| McIntosh vs Accuphase? I don't know what you have going on in your bedroom, acoustically, but the McIntosh RS200 has amazing sound. I was blown away by how it sounded. Give it a listen. You too will be amazed. | |
| B&W vs. Sonus Faber I own a pair of B&W 804's and have had several pairs of Sonus Faber. Currently run Lilliums. Everything is powered by McIntosh. There is a reason that Sonus Faber is now in the McIntosh family. I would never describe Sonus Faber as "dark".... | |
| tough choices McIntosh! My dealer runs the Aida’s on McIntosh Monoblocks, through McIntosh components. My lord does that system sound amazing! Love those speakers. System used to have Lilliums, but some how they ended up in my house. But they sounded great... | |

| Buying a DAC when you can't try it first @soix said it all. I second that. I’ll add that we did a comparison of three separate streamers on the same system and the difference was quite remarkable. Obvious improvement, well, the more you spend. | |

| Stupid Mistake Am I the only one that realized the MC just contradicted himself from one of his posts I read three minutes ago that appeared in my inbox about "Amplifier Warm UP"? | |
| Mixing & Matching Components @mahler123I think you are on to an interesting conversation. Specific manufactures' components may be more inclined to be better integrated with each other than other manufacturers. Some manufactures are known for quality components no matter wh... | |
| Mixing & Matching Components @jtcf @russ69 Thanks to you both. Appreciate your thinking and perspectives. I must admit that I almost have a fear that if I start trying other flavors out there, I may like them! I retired in January and I’m moving into the “fixed income” pur... | |
| Mixing & Matching Components @MillerCarbon. Your point is what? | |
| I think I over treated my room. I can't hear anything. Thanks - Interesting post. | |
