| Changing Of The Guard at McIntosh The first of what is likely to be more changes to come. Who’s up for some Mc headphones or McLifestyle sound systems? Get your wallets ready. | |
| Subwoofer Question Yes as many have shared. I have stereo subs with my 2 main systems. A pair of subs with a pair of speakers in 2.2 setups. Sounds like the subs and speakers are all in one, so I can’t pick out the subs location when listening. A second properly... | |
| Remastered CDs, HDCDs, SACDs Thanks for the info. I like a lot but not all remixed and remastered CDs. Pink Floyd’s Animals and Deep Purple’s Machine Head come to mind. I Like some but not all of the Steve Wilson Jethro Tull and Yes remixes. I find the sound quality stream... | |
| What do you care about in this hobby? 1. Sound quality. It has to sound good to me in my room with my equipment. 2. Looks. It has to look cool and blend in with the other gear. 3. Cost. I only buy it if I can afford it. 4. Customer Service. More important than ever in my experi... | |
| Speakers "Too Big" for room Looks good and glad to hear it sounds good. Speakers too big - clickbait to any audiophile. If you can get them through the door they’re not too big. If they don’t fit, you need a bigger room. | |
| "I Trust My Ears" Your brain and ears work together to interpret sound waves as music so I trust both. If it sounds good to me that’s what counts. And it has changed over the years. My brain is smarter and more experienced but my hearing isn’t as good especially... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Alice Cooper - The Revenge of Alice Cooper. They got the old band back together more or less 51 years later. | |
| Do you have a speaker that’s not a big name maker but punches above its weight? Why? Philharmonic. All of their speakers are excellent and well priced for what you get. Their customer service is also outstanding in my experience. | |
| Why don’t more members post their systems in their profile? I posted mine a while ago but it keeps changing. Kind of like using my yearbook picture for my profile. Some details change over time but the spirit remains the same. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Talking Heads - More Songs About Buildings and Food. Another great reissue with a concert from 78. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath and Paranoid and Volume 4. RIP Ozzy | |
| How can different CAT5/6 cables affect sound. I was having issues with a consistent WiFi connection so I went with an Ethernet cable from my router to my Innuos Zen MK3 streamer. I’ve had a great experience with Blue Jeans Cable. This time was no different. I ordered a cat 6a cable made to... | |
| Your opinions on the Polk R700 speakers I listened to a pair at home. The bass was excellent. The tweeter was not great. It wasn’t bright to me. I’d say it was flat and not as good as soft dome tweeters I’ve heard. I didn’t keep them. | |
| Local pickup for speakers - should I let the buyer in the house or use the the garage? I never do business at my home. I’ll meet someone in town to pickup what I’m selling. Some sellers have let me in their house but that’s what they’ve requested. | |
| CD's or Vinyl? CDs and no gun needed lol. LPs were great and the gatefold albums and inserts and pictures look better big but CDs have it from there. You didn’t ask about streaming but that has overtaken CDs for me. I have my Qobuz playlists with me to play o... |
