McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer

McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer

The Big Misconception About Electricity

Sonus Faber surprise
Warm, cold, neutral?  Compared to what?  And in what circumstances? Your ears? Your room? Your reality?  Music is music  Sonus Faber speakers are special.  And they serve the music.

Clearly, at least according to some, REL is clueless.  😀    
DAC That Punches Above Its Price Point
Jolida Glass FX with new production Mullards, coupled with an Iso Regen, an Oyaide USB cable, connected to a dedicated 2015 MacBook Air, Qobuz, Audirvana, and powered by updated/upgraded vintage MFA all-tube electronics, pre and mono amps, into So... 
Why the cost increase?
The earl, formerly known as punk and who knows what else- the name may change but he "soldiers" on as the very big star in his very own movie.Quick, somebody pass him another grenade!Mods. I think it's time to end this thread.  And,  please feel f...
