| Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference? @Millercarbon Just asking what cables transformed your system? I do hear difference but I have never found a cable to transform my system although I would pretty much be open to hear that!IMO cables can be used to fine tune a system but my questi... | |
| Say a fella wants to build an SET monoblock based on the 300B.. The kits are one way of learning but you also get what you pay for. Why use that tube? What are you intending to drive? If you are looking for a beautiful sounding tube use the 45 tube IMO. If you are going to build an amp go Class A design.Ha... | |
| About the importance of the room vs the electronics Thank God - now my Bose Wave Radio will sound so good with my new room treatments! Your room cannot make a piano sound as real as a system can because of room treatments IMO.Happy Listening. | |
| What would be your favorite 3 tracks that demonstrate how great your system sounds? Dean Peer - bass guitaristRickie Lee Jones - Pop PopHugh Masekela - HopeTrijntje Oosterhuis - Human Nature songIMO if you are not using an excellent recording then you are only hearing a compressed sound which in my experience can tell you nothing... | |
| Two defective pieces in a row - unreasonable to demand refund? Really, it is not the dealers fault and probably not McIntosh's fault. I ship items all the time. Had my packing materials made by the company that does the Peloton exercise bikes. Once the shipping companies get a hold of them who knows what th... | |

| Vandersteen Model 5, 5A 5C Owners Johnny R - Thanks - but the owners manual does not answer any of my questions. I want to know what others have done/tried and their opinion on the sound impact if any that they heard in their system. The manual does not tell me what amplifiers t... | |

| Burned Out Tubes will be tubes - even new production tubes can have an issue.First learn what makes the sound - sound the way it does.Miller - diodes eh, resistors yes capacitors yes - transformers chokes yes but it comes down to the design DHT, point-to-po... | |
| Soft, smooth organic SS integrated amps? Two amps I would recommend are HK Citation 16 and Naim. Some older Luxman offer what you are looking for. Mac is another good option. Otherwise none of the recommendations I see above are IMO not what you are looking for.Happy Listening. | |
