When it comes to shipping glass-front McIntosh amps, specific requirements apply and they are ably described in the following PDF guide: http://034... | |

| How to physically move large heavy 100lb amplifiers easily (up and downstairs) You people live in a world where neighborhood teenagers will help with menial tasks for $10 or $20? Wow. | |
| A real "wake up call" available to most....High End Audio vs. Mainstream...... The Road Less Traveled is a great poem. If you read it closely, it is about delusion Speaking of, did you even read the OP? | |
| Why are there so many wooden speakers? MDF is easy to bend?? I've been doing it all wrong. | |
| Is ebay feedback worth anything on Audiogon? Necro thread, but FWIW it's no longer 1995 or even 2005 and none of us was born yesterday. So if someone can't point to a track record *somewhere* I tend to look askance. | |
| 2020 quest for stereo amp with DAC for about 1000 USD I think you'd be very happy with the Cambridge and if you wanted to save real money you can get the model it replaced (CXA60) and quite possibly be just as happy, plus a little bit richer. | |

| Hahahahahahahaha WHAT ARE THE ODDS??? Finally, a story that breaks the endless pattern of Et Cetera. | |
| Need help replacing my beloved Magnepan.... Tend to agree with Sunmoon upthread who says ribbons or AMTs might be in your future. Modestly sized towers with ribbon tweets convinced me that I don't need Maggies to get most of what Maggies deliver, along with a couple of good things they're ... | |
| bigger posts=better sound? Mass aside, my investigations have taught me that contact area is important. This is very much a function of the connectors you use as well as the configuration of the binding posts themselves. It's why I prefer spades. | |
| Multi-room streamer (alternative to Sonos) Seems like 'Chromecast Audio' would suit your needs, and it's very inexpensive. A minor detail is that it's not being produced any more, but you can find them (even new) on the usual sites. A bonus for tweakers is that if you don't like the onbo... |
