Yeah...In the past two/three years I've had...The newest McIntosh stereo receiver MA6700Which I liked kind of...took that back and bought the MC275 tube amp because, well, it looked so cool. Had a minor issue with it which McIntosh customer servic...

Because I'm an idiot!!!I think I did to fund a McIntosh MC275.  Still kicking myself for that.

Jafant...Were I constrained by space I'd definitely consider the integrated based upon my experience with the 150.5 amp - besides that, an appreciable cost efficiency as well. I see that Reno Hifi has one for $3795 right now. If you were to go sep...

Unsound...Thanks for your thoroughly enlightening information!  By far and away the most informative I've received or have been able to read about them. I should make it clear that I had/have absolutely no qualms regarding the bass output of these...

Rhythmic L12 vs. SVS SB-1000
Even though I'm selling my L12 because I sold my Maggie .7's I couldn't resist purchasing it because of the price -. $539 direct from Rythmik. Previously I had a small Rel, and a B&W sub - I forget the model.  The Rythmik was, IMHO, as "musica... 
What has your audiophile experience taught you about yourself?
Science!!!   I chortle.  
Yes "Fragile" How great of an album is it?
I found it on some silly compilation album which all but a few times saw the light of any air play back in the day, their cover of Paul Simon's "America."Man, what a recording.  10 minutes, too!I've put together a collection of covered tunes on my...

Jafant... I have a 3TB hard drive as backup for the Hap. I've been slapping some files onto a Zip drive and loading it into the Hap that way. Works well.

Interesting news for Peachtree Audio fans
I only learned of his departure when I was hanging out at Audio Den here in beautiful downtown Lake Grove - a town with neither a lake nor a grove to lay claim to. I've had a few Peachtree products all of which I purchased from the Den or Stereo E...
