| Tune.Remote Iphone app - great for iPod Docks Sounds like a very nice app. A device I recently came across with palm in your hand convenience, is the the Xantech BT6 bluetooth wireless dock. My ipod touch transmits to the dock which is wired into my integrated amp. Sounds pretty darn good and... | |
| Most significant upgrade Not so much a upgrade in my case, but a real thrill, the Daber Monitor 3 speakers, really nice. The Xantech BT6 bluetooth wireless dock. My ipod touch now has become my wireless music server. It sounds amazingly good and does not cost a semester o... | |
| When less is more...10 reasons to own Thorens My Thorens table arm returns after playing the record. We can put a man on the moon, we can have a decent sounding turntable that stops at the end of the album. | |
| Is McIntosh a stepping stone into HI/FI? I think Mac gear is there indeed. It may not be the top pick of all, but that makes it a horse race. Value wise, compared to other top flight brands, it even fairs well in the bang for the buck department. It sounds great, is well constructed and ... | |
| Why Not Return the Favor? Not the case with me, I often comment on most if not all. I enjoy looking in others folks systems and leaving comments on the ones that speak to my heart. I love this stuff. | |
| RIP Gil Scott-Heron One of the great and all too rare music artist that really had a message in the music. Thankfully America, although not perfect, is a better place, in part to artist like GSH. | |
| Mt First McIntosh Congrats on your Mc getting your Mc gear. Finally after many decades of desire i took the plunge and purchased my first Mc gear, a MA6600. I am so very glad I did. Only wish I had done it sooner. | |
| Plinius Int 9200 or McIntosh 6600 for Dynaudio C1 So which amp did you go with? Have not heard the 9200, have heard a Plinius amp, quite nice. Certain you can't go too far astray with either, but I would choose the Mac and in fact did. | |
| Piece of Audio gear you regret selling An old tube radio tuner, it was mono, and I wanted stereo, which prompted the sale. It sounded glorious. | |
| Carver equipement good?? In a second system I am still using the Carver 15b amp. Nice features, clean sound. Also used the "Cube" amp to great effect. I really enjoyed the Carver products. Better than the run of the mill, gear from the far east IMO. | |
| Best integrated amp tube or hybrid up to $7000? McIntosh 2275 tube integrated may fit your needs. Happy hunting. Post your results. | |
| Your best ''outstanding'' products in last 5 yrs? Hands down the McIntosh MA6600 integrated amp. Well featured and superbly built and sings. Added with the new guy on the block, the Daber Monitor 3 speakers. Lots of fun and proud to own these made in the USA american roses. | |
| Help fellow AV designers As far as the sub goes, James loudspeakers makes a in floor unit. | |
| So what is the best speaker you have ever owned? Von Schweikert Audio VR-4Jrs. Very musical, good with tubes or solid state. Wide sweet spot. Highs sparkle and lows are solid. Worth more than speakers that cost less, and sounds better than speakers that cost more. In my experience. But to each h... | |
| Time to Own Up Over the last few years way more on the gear. Spend more on music when I had a very meager system. Now I enjoy the old and the new music all the more. |
