| Keeping Audiophilia And The Love Of Music Alive & Well! @stuartk :No need for apologies! I'm enjoying this insight into how different audiophiles go about their shopping and selection process or processes, as the case may be. Seems like you are going about this in a very cautious, well-informed and wel... | |
| Keeping Audiophilia And The Love Of Music Alive & Well! Stuartk, I understand completely and couldn't agree more! All the shops I've ever purchased any major component from have always had either a 30 day or 60 day full refund return policy and most never had a re-stocking fee for returns. So, I've alw... | |
| Keeping Audiophilia And The Love Of Music Alive & Well! So, all you folks who believe the time of brick & motor shops have come & gone, please help me understand this.By way of example, lets say you were in the market for a new pair of speakers and had narrowed your contenders down to... say...... | |
| Keeping Audiophilia And The Love Of Music Alive & Well! MillerC, your post just reminded me of a line from "The Producers" (1967) where Zero Mostel yells: "If you've got it, baby, flaunt it!". Not sure I'd go that far but, nonetheless, enjoy!Edcyn, thanks for the tip on the Cognac. I'll have to try it... | |
| Pairing MA 5300 with Large Advents for 900 sq ft apartment? arcticdeth, I hope that's a joke because that's exactly the type of thinking embraced by all the maroons in all the apartment complexes I lived in before buying a house. | |
| Keeping Audiophilia And The Love Of Music Alive & Well! jrw1971, off-topic notwithstanding, I love that kind of thinking! Don't know how diagnostic this is but I love MAC amps and don't care much for CABs. I lean more toward Merlot, Cotes du Rhone, Chateaux Neuf du Pape, Bourdeaux (from Gironde), Pinot... | |
| Keeping Audiophilia And The Love Of Music Alive & Well! Interesting points of view, all! Truly appreciate hearing or, rather, reading how other folks approach this!I completely understand how one can never really know what a major component will sound like under one's roof until you actually get it th... | |
| Pairing MA 5300 with Large Advents for 900 sq ft apartment? Paulinastoria, you can email MAC. Just go to their site. You'll find the email address there. | |
| Bass sensation like a loud car system in home? Yukispier, is this desire for bass response on steroids related to a home theater application (e.g. action movies; etc.)? In an apartment or condominium setting, even at low volumes, bass like that is still likely to annoy your neighbors. Even a d... | |
| Pairing MA 5300 with Large Advents for 900 sq ft apartment? This is a great question for MAC Labs and, as a MAC owner myself (actually, the MAC owns me), I would recommend you email this question to them. In my experience, they have always been very helpful with just about any questions you might have abou... | |
| Who is ditching their shiny disc spinners? Like everything in forums like this, this is just an opinion... a preference. So, please don't get your shorts or panties in a twist!I haven't read all the the responses/comments in this thread. However, I have to say I am solidly in the camp of ... | |
| Quality 1 meter RCA Interconnects under $100? Save your money and spend it on music! What you have is plenty good enough for a "basic systems", whatever that is.Release the dogs of cable controversy! | |
| Safe and Sound (safeandsoundhq.com) Just want to chime in with another thumbs-up for Safe and Sound Audio in Chicopee, MA! I purchased a CD player from them years ago. I still use it and am still very pleased with its performance. Whenever I am in the market for a new toy, I defi... | |
| Speaker Road Trip Dadork, I understand the angst all too well, having recently completed a many months quest to replace a beloved pair of Paradigm. However, my longest road trip was only 2 hours; nothing compared to what you and your family endured. God bless them ... | |
| Speaker Road Trip Huh? You "drove from the very tip of the mitt in Michigan to Nashville."? I admire the zeal and dedication but wouldn't Music Direct in Chicago have been less of a haul?. They probably wouldn't have everything you're interested in, unless they ha... |
