| No God No! Say it Ain’t So! This is terrible. If you currently own Macintosh or SF hold on to them. What will come out next definitely be the result of cutting cost where they can. They will sell an inferior product but market the heck out of the brands. I expect 2024 and ol... | |
| Bose buys McIntosh People expressing all the optimism are kiddong themselves. These kind of deals where a large company with an inferior product buys a company(or in this case two companies) that in comparison make something league's above them is never a good thing... | |
| Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say? Don't be D, we have enough narcissistic ego babies in this world. Ask them about their system. Engage with them how they put it together and what was most important to them in sound. Maybe they had financial limitations, or maybe they like detaile... | |
| Do speakers need to be re-broken in? Maybe they got stiff after sitting for so long and like someone said are loosening up a little but I'm not sure that makes sense bcs if that was the case wouldn't that imply the material of drivers are deteriorating? But who knows. However conside... | |
| Sub suggestions please I think you should clarify some of your preferences. I mean there are vast differences in subs. Movie or audio? Classical, rock, various? The speed of your existing woofers to match? Detail or impact? Do you want the sub to compliment your speake... | |

| Vacuum Tube Break-in I’ve rolled a pair of NOS and I didnt noticed a break-in so far on either set. However on some new modern tubes I’ve definitely noticed a break-in. So I guess it’s not placebo for me or else all my tubes would have broke in. I think it’s important... | |
| Is soundstage DEPTH a myth? When I finally bought a nice Dac and streamer for my smaller system for the 1st time I heard the imaging/Soundstage. I thought it was just a myth too as this was my 4th system and my cheapest one. Streamer to Dac to SS integrated to bookshelves. S... | |
| I noticed brightness/harshness more than usual from my system a couple months back. From the way you described it seemed to have happened suddenly and it was obvious enough that you noted a time frame. That makes me believe it's likely your system not your ears as the ears would be more gradual over time. But still a good idea to... | |
| getting into streaming Haha when I got into streaming I figured ok this will be pretty straight forward and easy in comparison to my viny and preamp matching... Couldn’t have been more wrong. Streaming is still in its infancy and although it is really good there’s still... | |

| Mcintosh MC275 alternatives? Not sure if your still in the market but here's my 2 cents. I bought a used c2200 and used 275x vi both for $6800. They are beautiful pieces of equipment. My dealer had a nice demo room and I brought my speakers in and I felt they were an upgrade ... | |
| Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried... I'm buying female to male records at about a 5-1 ratio. Kudos to the female artist for all the great music being put out. My recommendations in order based on your interests. 1: Agnes Obel (album Aventine) Danish singer from Berlin writes and p... |
