Disappointing On Mcintosh......help
I bought my first Mc unit just this past month. It is my first true audiophile integrated and I am very happy with it. I considered Pass Labs and Hegel, the Hegel I would have been able to afford...Pass...not so much. My MA8900 sounds great. I hav... 
Guttenberg's Cornwall IV Review -- I'm in trouble
but If the recording is ’hot’ or ’peaky’ its somewhat exacerbated by the Klipsch.I have no idea of what constitutes "hot" or "peaky". I like Klipsch speakers. I bought my 1st pair in 1983 and their Heritage Line are great speakers. Try a McIntosh ... 
McIntosh MA8900 DAC not outputting more than 44.1 kHz
Thanks for the reply. I'll give that a try now (MacBook). That did the trick. Now I just have to learn how to use these software packages I bought so I can RIP some of my CD's.Thanks 
[help] I'm too Boomer to stream. :-(
Thanks for advice guys. 
4 must have hours of baby boomer music?
Actually Boomers ended in 1964. That makes the youngest 55-56 years old. Plenty of 70's and 80's music to be had ....sound garden may be a bit Gen X. (But I enjoy grunge and I'm 60). 
[help] I'm too Boomer to stream. :-(
Hey guys. I recently bought a MacIntosh MA8900 and wish to add a streamer for ripping CD's and storage as well as having Tidal capabilities for MQA at the hardware level and software. This streamer would be running through the on board DAC of the ... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Rush 2112. In honor of the late, great Neil Peart. 
Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this?
I can’t believe this is even worthy of discussion.......moving your cables changes something...not the speakers......same equipment....but just moving your cables. The insanity this hobby brings. It must be an "Audiophile Poltergeist"  that is beh... 
Focal Aria 948, Revel F208, Tekton Double Impact
Watched an interesting review of the Tekton DI on YouTube. Although they were lauded by the reviewer, he said that head to head with the Klipsch Forte III he preferred the Forte III.  
Cocktail Audio's New and latest X50pro Audiophile Music Streamer/server...Any Love?
In the end I bought a Innuous Zenith Mk III. Despite the fact that the Innuous brand is not reviewed in the audio magazines, they have a fabulous reputation in the online community. "You can't believe everything you read on the internet." ~... 
Short USB cables choices
Since they deliver 1's and 0's I would be interested in knowing how there would be an appreciable difference. Shielding issues would show up immediately .....you would not get anything.  
Should I still buy a CD player? Suggest one?
Prices have come down on the Cocktail Audio M45 as well. You could load it with 16 TB of Cd's, it's Roon ready and can read/unfold MQA as well. 
Lumin X1 latest Review like we have been saying
Thanks for the advert Audio Doctor Guys! Next time I have $14-15,000 in coin lying around I’ll consider grabbing one! 
Which of these power cords ?
That's a quote from a Mc source. Cleeds you're free to spend your coin on the cable. Until I see an independent review showing that there is a real need to spend on one, I'll stick with the manufacturer's recommendation.
