Improving Comcast modem signal
LPS? Linear Power Supply? Are you loosing packets? If your not dropping the signal, not loosing packets, what is it your looking for? I went from Cat 5 to Cat 8 that was an eye opener. I use Comcast and their router with the noisy power supply. ... 
McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer
Birds of a feather.  Contributing as usually I see.  No ones feelings got hurt, but there is a point where empathy can. Mr/Mrs @vuch comes out of no where and you think insulting Mac owners by joining in is a wise move? As a guy that owns Sans... 
Cable manufacturers?
You do understand you're arguing with someone from 5 years ago. I don't think he's stupid at all.   
Protecting Equipment from Children
It's simple you don't have to teach kids to be bad, you have to teach kids to be good. I was taught that by my grandmother. She was born is 1889 and went to heaven in 1988. She was SMART. The better choices you give kids the better choices they ma... 
Where is Geoff Kait???😢
I always walked away with more questions than answers. There was also the assault crew that commented on every comment he ever made. Man that sure got old. He gave as good as he got but it had to wear on him. It sure did on me. LOL I wasn't event ...

New McIntosh C22 - Upgrade Transparent Balanced Musiclink Plus
Tubes OP. I've been a Mac guy for 50 years. C22 is a very nice piece. If you're going to use the MC, MM phono sections same goes for that. Telefunkens, RCAs, Blackburns, or the PSVANE Art Series. ECC83 12AX7. Just a pair, not all 6. In the "Main"... 
Unity in cable manufacturers?
Sure it is, you get to spend your money in one place. Sounds good to me. Funny thing about "LOOM" thinking is different cable in the "LOOM" are made by different manufactures and (whoever) puts their name on it.  Pretty simple to figure out, tha... 
Those who seek to deny access to information
jjss49 You better stop making sense! :-) As for the Amex card, PLEASE post the front and back on the Virtual System page. I'd like to use it too. Regards  
Inflation
LAND, they ain’t making any more of it I can afford. BUY LAND! I had a steady return over 37 years of 8.9%. Mostly open land close to LA. Tax lien sales. The stock market is the 90% of suckers paying the 10% of thieves. Economies pretend there is... 
New McIntosh C22 - Upgrade Transparent Balanced Musiclink Plus
C22 is a valve unit. The "MAINS" swap that pair for a pair of Telefunken (certed BP) and get a pair of PSVANE Art Series valves.. The cables, leave all that stuff, Transparent has had more upgrades than MIT and they are both bettered by 200.00 ca... 
Protecting Equipment from Children
My dog and rabbit guard the stereo. If they can get past the dog they have to face the rabbit. Tough nut that Junior, he takes no crap from kids.  ALL my kids learned OWIE!. That is an owie! When the kids don't learn I swat the parents. Teach you... 
50 hours on Monitor Gold 200's enough?
200 hours ay.. Put them face to face blanket them up, 25-50% with a SS amp go to work. :-) You notice a lot bigger change that way and they break in a lot quicker. Teflon caps in XO I've left under blankets 24/10 at least 15 times. Horrible to br... 
Help me solve another speaker hum thread :)
The first thing I would do is make sure the cables are routed correctly. It sounds like cables are plugged, dropped and forgot. 1/2 the time I can fix noise in a system with routing cables at 90 degree crossing and nothing closer than 1/2". Over, ...
