| Frustrated McIntosh Owner It's very simple Covid-19 shut most factories down for a month or more: The global supply chain has been disrupted: Mac is assembled in the USA from foreign and domestic parts. So there is most likely a part that they can't get so they won't commi... | |
| Speaker hiss from power amp Nothing to worry about. I am not an engineer but I have owned amps from Adcom, Aragon, Proceed, 2 Mark Levinson 300 series and McIntosh, speakers from Martin-Logan, Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage & B&W 803 d3. Every system combo had low level... | |
| Why do some audiophiles beat up McIntosh? It seems like the haters put to much effort in into hating products for no reason. Audio is totally subjective so it doesn't mater what the haters say or think. It only maters what the owner of the product thinks. It seems that most of haters don'... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) Find a classic used pair of original Sonus Faber's designed by the legendary Franco Serblin. No matter what model you audition, his use of silk dome tweeters always deliver a smooth yet highly detailed sound. | |
| Anyone Know Where I should Look to Figure Out This Hum? The first thing to do is to get a ground tester and use it to check the ground and polarity of all your outlets. If they all test fine, then disconnect the main cable line that feeds the home and observe if the him goes away. This should eliminate... | |
| Sub $1k Power Conditioners? Any Assistance Appreciated... Purchasing new: Furman Power Elite series with power factor technology. Used: the Reference series 15 would be an excellent choice. I own a big Mac and I notice no compression with the Ref 15: The Ref series has an isolation transformer for 2 out... | |
| My Demo results: I feel like I'm at a frustrating block in my speaker journey Since you seem to gravitate toward the ML 35’s but they were volume challenged and lacking bass. The solution is simple buy a sub. M-L Dynamo 800x is great option, designed by the same team as the speakers. The built in Anthem Room Correction can ... | |
| What 4 subwoofers to buy? 1 or 2 high quality subs would be better than 4 cheap subs because you would have to deal with inferior crossovers, high distortion amps, and poor cabinet design. This sums up to very poor & inarticulate bass, the exact opposite of what you wa... | |
| More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music Start with 1 sub: 2 would be better: REL, Martin-Logan or JL would be great options. Doing a more powerful amp may lead to frustration. The subs will give you more flexibility and adjustments to compensate for room variations. | |
| iPad directly into Amp - okay idea? or bad idea? Your best bet for sound quality is to purchase a network streamer that has a preamp built into it that way you can stream over your network. Using the headphone out from a portable device like an iPad will give poor sound quality because of the su... | |
| Choosing between floorstanding speakers. If you are planning to keep your cm series center and rears, the Cm 10 is your best option. Since all the speakers will have the same tweeter and crossover design, they will blend perfectly for the best music and home theater experience. Anything ... | |
| Why the woofer moves badly when playing certain LPs I would check external things like what the table is sitting on and how far it is away from the speakers and don’t forget the floor. Tonearms just don’t play the record. They can pickup the room environment. The floor can be a big culprit sending... | |
| Disappointing On Mcintosh......help Who really cares and does it matter whether you like McIntosh or not? Sound is subjective and the variables are many here. For whatever reason, you prefer Parasound. John Curl is one of the most legendary designers in the history of audio so whate... | |
| Proceed AVP just stopped working-fuse is fine-PLEASE HELP! Hello: I can Help you: There are 2 fuses. You cannot see the 2nd fuse because its hidden under 1 of the boards: If there is no power at all, it is most likely that fuse. I had the same 1 blow a few years ago. The bad news is that you have to remov... |
