| How old is too old? I went thru quite a batch of near keepers before finding my lightly used Sony xa5400es that members here suggested I try. It sounds so good, I am still re-discovering my too many CDs, SACDs, and began buying used CDs (whereas I was only listening... | |
| Question about speaker angle I subsequently created this about Toe-In Alternates https://www.audiogon.com/systems/11516 | |
| Extreme Toe In I don’t use the term extreme, but I do use what DBX developed for home theater front speakers to get imaging across the full width for Video, and I adjust my music system toe in to something similar when it’s two listeners, both off-center. It is ... | |
| XLR to RCA adaptors I suggest you also buy these inexpensive adapters, and see if anything you spend real money on actually is different, and if different, preferred? https://www.amazon.com/COLICOLY-Female-Male-Cable-Adapter/dp/B07YNMNNZC/ref=sr_1_1_pp?crid=23ZR8SBN... | |
| Have some fun with bookshelf monitors!! I'd do the front ported coax Zu Method Bookcase in White, efficient enough to use with tubes some future combo | |
| New vs uses in your current setup 3 Systems, Majority Vintage, all used, much inherited or gifted (except 1 DAC bought new in 2022; 1 dual cassette bought new in 1986) MAIN, newest: 2 pieces 2008 Electrovoice 4 way speakers from 1958, inherited McIntosh mx110z preamp from 1964,... | |
| Have some fun with bookshelf monitors!! you finally get a larger space, and they HAVE TO fit on a bookshelf. No Way, re-think now, you need some decent size speakers, with decent size drivers, I always encourage efficiency so you can try tubes, but INTERESTING, what to look at, This i... | |
| Seeking advice haven’t heard either, I would rather see you restore a compact 3 way with larger woofer and no port, like AR-2ax which also have the advantage of level controls for the mid and tweet to adjust in any space. Dimensions to fit in or on a bookcase or... | |
| Speakers for Mc240 for speakers, we need a better idea of the size and use of the space, (and prior speakers you have liked). i.e. small space, my prior office setup was a small pair of Wharfedale 225 speakers with 6.5" driver and a single self-powered sub, just en... | |
| Speakers for Mc240 Speakers you say, I missed that, I went straight to what preamp. I find 40 wpc not enough for 90 db sensitivity for a main system, so you might get a lot of people recommending Klipsch Horns, Cornwall, ..... however if a secondary, like my offic... | |
| Speakers for Mc240 positive feedback re: vintage McIntosh tube equipment That is why I tried an mx110z tube tuner preamp. After a year I had it overhauled by Audio Classics here in USA. New gold plated RCA jacks my favorite upgrade. a few McIntosh classic tube pre... | |
| Chair I got my mother one of those, she made it until age 101. Like anything else, they come in sizes. Once she agreed to let me buy her one, Lazyboy in Maine sold my mother a chair they had in stock, it was made for tall men, she was a small woman. I ... | |
| Chair If it fits your body, and doesn't give you pain, if you know it is good quality and gives you comfort, think of it as well worth the price, the most important piece of gear you own! Keep cost low: Bed Bath and Beyond is now online only via Overst... | |
| Adding an extra 1ft to premium speaker cables the cables can be expensive, there's no charge for the expectation bias. | |
| A new way of adjusting anti skate! Any deviance from straight is ’oppositely’ reflected in a mirror, this makes it very easy to see and get azimuth straight I use a 4" x 6" x 3mm mirror, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T31MRZ9?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2&th=1 ... |
