Vinyl playback - lack of bass?
This is not my experience. Prior to improving the isolation of my turntable there I felt there was an advantage to the quality of sound between analog and digital above 65-70 dbs.    I has an HRS isolation system and that is no longer the case. I... 
Dan D'Agostino Pendulum Intergrated review
I heard the amp powering Wilson’s new Watt Puppies - I was impressed.    The sound was dynamic, finessed and it surprised me on its ability to fill the rather large room. It is better than any other $15k integrated I have recently heard.    I ex... 
is McIntosh known for good dynamics?
I have owned McIntosh and I felt my system had wonderful dynamics. And it certainly can present a wonderful listening experience.  I also feel the house sound has a slight veil - in auditioning alternative options I preferred ‘house sound’ of oth... 
Talk me out of buying Monoblocks and into a stereo amp instead
I have owned both. And I cannot rationalize the M462 over 611s if the cost is irrelevant based on performance alone.  There are other implications including space, logistics of set-up and connectivity that could favor a stereo versus monoblocks. ...

Do You Unplug Equipment During Thunderstorms?
No. I have a Shunyata conditioner and whole house breaker.

What about the listener? Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, isn’t it?    
Swiss Options - Piega & Stenheim
Glad to hear you found a good solution for you! There are many exceptional speakers available and I think getting the opportunity to listen to them is the best way to find the pair that fits your needs.  
Speaker or amplifer
It's your ears you must satisfy.  If you are looking for more dynamics and more bass - the difference between tube (Rogue) and solid state (Hegel) will be a significant change.  The Sonetto V G2 is an excellent speaker and an improvement over the... 
Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ?
And don't forget Linn and Rega...they are Scottish  
Moon 390 Network Streamer
There is a significant difference between the M400s and 860Av2. The space between notes is extremely apparent.  I personally would step up the model line since the cost is still the same. I’d even consider see if there are 860Av2 available and th... 
Moon 390 Network Streamer
@singere I owned the M400s -I loved them.  I'd recommend them in a heart beat. Prior to the M400s I was using McIntosh MC-302 (300 watt/ch) and considering upgrading to the MC-462 (450 watt/ch).  I listened to the 330a and I preferred them to the... 
Moon 390 Network Streamer
@singere There's a program called "Over the Moon' where you can purchase your first moon gear and get 100% on trade in 12 months or 75% in 24 months if you upgrade in the product line. I'd strongly consider verifying it still exists and purchase ...
