| McIntosh and focal/jmlab Good for you! I have the 6600 and can only imaagine how great your 7000 must sound. Enjoy! | |
| Three best audiophile CD/LP in your collection The longer I think about it, the more likely the list will change so off the top of my head:Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms, 20th Anniversary SACDSteely Dan - Aja, Cisco LP reissueJohn Coltrane - Blue Train, Blue Note 2008 45 rpm LP reissue | |
| What's your favorite MFSL From my current collection I'd probably say Santana's Abraxas for vinyl and Little Feat's Dixie Chicken on CD. | |

| Cambridge Audio 840a vs McIntosh MA6500. I think you are experiencing yout first brush with the McIntosh house sound. Some, like myself, are big fans. To others, it may be an acquired taste or may never sound right. Your ears will let you know soon enough. | |
| Your First System I guess my first real system was in 1977 or 78 and consisted of a Realistic STA-2000 receiver, a pair of Mach 1 speakers and a totally forgettable Rat Shack cassette player (although it was my first with Dolby). I soon added a Technics SL-1900 TT.... | |
| Your Best Vinyl Memory My best vinyl memory is fairly recent. Like many, I had almost totally replaced my LP listening with CDs. While I never got rid of my TT or LPs,, I went through a period of many years where the the playing of an LP was a rare event. Then, about a ... |
