McIntosh fuse changeout to make better sound
@nonoise PRECISELY! 
Getting paid
When you setup your seller profile you will see your payment options. If the seller made you an offer through Audiogon and you accept the offer (within the valid window) then the rest goes through Audiogon. If the buyer sent you an offer you misse...

Something to consider is the analog side. If analog is in the discussion AT ALL the above scenario gets tossed real quick. You’ll need to decide on what you will “listen” to, analog or digital, or both. If both, add at least 5-10k to the above. An...

Christmas present... Black Crows/Jimmy Page, really good album! 
Your shipping wrecks. USPS,FED-EX and UPS
Don’t even get me started with Fed Ex right now... Had a package from USPS “on truck for delivery” a few days ago, now somewhere in WI (I’m in CO) with no tracking info of any sort for a delivery time.  
McIntosh fuse changeout to make better sound
I’m auditioning a couple of fuses, more out of curiosity. So far, I won’t say all of a sudden my system is night and day different , but there is a noticeable air that didn’t seem to be there before. Low end is a bit more solid etc. I’m a fan.

The big Hegels are excellent, and good all in one system. The H-390 at around 5-6k is hard to beat anywhere in that price realm. The Gryphon would be great, but most of your budget will get chewed up on that unit alone. Simaudio is worth a look to... 
is Hi-Res all that?
I’m not sure the issue really is resolution. I think it is more about mastering and how that applies/applied to the medium the music was released on. Modern streamed music (even hi-res) really isn’t intended IMO for very serious listening. It is i... 
I was not enjoying the performance until I ......
Given most speaker cables “character” really is a matter of “tone control” as are most things we tweak in this game, a separate tone/eq is a worthwhile discussion. However, I also agree the first and foremost thing to do is get the overall symmetr...
