| Soft, smooth organic SS integrated amps? According to McCormack's website, they have suspended production on all products and no longer have back inventory---probably due to COVID? Anyway, D-Sonic amps are quite good and should be within your budget. Good luck! | |
| Is your system amazing and you just dont see it? We want to 'upgrade' or improve nearly everything else in our lives---iPhones, cars, appliances, etc. So why not our audio systems? It's fun to try something new. If you're happy with your system, good for you. If you want to shop around, go for i... | |
| How Do You Store Your Record Collection? Recommendations Please! I have IKEA Kallax units which work just fine---lots of different configurations you can choose from. | |
| Taking time (and time outs) to enjoy the ride... Great points to all. One of my favorite 'feelings' when listening to my music/system is when I get actual goosebumps. It doesn't happen all the time---but when it does, it's truly moving. | |
| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? 1. Live Aid in Philadelphia 1985 2. Madonna Blonde Ambition Tour 1990 3. Elton John in Central Park 1980 4. REM Work Tour 1987 | |

| Pass Labs Int 25 vs Int 60 @stevehuff Great review of the INT-25! Being class A, how warm does it get? Thanks. | |
| Bookshelf Speaker Stand Difference? I've often thought the same thing. I have a pair of Dynaudio Special 40s with Dynaudio stands. However, I've thought about trying the Focal Kanta 1's and wondered if the Dynaudio stands would be ok with the Kantas. But, get this, the Focal stands ... | |
| Why so many angry audiophiles? Absolutely!!! 100% agree with this post. Music (even without concerts) will get us through these dark days. | |
| What did your system look like 30 years ago? Denon PMA-757 Pre-main amp, B & O Beogram TT, Canton Karat 200 speakers, Nakamichi BX-150 deck, Denon CDP. Good times! | |
| Does Age Matter? 55 yo here and I listen to mostly digital. I have a nice TT but I play it less than streaming. I also play some old mix tapes on my 1991 Denon deck. I have good DAC and Spotify Premium suits me just fine. Oh, I also play CDs but still, mostly digi... | |
| High end Class D amps? @phillyb @noble100 Such interesting dialogue. I admit I don't quite understand a lot of the specific acoustic specs, etc....but I enjoy reading others' opinions about them. It makes me wonder about brands such as Mola Mola, Merrill and JR that alw... | |
| REVIEW: Raven Audio Blackhawk Integrated, Soniquil Cables.... Customer service is very important to me. There's only one hifi store in my city and I have never had one good experience there even when I was just window shopping. I've given them a 'second chance' over and over and nothing changes. I know an ac... | |
