| Considering McIntosh MA352 I have a mac 352, as well as Pass 250, Hegel 390, and Accuphase 380. The Mac is just as enjoyable as the other 3. Good bass, detail and soundstage. Change out the tubes to the new Horizon Pavane tubes and it’s shockingly better in all areas. The t... | |
| Mcintosh MAC7200 or Hegel H390 for a new pair of Kef R7 META I had the same dilemma, wanted a mac, because it’s a Mac. Love the sound of the Hegal 390, so I bought both. Problem solved. The Hegal is a really great sounding amp. | |
| Why are so many people spending so much money to build “perfect” streaming system? For me, I like the convenience of local streaming. I have all my 3000 cd’s at my fingertips. Before would have cds strewn all over the place. It took the Aurender n200 for me to notice a difference between it and streaming from my Mac air. I had p... | |
| The (never ending) Quest For “More” I just think at some point you have to say, this is good enough? For me, I have 4 intergrated I rotate. This way I never bore of the same presentation. | |
| Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system? I remember back in my younger years purchasing the kimber kgc, pure silver Interconnects. Out of the box best cable I ever heard. Then after breakin they went bright on me. Stayed away from silver ever since. I find a good hybrid seems to be the t... | |
| Eversolo DMP 8 audition going poorly... I had purchased all 3 eversolos. A6, A6 master with linear power supply and finally A8. Lots of nice features for the money but I was more interested in sound. The A8,was the best sound of the 3. However none of them sounded good in my system. I ... | |

| Upgrade Denafrips Terminator 2 I have owned the terminator 2 anniversary and I had the Pontus, as well. I,prefered the sound of the Pontus. Sold the terminator. Then I purchased the May Kte and it’s in my system it was my preferred sound. I still have it with no plans to change... | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread I purchased the Horizon psvane 12ax7a and 12at7. I purchased them from Amazon. Sine the tubes just arrived today 7/14/24 I can’t vouch for longevity yet. I will say this, no matter how long they last, they will be replaced with same. These tubes ... | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread I just purchased the Horizon preamp tubes in my Mac 352 hybrid. I must say these tubes are everything the rep said. I had gold lions in before which I preferred over the stock jj’s. Much smoother and musical with no missing extensions. I am very h... | |
| Can a DAC do triple duty? The Schitt Yaggy does | |
| Shouldn’t Do This, but… use insulated needle nose pliers and screwdriver. That's what I do if I work with something hot. | |
| Accuphase Amp Burn In I have an Accuphase as well as 3 other amps. I must say with the exception of my Pass, I have never experienced much change in so called burn in time. My Accuphase also sounded great out of the box, but can’t say the sound has changed. Enjoy your ... | |
| A Better Way to Buy Gear - Help Needed From what you described, l also would not take that risk. I have purchased items up to 5K with friends and family. I’ve been at this game awhile. I have been fortunate up to this point. I always have a personal conversation with my seller. Rating ... | |
| Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System? For the most part most music sounds good on my system depending what amp and speaker combo I’m using. My B&W sub is fully adjustable from an app. I also have a schitt Loki max eq that has a remote. I can adjust the whole system on the fly whic... |
