized my room treatment experience in the system write-up. I had a full set of Room Tunes, big bass traps a friend made, I also made some with the Corning 704 (I think that was it) and had t... posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |

To see and feel the musicI really like those Wyetech monoblocks you have. Very interesting and rare amps. I take it you feel they aren't enough power for the Legacys? posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |
To see and feel the musicThanks. It's been a ton of fun. I used to have an 8260 and liked its sound, but it was buggy. Have you had problems with yours? Mine needed abilify or something.I've been eyeing TVCs lately... posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |
To see and feel the musicI'm very sorry to say but the new Audiogon system lost all 265 posts that went along with my system. They represented 9 years worth of information and all my system notes, but now it's gone. So I'm... posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |
