| Biwiring connections through Mcintosh Mc7100 So your trying to connect 2 sets of speaker cables to 1 set of 5 way binding posts on the back of your amp? This comes down to having the right terminations on your speaker cables IE...Bare wire, Banana plugs, spade lugs. If one set was bare wire ... | |
| Powercord cinvert Awesome news, I too use Morrow IC’s with McIntosh Amp MC352, And yes your not fooling yourself when you say it does make a big difference indeed. Try Morrows interconnects as well MA3’s or MA4’s. I however am using "the magic" power cable from Sig... | |

| Oppo 103D streaming issues I would check and see if your on WI FI or ethernet....Cat 6? dosent seem right though. | |
| Oppo 103D streaming issues Is the Oppo connected to your router with a cable (cat 5)? Or are you using WI-FI access? The Oppo likes it when you connect with a CAT 5 for best performance. | |
| Does your system hate you when you ignore her? Aside from having to literally dust the cobwebs off my system and warm it up (10 tubes total) for about a hour at least, everything sounds awesome as it should :-)I live in Texas and I dont want to turn it on much during the really hot months.

| Need a new BD player, region free Keep your Oppo my friend, Sadly Oppo no longer makes physical disc players anymore, everything has gone streaming. Even if you conform to the latest technology for video playback (whatever that may be), if you own a large selection of physical med... | |
| Best $250 max phono Cart I would Highly recommend the Ortofon 2M Blue $236 on Needle Doctor. With this MM cartridge it will sound great on a Rega arm and no step up transformer needed, just feed it right into your amps phono input. The Denon 103 is not a good match for th... | |
| Phono cartridge suggestions sought Hey Drama, You have some of my favorite speakers, the Totems are super revealing as long as things up stream are very good as well. Having said that I would highly consider a Dynavector 20X2, I know its expensive but rather than fiddle around with... | |
| Top vintage receivers vs. modern high-end equipment (very high-end but 40 years ago)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Not even close, if you want to buy a vintage receiver (most people dont even know what that is) Pioneer and Marantz made mid-fi equipment at best. If you want to go vintage Hi-Fi you have to look at t... | |
| JBL 4319 Monitor, looking for SS Integrated Amplifier If you want to have instruments in your listening room instead of boxes playing really nice music.....look at picking up a AYON Triton tube amp. These are indeed expensive, but I have seen the early 1st gen amps going for around 4K on AG and Ebay,... | |
| McIntosh MPC500 vs Inakustik 3500P If your system is all McIntosh then its obvious which one, otherwise, McIntosh makes power amplifiers not power conditioners! McIntosh has not been around for decades and decades because of their "power conditioner technology"!!!Your WelcomeMatt M | |
| Best tonearm under $2k Very good advice Chakster, well said! To answer the OP's question...I would have to say without looking at cartridges at all, my $2,000 would go to a SME 309, Period! Matt M | |
| What’s really hurting the audio hobby? Throughout the many decades of being a avid audio fan. The passion came from MUSIC and the knowledge came from family and friends. Stereo stores did little to excite any passions that were not already there, very rarely did audio salesman offer up... | |
| Why the fascination with subwoofers? Those of you who think adding a sub woofer is just adding bass to a system are missing the point. A truly great sub woofer adds feeling and will not take over the system, it will just add what the mains are not delivering, and when this happens co... |
