Falconquest...Thanks for the bucket head suggestion.  I'd never heard of him before and went on iTunes and Tidal to check him out.  Diverse as all hell, fascinating, thoroughly amazing output.  Where the heck have I been??? 
I have seen some Interesting comments about Mcintosh lately
I still think that McIntosh produces a good product.  I would not have spent $6500 on the new MAC6700 receiver if I though it looked,  or sounded sub-par.  My reason for selling it was derived from the amp's "voicing",  a pretty obvious,  IMHO,  t... 
Peachtree Reliability issues?
I received my factory refurbished Peachtree 220se the other day and it was dead on arrival.  I hooked it up and it simply remained in standby mode, no other input would respond.  A brick.I sent my email explaining my plight,  and Peachtree's immed...

I'm something of a fan for Anticables,  but I'm now using Goertz Veracity cables with bananas all around.  Anticables have a habit of becoming loose when I occasionally have to move the speakers. They're very stiff. (I just bought a Primare i22 in... 
Peachtree Reliability issues?
rsangle...I'll be listening through an ARC LS3 preamplifier and Thiel CS3.5 loudspeakers.  From what I've seen on Peachtree's site it appears the 220se is being discontinued, being replaced by the Sona amp?  The Sona's specs are a tad lower in ter... 
Thiel Audio Contact??
They do. I contacted them a while back on my first pair of 3.5's. One midrange's paper suspension had a small hole in it. They quoted $300 for each.  Not cheap but for such a great loudspeaker well worth the investment IMHO.

jafant...I'm also thinking of raising my Thiels a few inches higher than their bases situate them currently.  I read much about Maggie 1.7's here and used similar information to good effect when I had those.  (I love Magnepan,  too.)MHO:  Thiels a...

jafant...I played the CJ MF200 for a few hours yesterday and I can say that it's a pretty impressive amp for its age.  CJ doesn't offer a power rating into a 4 ohm load like my Thiels,  but with 200 watts into 8 ohms I will assume I won't be stres...

I just hope McIntosh doesn't make a 2 channel wristwatch....

Just for the heck of it today I stopped in at my local bricks and mortar shop right here down in good old Lake Grove,  NY.  I'm about to invest in SOMETHING new.Anyway,  after talking with my sales guy for a while regarding new amps I spotted a us... 
Conrad Johnson 350 vs Pass Labs X amp
I've owned the Pass Labs X150.5 amp,  at the time using an Audio Research LS2 tubed pre - unbalanced.  So I had a kinda/sorta "hybrid" set up,  solid state with the Pass,  tube with the ARC.  I obtained the Pass shortly after buying a First Watt M...

Re:  Linda Ronstadt...One of the best things she ever did....Google Linda Ronstadt/Phoebe Snow duet and watch the YouTube clip.I remember watching it live - made me a fan of both.Watch the ending - they had a blast!
