| What Is Most Important? Since I’m a McIntosh fan, it’s all about “For the love of music” and how it sounds. Soundstage, details, pleasing to my ears! | |
| What say you binding posts or direct wire? For many many years I just rant bare wire connections from my amp to speakers. I just switched to a very neat array of banana plugs. When I installed the banana plugs I noticed the tarnish, grime whatever on the ends if the wires and what a mess i... | |
| How long should speaker cables be? +1 on everyone who said long enough to reach the speakers! | |

| Has this happened to you? How can it be stopped? I’m with you 100% brother. During Covid I assembled two McIntosh vintage tube stereo systems, which I still have and enjoy, just not enough room. I also bought a pioneer integrated amp and an adcom pre…why I don’t know. The pioneer was my modifica... | |

| how much should I spend to get a better turntable than my current turntable? +1 @rsf507 Mofi makes great sounding cartridges and I suspect their turntable would just be a great sounding table. Quality and sound. | |

They are large yet intimate. Huge outboard crossovers, and my addition of super tweeters make th... | |
| Do Recording Studios Use Silver Cables I’m still stuck on the idea of “silver cables”. I don’t think silver cables are the “best” that would be too much! A lot of high end cable use silver as ell as copper and gold as a blend to tame the silver, ie nordost, siltech, and analysis plus ... | |
| Is there a strategy in preamp tube placement? +1 @mulveling couldn’t have said it better myself. Great info! | |
| Is it me or new audio gear is too perfect and give ear fatigue? If you compare new equipment, especially tubed gear, the new gear has a less tube sound or warmth as it has in older vintage gear. This has been a trend that I’ve noticed. I have several systems and love the smooth warmth of vintage gear. Even vin... |
