| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode Isn’t ul mode solid State? Doesn’t it make sense that more would be involved for solid State and that it would sound a little bit I think use of the word ultra linear is a marketing term and kind of dumb | |
| System assessment... dsp is very frustrating to work with initially. The interfaces are horrifying to deal with. But if you think about what happens along curve if there are low spots or high spots that may tend to distort the overall signal, correcting these areas co... | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? I bought a blue sound Device and for the price it was very good but on the cheap side. I bought a chord tt2 dac which was pretty good and had a lot of pretty lights on top. I then bought a lumin x1 which is a combined streamer/dac. I thought it ... | |

| System assessment... DSP would be a good idea. At least get a view of what your curve looks like. Modifying things along the curve could be a really good thing. And then I'd buy a puppy | |
| Enough is Enough You have an awesome space that's perfect for relaxation and looks to be a very nice system. I had a similar experience, a girl I dated Felt no romantic attraction to me so I gave up on dating. The same holds true with your dealer experience. Ma... | |
| No Private Messages for Me Are they charging for each private message on your credit card? It’s human nature to make everything increasingly more difficult. I remember when windows was a lot easier to deal with, Excel was easier to deal with before they contaminated it wit... | |
| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid This reminds me of the shows where people buy homes in Alaska, on a beach or in the Bahamas and they look at three homes and then they make a decision. I would like to revisit those couples who relocated to a cabin in the middle of Alaska somewher... | |
| New York City Audio/Hifi Bars and Cafes What a brilliant idea. Open McIntosh themed bar with big amplifiers. I know they have a building dedicated to sound rooms, but a bar would be a lot cooler. | |
| Why does USB feature so much in discussions about DACs when the newer HDMI seems better? I would like to find an HDMI splitter, that I can use to feed audio into my dac and have the simultaneous video be fed into my av processor. I’d like to be able to bypass the dac in my processor and maybe I can get it to sound better. Although, m... | |
| Bose buys McIntosh It’s a business. I own some of their stuff and truthfully I'm indifferent about the whole fanfare. As long as someone out there can answer question if I have a problem otherwise I just don't care. An excuse to buy other amplifiers and maybe I migh... | |
| More potential bad news for some big names... Too many products in a hifi companies lineup. Too many hifi companies. Just go to audio shows they’re all over the place. Prices went up a lot over past couple years, and they were certainly high then too. Dealers are challenged because they ha... | |
| Breaking news! Jays Audio is moving to Texas and takes interest in McIntosh He also offers a really nice subscription service where he offers a lot of additional information. He makes a lot of money it's been very helpful. I don't understand a lot of what he does but he buys a lot of expensive gear and showcases it other... | |
| How do you pick your gear? Tips and insights are welcome. I watch Jay’s audio Channel on YouTube. Is most knowledgeable about high-end gear. The gear is really pretty and very very expensive. Eastern Truth is get to know a dealer really well and speak to other dealers about products and learn learn lear... | |
