| Fancy Audio Electrical Outlet Causing Problems? The sound is really frustrating. I've been running the system night and day and it doesn't seem to be breaking if that's the issue. The sound is just muddy, like there's a blanket over it. Surely, a wall socket wouldn't effect the sound that much.... | |

| Fancy Audio Electrical Outlet Causing Problems? No, no dedicated circuits. My wife would have me institutionalised if I did that. | |
| What am I doing wrong? Can't find right CD player. You could add a seperate DAC to a disc changer and that might help (if it has a digital out). Multi disc players are intended more for convenience than audiophile sound. | |
| Speaker Recs for McIntosh and Jupiter Combo? Under $3000 | |
| Naim -- Fatiguing? I actually demoed the Naim series 5 today (amp, preamp, and cdp with a pair of triangle speakers). It was very involving and I loved the sound in a toe-tapping way with good air around instruments and a pace that never slowed down as the music bec... | |
| Why has Audiogon suspended "Wanted" ads? I still cannot understand why someone would cheat someone else or why someone would provide an unfair deal. Either I was raised to treat everyone fairly with full disclosure or this feels intuitively like the right thing to do. In all my life expe... | |
| Headphone amplification Who in the US, or specifically, in the San Francisco Bay area, carries Sugden? I'm very interested. | |
| Experiences with your "Better Halves" My wife has zero interest in this hobby, in fact it drives her crazy, but she tells it like it is about how something sounds and I appreciate her unbiased opinion when I'm too into something. | |
| Which system with Tannoy D700 ? I auditioned some McIntosh equipment on Tannoy D700s and they were splendid together. Really! I bought the McIntosh and I also bought some D500s on the Internet based on this experience (the D700s were too big for my wife). The McIntosh tamed the ... | |
| Best Audio AND Video stores in Dallas/FW? Marvins Electronics used to be THE place in Ft. Worth. They've been there for years and were always very helpful and carried the top brands with top service. They moved to a new store on Hulen some years ago. | |
| How long have you had the SAME GEAR? I just upgraded a 15 year old system. This is my main system and I'll keep the new one for a long time too. I have a second system in my office that I'm allowing myself to futz with and experiment with high-quality, inexpensive components. My gran... | |
| Rock albums that sound good on your system? As an old Genesis fan I've been buying the remasters recently for my new system (McIntosh integrated, Arcam CDP, Tannoy speakers) and they sound really good. It's like rediscovering old records, but they sound better than they did then. I'm talkin... | |
| Newbie help with speakers for Mac I have a Mc integrated amp with an Arcam CD92. I have a pair of Tannoy D500s and they have good synergy with the Mc. I bought demos off of Audiogon for significant savings over retail. If you can afford the size, the D700s are actually more perfec... | |
