| Two defective pieces in a row - unreasonable to demand refund? Regardless of what the Mac haters are trying to shove down your throat, McIntosh is still a reputable company. McIntosh wouldn't still be recognized as one of the foremost purveyors of high end audio eqiupment if they had suddenly and mysterious... | |
| Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference? You can spend $45K on a piece of test equipment, and people are still going to believe what they believe. This topic is a dead horse. You can beat it all you want, but at the end of the day it will still be dead and you will still be in the same p... | |
| how can low watt tube amps drive speakers with higher power requirements I agree 100% with millercarbon. An audio system is something that takes energy and turns it into something useful. Think of it like an internal combustion engine, which is basically an air pump. The more air it can take in, the more air it can put... | |
| Interconnects—Just a thought. Jay Leno is an autophile. He once talked about Ferrari, and how they recommended that you use only their Ferrari branded oil at $80 a quart. He said that he knew damn well that Ferrari didn't make oil, so that means it comes from someone else, and... | |
| Amplifier knobs...where to "set" on the clock? Back in the day when the M70 was produced, speakers and equipment were both produced with specs that were questionable at best, and made setting up a system that played well together hit or miss. Being brand specific was the safest bet, and even t... | |
| VINYL SUCKS! Really, people. It's not the format you use to listen, but that you take the time and spend the money to listen. Without that, there would be no reason for musicians to do their thing. | |
| Amplifier knobs...where to "set" on the clock? Speaker Level Controls:In addition to speaker A/B selectors that permit one-touch selection of two sets of stereo speakers, the M-70 features independent level controls for the left and right speakers in two stereo pairs. That is, you have inde... | |
| A Hidden "Feature" of the Cornwall IV Love my Cornwall 3's. I feel sorry for the haters. They really don't know what they are missing. | |
| Technics moving all turntable production to Malaysia I have a SL1500C that was made in Malaysia and it's an excellent, obviously well built TT. I don't see a problem. A lot of well known electronic equipment has been built for quite a few years in that country. | |
| Technics 1200G phono recommendations I second jasonbourne52. Schiit Mani and throw in an Ortofon 2M Bronze. Sounds great on my 1500C. | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh I'm a big fan of Vincent Audio, not only because they have some really good sounding gear, but also because they buck the "no tone controls" trend on almost all their integrated amps and pre amps. Their hybrid SV-237MK, which I own, even has a "lo... | |

| NOS Tubes - Ecstasy or Agony I have purchased several singles and matched pairs of NOS from Upscale Audio. All have been just as advertised and no DOA's. I personally don't believe there are many, if any suppliers who do the kind of comprehensive testing that Upscale does on ... | |
| Looking for a ‘’No braine’r Integrated amplifier under 7500 or so Give the Vincent Audio SV-737 a look. They make some very respectable sounding gear.https://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=VISV737 | |
| The guru on fuses: This is one of those instances where you take a deep breath, take a step back, and remember why you listen to music. If all you are interested in is the technical aspect of sound reproduction, then you might as well be listening to recordings of p... |
