| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? Those of you who play mono records cut back in the hey day when that was the only format but today reissue producers don’t want to try and sell records that customers have to jump through hoops to play them back properly. Mono reissues are at a ma... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? The only mono's I have are reissues which are all lacquered with modern stereo heads these days. I simply use my stereo micro line cartridge and throw the mono switch on my phono preamp and I'm golden. No muss no fuss! | |
| What do you do when the music’s not speaking to you? Put it back on the shelf and pull it out again a week, months or even years later and you'll definitely have a different opinion of it. | |
| Has McIntosh Ever Decreased Prices (on new equipment)? @5farms You should check out Audio Classics in Vestal NY. They are always doing trade up programs and will be quite accommodating if its in their interest to do so. Plus, they have an awesome facility with close ties to McIntosh itself (I'm sure t... | |

There are countless available sources online that are more accurate without the lore and conjecture if people want to seek it out. All you need is a keywo... | |

| Cable Quest 8 AWG! https://kimber.com/products/12TC "SC: the best sounding I found one is KimberKable 12TC, which is about 5AWG" | |
| Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ? I don't think there is reason to PM anybody (unless the two of you are engaging in a private liaison). If you've got something to say, do it in public and don't be a coward. | |

| Should I buy another flat screen now while they are still relatively cheap? I highly recommend getting a Sony along with the related accessories. I finally learned my lesson after 30+ years of owning Samsung products that after 5 years or so you'll be watching something and the TV will go click, the screen will go dark an... | |
| Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ? @deep_333 Remember, they can always do that to you! Lose, lose in my opinion. "If member opinions don’t carry any weight, there is always a quick account delete button." | |
| Speakers for leading edge, transients, speed and big sound @ditusa Lovely! Thank you so much! "This profile opened with the assessment that Ed May was one of the most accomplished acoustic engineers of the past half century. This may seem to be overstating the case since the body of his published work is... |
