| Connect Cassette Deck to a Computer? Thanks Albertporter and Horseface for your patient and detailed responses, really appreciated. I've established contact with the right cord, which was lying around and came with something. Now I'm trying to figure out what will do the recording on... | |
| Center channel question? Yes, on a McIntosh preamp you can select for center channel speaker size, small, or large THX. | |
| When to use THX Mode? Thanks Drew for this comprehensive and intelligent response, appreciated. | |
| Recommend a good DVD Player for McIntosh HT System I have a black Sharp Acquos 20 inch. I wanted to get a 22 inch or larger so I could get HD, but they stopped making them in black. I like it alot, very clear picture. When I added a Monster HTS 5100, the picture became even sharper, I was suprised... | |
| Recommend a good DVD Player for McIntosh HT System Thanks all -- Budget is flexible, not an issue, for the moment I'm thinking more of size, I'd prefer something on the smaller side that would get the most out of a Sharp Aquos flat screen without sacrificing quality for a smaller size. My equipmen... | |
| Suggestions for next upgrade... Go with a 100W McIntosh for the power amp and you'll get a lot of punch for sure. | |
| Subwoofer Recommendations for Audiophile Monitors I own a REL Q108 sub bass system, small, with unbelievable sound, very happy with it. | |
| If Audio bug never hit you, what hobby might have? It's a great question for those who can be serious. Although I might just be collecting somethign else, like more art, if high end equuipment did not exist, I would no doubt attend more concerts at Lincoln Center, go to all the Mostly Mozart conce... | |
| Who has the oldest speakers? Humidity kills speakers in 20-- 25 years or less. Play them loud and they'll blow. I had a pair of B & O s for 25, simply because I'd neglected replacing them. | |
| Subtlety ? do any American amps do it? You can afford a McIntosh now for the first time in history, with the pound so overinflated, so go for it. | |
| Brian Eno I bought Here Come the Warm Jets recently. Not bad, and perhaps it sounds a little better than the original. I recall the original not being a great recording to begin with, it depended on at which studio the various tracks were recorded. | |
| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? I agree with Chadnliz. Bottom line is that without HT you'll have trouble hearing the dialogue at times, it makes no sense to swear by two channel for moives. On the other hand, there's no need to make it into a Zen event, please just listen with ... | |
| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? It's not necessarily better. HT is needed for movies, otherwise, you may have difficulty hearing the dialogue at times. What's nice about the HT preamps for stereo recordings, is you can add effects like time delay, which make older recordings sou... | |
| Amplifier hum: Does it need repair? I had a similar problem with a McIntosh power amp last winter. I discovered the source causing the amp hum was from a space heater I was using, and it wasn't even on the same line as the amp. See if an appliance could be the culprit. | |
| The best CD Player for the money McIntosh MCD 205, the best you can do without buying the DAC and the transport seperately. Will make a CD sound as good as a record. Also holds 5 CDs. |
