| Why is it so good? thanks for thanks for your response! Thanks definitely haven’t taken vinyl out of the equation. It remains my favorite format. Wondering if I need to upgrade my source components for vinyl and CD?please help me out | |
| Old Paradigm studios against new monitors? Have the Studio 20s still and they sound much better than newer titans or monitors. Try to get Studio 40s if you can. | |
| Tempted to buy a Macintosh I never cared for Mcs but probably never listened to them in the right system/room. Got a great deal on a MA 5200 and was very impressed with it. Took some time matching it with various source components and speakers. And it took some time to soun... | |
| Looking for an integrated amp around 4000 to 5000. The mfrs that I have in that range are YBA, parasound, Hegel, McIntosh, Moon, Jolida, Plinius and Musical Fidelity. These are all integrated and I will die with them. I know there are lots of other good choices out there but these ones punch above... | |

Went through all the formats. Back to vinyl but still listen to CDs, digital, streaming. Loved the journey of... | |

| Very small room! Help me with monitor speakers Some great suggestions here. The best speakers I have used in my office have been Totem. A little power hungry but 100 watts ss should do nicely. Also had a pair of Paradigm studio 20s that were great although geared more to rock than jazz. You ca... | |
| Location of computer relative to system Excellent feedback! The Mc runs pretty cool but I agree heat is not a friend. I will get a longer usb and plug computer into a different ac circuit. Thanks much! | |
| Location of computer relative to system Hi it is hooked up with USB. I have it sitting on my sub right now which probably isn’t good for either. It sounds great though, can’t hear any increase in floor noise. If I put it on my McIntosh Amp it Willis not block any vents due to their loc... | |
