| Whats on your turntable tonight? I can’t get enough of Nick Cave’s “Idiot Prayer: Live At Alexandra Palace.” Just Nick singing a double album’s worth of some of his favorite songs with just a grand piano. What do some musicians do during the height of Covid? They rent the Alexand... | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? phdWe shouldn’t take a post comparing a Parasound ampl to any McIntosh amp too seriously. I know my hearing is 99% perfect. The only reason I had my hearing checked is because I have chronic tinnitus. Tinnitus does not affect your hearing. My poin... | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? sricha20530Okay, that makes total sense. My listening room is 500 square feet in size. I like as much bass as the musician or band intended. I think our B & Ws do a decent job reproducing almost anything that we put through them. I li... | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? sricha20530I have the same B & W 805 D3 speakers powered by a Bryston amp/preamp setup. My Bryston gear would be in the same price range as your McIntosh components. I’m just curious if you feel the the subwoofer was necessary? I auditioned tw... | |
| Frequency response while streaming stops at 15kHz- did I miss something in the fine print? All you need to know about quality streaming. Courtesy of Bryston. Beware; Have a fat wallet if you want the best in the industry. Between approximately $4000 and $12,000 to stream and play your high resolution music at its best. https://bryston.c... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I have to say that ‘Moanin’ by Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers is my favorite jazz song of all time. The whole album is a fantastic piece of art. The album is over sixty years old, but sounds better as a high resolution 24 bit/192 KHz download ... | |
| Why are there no tube televisions anymore? I still have my parent’s 1970s era console television in my art studio. Looking at it brings back great memories of watching Saturday morning cartoons, and shows like Mash, Kojak, The Million Dollar Man, and Baretta with my parents. Outside of my ... | |
| Bought a new McIntosh amp Hi Switchman! I read your post. It makes no sense to own a McIntosh amplifier if you have Paradigm speakers. The Rotel amps are exceptional for the money. Especially the new Rotel amps with decent DAC's, and balanced connectors. If I were you, I ... | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? Why are so many posts about how much product McIntosh sells annually? Sales volume does not equal quality. If sales equaled quality, we would all own Beats headphones. Beats sells the most headphones, but a $20 set of ear buds outperform any Beats... | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? —Ninety Minutes with McIntosh and Other Components—McIntosh has an aura around the brand that screams, “look everybody, I’m a rich and arrogant asshole!” I liken McIntosh buyers to people who buy $300,000 Lamborghinis when they live in New Jersey ... | |
| Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" drove me insane almost This is a true story. Imagine that I just forked out over $40,000, some twenty five years ago for the stereo gear that I’d be saving up for over five years. Being in my young twenties, I wasn’t that familiar with jazz yet. I heard and read so many... |
