| dCS Bartok Apex vs McIntosh DA2 - Trouble Hearing the Difference @ripordaff I love your room. Do you allow people to bring red wine into this room? I like amplifiers from McIntosh but don’t like any of their processors. They don’t like selling tube line stages without phono stage for some reason. They cram s... | |

The massive doors are impressive. Choice of wood paneling also very impressive. As w... | |
| McIntosh Tube Amp will not come on. I would call up McIntosh, parts department, and plead for a set of new smaller tubes. See if they can send it out to you without asking you to follow through on all the warranty BS you gotta go through. Had a problem with small tubes and one was... | |
| McIntosh Sonus Faber love affair, alternatives? @bgross Love your listening space and that cabinet in the middle is awesome. Also, the voodoo lounge poster is incredible, and an incredible framing effort as well. Interesting comments about component mating practices and what you have learned.... | |

This forum feature is probably the best in the world for showcasing peoples individual systems. It's absolutely remarkable. I can only imagine all those amazing systems that are not p... | |
| I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do? @thecarpathian How do you know what I plan to buy. I sincerely have an interest in buying overpriced speakers because they may sound better than what I have and my tube amplifiers may not be allowed to truly shine with my current speakers.

| I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do? @unreceivedogma Personally, I think all the hype and excess funds held by older souls, and highly technically expert people who frequent this forum, as well as all the audio dealers on this forum, are what drives this market even higher. The poi... | |
| I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do? So many great comments. I guess the overriding concern that I have is that I think everyone knows speakers can be very overpriced and that’s really absurd. Manufacturers create subpar speakers at lower price levels and tempt you to buy higher pr... | |

| Audio Cables: All the Same? It's a lot like buying puppies, initially when you buy puppies from different breeds they act alike and after they are broken in a little they begin to take on different personalities. This is very true for cables. | |
| You're not a true audiophile unless... People say dinosaurs were the original audiophiles, this isn't true. Caveman were the original audiophiles. It was due to their efforts that created interest in hearing that ushered in use of musical instruments to further sensitize that area wit... | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response @grislybutter It’s like gain and volume being used interchangeably. Transient is that initial sound kind of peaky that somehow can be very awakening and very exciting. A lot has to do with Recording quality and amplifier. I always view it as Ro... |
