| Best tube integrated with Merlin TSM-MMI? FWIW the guy I bought my Joule pre from was buying Thor gear for his Merlins. Are you looking to spend 4k because you keep asking about $1200 integrateds? | |
| Is McIntosh a stepping stone into HI/FI? Stringreen please do elaborate on the Mac gear compared to the Ayre. I've found Ayre to be a little more focused and clear while retaining the musicality if that makes sense. FWIW I haven't heard Mac beyond the 352 and similar pre.I listened to Ma... | |
| McIntosh MA6300 I sold my 6300 for $2150 almost new. It bought it sealed and the woman claimed it was won in an auction. More likely her boyfriend worked at a dealer and it fell off the back of the truck. I would also look at the Ayre integrated. I liked it bette... | |
| Cat-proofing your speakers... I wouldn't even spray a Wilson with cat urine. | |
| Nordost Frey vs Audience Au24e interconnect Your cables cost more than you speakers. Might want to re-prioritize try each cable again. Glad it works with the Vienna. | |
| Good CD for testing bass response Fionna Apple, Beth Orton. | |
| Does long hair destroy the soundstage? My father in law has crazy ear hair, like you read about, and he loves to listen to system changes. Maybe he would hear all the way to the generating station if I machete that forest! | |
| Archiving CDs to HD...suggestions? I copied all my cd's to a Mac mini and they sound better than they did through my CX7eMP. My DAC is the latest QB-9. All copied in AIFF plus a hundred or so hi-rez downloads. | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore 1985 Bose vs. polk all over again. Both great for the money but have much to be desired. It's a pleasure to listen but a hobby to pick them apart. | |
| Avalon Eidolon or Parsifal Encore FWIW I would hold the Verity's and sell everything else and replace it with a 100 watt full tube system. You are only getting 50% of what the PE can do with your gear. The Avalons are great but you will be in the same place IMO with the ancillaries. | |
| Harbeth compact 7 ES3 for a large room ? Sometimes in edit mode the word count gets limited. If so just copy and paste to a fresh page and you can ramble on forever :) | |
| A warning to all about HUGE Subwoofers I had great seats for a few of the Pink Floyd Division Bell shows and "Sorrow" taught me that bass can rattle all the little bones in your ears. Not very comfortable. | |
| Why Not More Conversation about VAC? I owned an Avatar SE and I had the same experience as Maineiac. Called Kevin with some questions and he was on the phone within 20 seconds and seemed excited to talk about this 8 year old amp. We had a lengthy conversation led completely by him. H... | |
| Budding Virgin Audiophile Needs Help Can you please never use the words budding virgin again. | |
| The Wall: Roger Waters 2010 This is one of the most historic concert tours of our time. Go if you can. |
