So how does this apply to speaker cables?
Those must be the Nautilus from the wrong side of the reef. :-)Mark 
Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh?
Wow I would like to consider myself an audio enthusiast. I have a Mcintosh 5100, and a Mcintosh MC275V.In regards to the 275V I have only heard a few amps that I liked better. Both of the amps were about twice the price of the MC275V.Interesting t... 
The Hub: Is a Vinyl Revival in progress?
Vinyl is like a memory, when you hold it in your hands, it's like an old book, or an old picture that evokes thoughts and feelings. You can't get that from an Ipod. I usually try to remember what I even put on the thing.I like going to Waterloo an...

Review: Purist Audio Design 20th Anniversary Aqueous Speaker cable
after trying the Nordost approach, having SPM speaker cables and the Tyr interconnect, I also flirted with Magnan, Transparent, Audience au24e, homemade wires, don't ask :-) and maybe a couple others.What I get a kick out of what I liked about the...

I found the website and they do have a lift that you mention and they have specs. I will check with my dealer. You might just have saved a Skala from meeting an untimely end. Thanks for the response !!Mark 
Review: Stealth Cables Metacarbon Interconnect
I would be coming from a Nordost Tyr interconnect and SPM speaker cable, on an all Mcintosh 275/c220 with EAR 834p "deluxe" Linn LP12 w/Ittok/Dorian, I was curious as to what changes on average people notice when going to the Stealth meta-carbon.t... 
McIntosh MCD-205 Changer?

Your vinyl guilty pleasure???
Foreigner, and occasionally Survivor, and Giuffria I feel healed. 
Who does not like the Lyra Dorian?
I have the Lyra Dorian with an EAR 834p "deluxe" and a C220/MC275V. The first time I played it really opened my eyes. The only cartridge I had before that was a Grado Sonata, so I have limited experience. I thought it was a little bit tipped towar... 
Koetsu Restoration
My oops, this is me on very little sleep. I didn't know if 64db of gain was enough. So I could get the cartridge and it would work, as you say but might be tad bright. Would the Grado Ph-1 mess up the sound of the Koetsu, or just let it be? Or are... 
Koetsu Restoration
20 years? Do these cartridges really last that long? I was thinking about buying a Black and even if it last's half that long that would be awesome..My pre-amp is a Mcintosh C220 and it has about 64 db of gain, would this be enough for the Black? ... 
Nordost Heimdall warm???
For me it was the Frey. especially the speaker cable. It finally felt like nothing was being taken away. I would've stayed at that point but I got a great deal on the SPM speaker cable and Tyr interconnect. The Tyr was wild, it added this 1/4 of b... 
Report from Rocky Mountain AudioFest
Walked in not knowing prices of anything, the MBL suite to me was awesome. Really liked the Mcintosh room they had those MC501's hitting 500 watts quite easily, Stevie Ray Vaughn was very much alive in that room.I had never heard quad's before, th... 
McIntosh MCD-205 Changer?
So far have listened to the Ayre cx7e, cx5e, and the Rega Saturn, a CEC but not the 1500.00 one. I still like the mcd 205. Im still curious about the new Cambridge Audio Azur 840c given the reviews. The Esoteric comes to mind, and possibly an Accu...
