| Streaming virgin Bluesound has a nice user interface- I think worth the cost. | |
| Streaming virgin Is there a DAC within the integrated amp or transport?You may already have a DAC and only need to have a streamer to your system. | |
| Bought a new McIntosh amp MC 462 and MC 152 are drastically different amps. I currently have MC302 amp and have heard both MC 462 and MC 152. I'd equate the MC 152 great for the office but not for my primary system. I'd certainly evaluate other options at the price po... | |

| Smooth & Fusion Jazz, New Age Music Recommendation (Guitar, Piano) If you stream and have access to Linn’s Jazz streaming station - check it out. I’ve heard artist new and old I otherwise wouldn’t have heard. | |

| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? @bigtex22 Awesome - enjoy!. Those speakers are wonderful and I grin every time I turn on my Mc stuff! | |

| Turntable versus tonearm versus cartridge: which is MOST important?
