| Devore / Bay Area @m-db Great suggestions! You buying? 😁 | |
| Devore / Bay Area @larsman - I really tried to buy from him. As I said I like to shop locally and I do. I’m glad it worked out for you. | |
| Devore / Bay Area @eric5kim - ahh, sorry about that, you were right on target though, that’s exactly how Tone of Music treats people. You can barely even walk in the door before he says something just like that. He also said he’d charge me $100 an hour for his expe... | |
| McIntosh LB200? Seems like a lot of cash for an empty box, even if it does have those cool green McIntosh lights and name. Maybe if they had included some of those big green meters too......but I get it, if you have everything Mc and wanted your DAC or phono-pre ... | |
| 4 speakers in a large room If it's mainly for ambient music, you could get an old AVR (you can find them cheap nowadays and some very good brands), then play around with the different surround sound modes. I did that in my workshop. Sounds fine for background music. You don... | |
| hearing loss and amp choices @stereo5 Agree 100% with you. I have a Luxman with loudness, balance and tone controls (all defeatable). I have a smaller loss in my right ear, and it helps. A friend has a McIntosh and he is quite happy also. | |
| Devore / Bay Area Well , it appears @eric5kim is the owner of Tone of Music and his response shows why I didn’t buy. I have tried twice to buy equipment from him and both times he was rude and opinionated to the point of insulting. I have spent well over $20,000 in... | |
| Devore / Bay Area Tone of Music in SF sells them. I have no connection and have never brought anything from him, and wouldn't, just FYI. | |
| Speakers known for great midrange. Harbeth is a good match with PASS, but it will be a bit "laid-back", not in a bad way, it will work very well with acoustic, vocal, jazz, classical, however if you're into AC/DC or Metal music types, it will not be a good match. My opinion as I ow... | |
| Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark They may sound and look the same as the Built in Denmark, but you'll always have that little doubt in the back of your mind. Although I would want what I paid for, here is one idea: bring them to the dealer and listen to his and yours side by side... | |
| Old guy needs recommendation request for old CD players / DAC I tend to agree with @russ69 , but if you do go for one you listed, the JVC is a better bet, at least JVC is still in business. And yes, as @carlsbad says, make sure you can use your outboard DAC in any case. | |
| How many speakers and AMPS do you own, and why? I used to keep stuff, and I do miss a few items, my First system for instance, a Marantz 2020, Pioneer turntable with a Shure cartridge, and Advent speakers, but more for nostalgia reasons then anything. So I found it was much more useful to sell ... | |
| Super fun and silly video That was fun. Really enjoyed Batman, Lurch and was that a Man from Uncle thrown in there? Thanks! | |
| Top 10 vintage cassette decks 100% on any Nachamichi. When they and cassettes were at their height, they blew everything away. I sold most of the major brands back in the 80-90's and Nachamichi's always sounded best. But it is really important to have any deck checked or purch... | |
