| First Trip outside of Best Buy, a real newbie. "I want to connect my TV through the DAC, MC275 out to the Spendors for everyday use. Does this amp C275 stable enough and robust enough to be used like this?"Maybe. How much TV are you going to watch? I might give McIntosh a call and describe you... | |
| Best tube amp $2000-2500? Both M60's and MC275 are good recommendations. I would throw in the Manley Mahi Mahi's for a fun punchy sound and good bang for the buck. They have an Ultralinear and Triode switch and adjustable feedback. Lots O Fun. The power switch in the back ... | |
| Bruce at The Super Bowl.... I think the reason why Bruce is so polarizing is due to his politics. No one begrudges Mick Jagger for being a "Rock Star" because he doesn't try to be anything else. He is what he is.There is nothing worse than a conservative politician shoving f... | |
| Bruce at The Super Bowl.... I thought is was OK. It served it's purpose and didn't completely suck.I saw Bruce when I was 17 on the darkness tour and to this day it was one of the best concerts I have ever seen.But...Bruce lost me with "Born in the USA." I can't stand the wa... | |
| First Trip outside of Best Buy, a real newbie. A couple of suggestions are:1. Slow down and take your time. If you hear of or actually hear a pair of speakers that peak your interest research those speakers using the search engines on the Audiogon and Audio Assylum websites. There are plenty o... | |
| Audiophiles get NO respect Have you seen some of the listening rooms on this site? Some of these aren't far removed from the "gimp basement' in Pulp Fiction. I love it when you see a $20,000 amp in a $400 a month 10x10 apartment with no furniture. | |
| Good budget alternative IC's with Shindo preamp I haven't heard this combination specifically but I think Clear Day Cables Solid Core silver speaker cables would work well with Shindo. I have owned and listened to at length Shindo, Auditorium 23 and base my opinion on that experience. I also re... | |
| Surprising Backing Bands Linda Rondstat was backed by four original members of the Eagles.When talking all time great back up bands, you have to include Booker T and the MG's at Stax and the Funk Brothers at Motown. | |
| Vintage Altec Speakers on Legs Look for the model number on the back of the driver. The cabinet is not that relevant. | |
| Greatful Dawg; Jerry Garcia & Dave Grisman Old and In the Way is a classic. Jerry on Banjo, Peter Rowan playing guitar, David Grisman- mandolin, John Kann- bass and Vassar Clements on the fiddle. Vassar steals the show on this one.All good suggestions above. I'll throw in another Stephan G... | |
| the dead on tour again. ---two questions: The difference between bands like the Allman Brothers (the last 8 or so years), Ratdog, Phil and Friends, and the likes of the Rolling Stones and The Who is that the former are jam bands where there is allot of improvisation and different song set... | |
| sleeper tube integrateds suggestion wanted You may want to research Consonance. | |
| Just got an ipod, now what? OK, now that you got the ipod running... your next step is to buy a tube usb dac, hook it up to your computer and preamp and never touch your cds again. Welcome to the 21st century. | |
| budget lcd or plasma: 720p good enough? Again, depends on size and use. If you are not going to watch HD channels then you are definitely ok. |
