iPod and a good amplifier/speakers

Last night up at my house in the Catskills I hooked up my iPod through the 1980 McIntosh MC2255 amplifier my uncle gave me and the NHT SuperOne speakers Mark Fleischman gave me a few years back...it sounds amazing. I have a McIntosh C33 pre-amp too, but I can't get it to work (I think it may have been damaged in transit to me.) Anyway, the amp from my uncle paired with the speakers from Mark sound incredible. I have been listening to music through a home-theater-oriented surround sound system for so long that I'd forgotten how breath-taking stereo can be with hi-end components. I listened to Beck's Sea Changes, Radiohead's OK Computer and the Cardigans' Super Heavy Gravity and am just wowed. It's really a completely different experience compared with listening to music through the Onkyo surround sound reciver and Polk surround sound speakers I have in NYC. Next up I'm going to plug a CD player straight in to this stero system, which should be even more spacious-sounding than the MP3s on the iPod. Music is a beautiful thing, indeed.

With crisp , clear sounds and great music , you will appreciate these good quality center channel speakers.
