| 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 ... | |

| 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.....! | |

| Considering an integrated jutish you are brave for mentioning McIntosh. I agree the MA5300 is a great amp and I had one. Most folks around here do not care for Mc but I do and own a great setup with separates. | |
| Ignored Offers Over a year ago I made a very reasonable offer on a Mc amp and never got a response. The amp is still for sale. I would be nice to at least get a "no thanks" or a counteroffer. | |
