| Budget High Current Power Cords I made my own with Furutec connectors and bulk cable. The other items like shrink wrap and cable covering came from Amazon. I was able to make custom lengths between my power conditioner and each unit. It was a fun project. I estimated that each c... | |
| Have you moved away from full range to standmount speakers + subs? Someone mentioned Leo Kottke. I had the pleasure of seeing him play at the Paramount Theatre in Austin probably 20 years ago and he is simply incredible. If you close our eyes you would swear there are 4 people playing guitar on stage. Laura Brann... | |
| What song have you played the most? From Shardad Rohani's Beauty of Love album "Connies Butterfly" It will put your mind at ease. | |
| What do audiophiles do in their cars? I have a 2018 911 and it came with a Bose upgrade but who cares. When you get above 30 you can only hear the engine and wind which is what I like. Porsche offers a $6000 Burmester upgrade but unless you just drive around town it makes no differenc... | |
| To clean or not to clean... When a record hits my door...new, used, borrowed, stollen it gets cleaned and a new set of clothes....! | |
| Matching solid state amps with tube based pre amps I run a McIntosh C2600 tube preamp with McIntosh MC611 SS mono blocks. They work very well together. | |
| My kiseki Blackheart nightmare. My wife wants to know if you tried putting a Penny on top of it? 😀@curiousjimThat reminded me when my wife tells me to just put a nickel on the cartridge, it worked back in her college days...! | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? What can I say, I love my McIntosh system. But I rarely say that I am on this forum because there are so many folks that will flame you. Go ahead I do not care...! | |
| How long is it taking to receive a preamp? I just inquired about ordering a Mc phono preamp and it will be about 4 months from order to delivery. | |
| Is it ever enough? Earlier in the year I thought I would build my own bi-wire speaker cable set from amp to speaker. I had some adequate cable and bought some sheathing to cover them plus a set of gold plated spade lugs. In the end they made no difference at all. I ... | |
| Is it ever enough? I am saving up now for something I probably do not need...!!! | |
| Power conditioner some say yes and some say no. I bought a power conditioner when I go too the point it was a great way to have everything plug into the one unit. I built my own power cords and now it we are going to be gone for any period of time I only unplug the PC. As for improving the soun... | |
| Porsche When I turned 70 my wife finally allowed me to buy my Porsche 911. Just a plain Carrera with the base engine. Of course the base engine in 2018 has 370hp and twin turbos. It is now three years old and I am still in love with it and the wife.....! | |
| Does listening to music increase your IQ? I always feel darn smart when listening and drinking a glass of wine!!! | |
| When are people going to wake up and realize listening is a skill? Getting back to Porsche. I wanted one for many years and finally at age 70 I was "allowed" to buy one and I acquired a brand new 911 in GT Silver. It is now three years old and I still love it.....! |
