| Did you ever buy too much bass? I have several amps but one blows away anything I've ever owned or auditioned. The Mcintosh Ma6550 is unbelievable in its bass... you don't need a subwoofer with this amp at all. I have the bass turned down almost all the way when I listen to musi... | |

It totally blows my mind and makes me wonder if we audiophiles are interested in the same thing in their music...She and Norah Jones pick the right songs, pronounce the words to the song prec... | |
| The difference between an Audiophile and a Stereophile? I think they are the same.... an audiophile and stereophile will buy the best sounding and best looking stereo equipment they can afford (depending on the amount they feel comfortable spending).

| Candidates for best speakers in the $2000-5000 market B&W CM floor standing speakers sound really good to me. My first pair was CM4s, then CM6s and finally CM7s. The CM6s should not disappoint you and sounded the best to me. I don't see CM6s come up for sale very often and I hope it is because pe... | |
| Vinyl record cleaning I bought one of those inexpensive cleaning devices that you turn the record by hand.... 10 turns forward and 10 backwards.... Using Dawn detergent. Dry with microfiber cloth and it works I think as well as a machine that costs thousands. I'm sorry... | |
