| Switching preamps in and out Elizabeth got it right. I find it difficult to switch from albums to CD's (and vice versa) in one listening session. The first source always sounds better than the second one. | |
| Are rig hours reversable? Good question Warren.With most of my (major) components being tube gear I have to shut it off while not in use. This is a dilemma because if I go 1-2 weeks without listening, it sounds like crap for at least several hours of warm up and playing. S... | |
| Using a MC Cartridge With A McIntosh Preamp? Your 2.5 MV cartridge is considered a high output MC and is designed to work in your MM phono stage. So yes, it should be fine. | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? German,Yes that is the aluminum plinth base. As Dave mentions, there is no way you can damage the actual woofer or its surround. The worse that can happen is one of the spikes gets in between the grates, but I don't believe it will go as far as re... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? German,Go on the Zu website and click on the Def 4 "Gallery". Scroll through and you will see images of the bottom. | |
| shipping boxes for heavy electronics "When using a pallet, ask the shipper (or do it yourself) to attach cardboard pyramids to the top of the box(es). this is a very common technique (trick) used to prevent carriers from stacking other stuff on top of your shipment ;~)"Sounds like so... | |
| Lay away purchase Charo, lol thanks for the free legal advice. I'll keep you posted. | |
| shipping boxes for heavy electronics Rethinking my last post, that packing method will address the box with an 80 pound weight limit but you are better off strapping it to a pallet and using freight instead of ground. Your amp will survive ground unless it gets in the wrong hands and... | |
| shipping boxes for heavy electronics Elizabeth nailed it to the T. I have a lot of packing experience and will say that if you follow her advice you should be fine. The only thing I would add id to put the same dense foam in BOTH boxes. Buying a Parasound box works too but I find th... | |
| It's all over now, baby blue. Or is it not? Wait it out and see how it goes. My first never looked at my stereo once. My second made a bee line right for it as soon as he started walking. So I just went downstairs and turned off the stereo breaker and my rig sat there for 15 years or so wit... | |
| Lay away purchase Roscoeiii,"However, if you have another offer at around the same price from someone who could pay now, then I'd do that"That's exactly the case. Nothing but a couple of low ball offers. This was the 2nd time I listed it and it was just about a ful... | |
| Took my Levinson amp in for repair I know, I know Al. Believe me I heard about this many times over. It's a long story so I won't go into it. One thing is for sure, this will never happen again! | |
| Took my Levinson amp in for repair I have an example of "proof" of negligence for you.My computer just stopped working. Brought it to the service center where I bought it new (major computer company). They tried to bring it back, but couldn't and said I needed a new hard drive. So ... | |
| Took my Levinson amp in for repair Polk,"Won't they even try to help repair the damages? It just doesn't seem right that you should be stuck with nothing."With all due respect, like I mentioned earlier, we have not heard from the other party. Who knows how this unfolded before and ... | |
| Best Aesthetic Vintage Black Receiver or Tuner Kinda surprise McIntosh hasn't been mentioned here. My MR88 not only looks good, but is a great performer too. |
