| Why No McIntosh Recommendations? McIntosh has fine products. The trademark looks and bling is a big part of the appeal. Lots of robust competition for the asking price these days compared to many years ago where much of the competition was Made in Japan. BTW those vintage made in... | |
| Theoretical question about how CD's work Geoffkait actually you are clearly the skeptic here. Don’t be such a sad sack! Why don’t you write a book and enlighten the world further then smart guy? I’m sure there are enough neurotics out there you can appeal to to make it a big seller and h... | |
| New KEF Reference 5 speakers Ls50s will always benefit from a sub. They are small speakers that work best in smaller rooms. Set up well in right size room they are excellent wihin their low end limitations and will reveal any shortcomings upstream. | |

| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong From my experience with several Class D amps, newer Class D amp designs in general seem to have very effectively resolved the noise issues that can otherwise be associated with SMPS. I’ve seen this with my Class D amps ranging in cost from <$10... | |
| anbody ever hear of an outfit called dynagroove records? That Dynagroove read was very interesting. Never investigated why but those records never impressed me. | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong Bel Canto ref1000m manual indicates to leave the amps on and I do except if away for more than a couple days. I also leave my Bel Canto c5i digital integrated amp on all the time similarly. |
