| Electric cars will ruin late night listening? felt he now had DC in his line because his tube amp started to get a mechanical hum. I assume your repair guy measured DC current in his line versus simply "feeling" he's got issues. Regardless, wouldn't a decent power conditioner resolve thi... | |
| Electric cars will ruin late night listening? Either this post is a joke … or this is how some entrepreneurs come up with ideas to sell snake oil to gullible “audiophiles”. Good lord! | |
| How to tell McIntosh MC452 and MC462 difference Not exactly what you were asking for but If cost (savings) is a factor, you might find a demo 452 still for a lot cheaper than a new 462. The audible difference between the 2 is negligible from all I researched. I was able to score one for a lot l... | |
| Tekton Design - New IRL Technology - Lifelike, Real, Immersive @willrich47 - very intriguing! Is Eric planning to demo this at an upcoming audio show or some such event? | |
| McIntosh MC-252 @samzx12 my answer was as random as the question!! 😄 sorry but I don’t understand what the OP is trying to accomplish by asking something without any context. | |
| What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to? There was a pic of John Lee Hooker in the early 90’s from an interview with Rolling Stones or some popular mag. He was in his living room and the stereo system behind him was a JC Penny branded rack system, that was so prevalent in the 90’s. Cheap... | |
| McIntosh MC-252 Bad idea | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer @schw06 you articulated it best. I “feel” the same with my Mac gear in the few days I’ve had it. It calms my soul :) | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer Thanks @arafiq I had got this rack from a seller on Audiogon about 18 months back. Paid $600. I believe they import it from Vietnam. Nice quality and craftsmanship. I bet it’s gone up in price now. | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer Thanks guys. @randym860 theres almost 4” clearance above the amp. The front of the frame hangs low but there’s plenty of clearance beyond that (see the space above the Oppo). That said, this beast runs cool to the touch. I don’t crank it up t... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer I just got done putting together my dream system. OCD Mike might throw up at this but I'm loving every moment of it!. No regrets. | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer Thanks @ejr1953 I don’t have the option to do that but my home is relatively newish (15 years) so hopefully the existing wiring is adequate for this beast. | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer @jl1ny and @henry53 Im curious now since I just purchased a demo model 452 last week. What benefit does a dedicated line bring? I hadn’t heard of that one before. I am driving Paradigm Persona speakers and the 452 does that effortlessly. It’s cool... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer @jjss49 thanks for sharing that experience. It’s one thing to display an arrogant, know-it-all attitude on a YouTube channel. Let’s face it, these days you have to sometimes scream to be heard (or clicked). It’s a hard life for these social media... | |
| Audiogon is becoming the hub for scammers. Real coincidence this thread popping up since I posted a new thread this morning based on my experience with what I’m certain are scammers on this site, selling McIntosh gear (clearly they are a popular item). Link If I have any concern whats... |
