| Keeping backup equipment? I'm keeping enough separate components on hand so when my daughter gets set in any one place long enough she will have a system set up. I gave her a McIntosh RS100 for their current apartment, which sounds great (if they would just play it loud e... | |
| Interesting thought @dill I noticed the LA Bar photo has McIntosh equipment.Last time I was in San Francisco I went to a wine bar / Tapas place right down near the ferries because the write-up about them talked about them having McIntosh in the place. It was true,... | |
| What Is The Most Romantic Song That You Have Ever Listen To? Without a doubt, for me it is John Hiatt's "Have A Little Faith In Me". Played and danced to that tune on our plywood floors with my future wife just before I flew back home to conclude an overseas romance. She was worried, but that dance and so... | |
| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. I continually peruse used record stores no matter where I travel, in addition to the local shops here where I live. Always find the best stores in the cities I visit and get dirty fingers. I always try to cut to the chase and ask the same questi... | |
| Do you have ways to ease use of vinyl? Fun post. Key is to have the platter at such a height that your elbows are at a 90 degree angle. No bending, stooping, leaning, etc. I lucked out with the height of my built-in cabinet and height of turntable, it works out this way. There are ... | |
| McIntosh I wouldn’t panic. Ask your dealer to check up on it. I know that several products are indeed on back order. Just don’t have the staff to fill orders fast enough. Some products literally have one or two people building them.My MCT 500 CD Transp... | |

| My System's Weakest Link - What Say You... Thank you all for the responses. They have been great, and mirror lots of my thinking.At this point, I am thinking my MT5 turntable is the weak link given all the vinyl I listen to. I'm looking to upgrade the turntable to something on par with t... | |
| Is louder better? Many interesting responses hear that have lots of relevance. But I don't believe their is a universal rule that can be applied to answer your question. Tends on the music, mostly. Recordings too can be sublime or harsh. Obviously one sounds be... | |
| Jazz listening: Is it about the music? Or is it about the sound? A few issues back The Absolute Sound had a Editor Column (guest I think) that discussed three types of listening. Made perfect sense to me. I'll paraphrase: (1) Listening to and for the best possible sound imaginable; (2) Listening to and for th... | |
| Amplifier knobs...where to "set" on the clock? My McIntosh MC2152 does not have volume controls, but I have plenty of other knobs I can turn! | |
| members and their systems @glupson "I bought all of my audio equipment myself. It was not that expensive, unless you ask my friends" I love it.How many times has this happened to you: A friend comes over, you turn on the system to play beautiful sounds for them, and the ... | |
| Experience With Linear Tracking Turntables Thanks for the responses thus far. I understand the benefits of a linear tracking tonearm. From a common sense standpoint coupled with high school geometry, it does make sense. But if is such a good thing, then why are there so few linear track... | |
| Band of an instrumental piece played in march 1971 on a FM station from Muncie, IN? I think the electric violin has to be the clue here. Please let us know if you ever find the answer. I'm shooting for an early progressive bands called "If" or the Italian band PFM. | |
| The Most "Analog" CD Player? If I add a DAC does it turn from a player to a transport? |
