| Any McIntosh C48 owners out there? For any C48 owners still kicking around this forum, I have a problem. I bought a fully serviced Teac 3340S reel-to-reel. The 'Record Out" outputs and on the back of my C48 will not move the needles of my Teac. If I take RCA Out #2 on the back... | |
| New Aurender conductor V4 app I figured it out. The 'clear queue' button used to be an X. Now it's a trashcan icon | |
| New Aurender conductor V4 app I updated the Conductor 4 app on my iPad to ver. 4.26.11. Now there is no option to 'clear queue' which used to be on the left side above the current queue. Help please. Tanks | |

| Rant: PSA to builders, housewives, and general complaint I have no idea why someone would jack a TV up to the ceiling. Stairing up above the fireplace mante would become very uncomfortable after a while. What about a hard day after work and you want to strtch out on the couch and watch TV? Maybe peo... | |
| Power cable Don't waste your money. Put it into room conditioning. A good quality amp converts AC to DC, rectifies it, filters it and regulates it. It could care less about the 6' to your outlet, the distance to your electrical panel, or the run up to the ... | |
| Power cable I would put my surplus cash into room conditioning before I would waste my money on power cords. You realize a good quality amp converts the AC to DC, filters and regulates, and could care less about the 6' from your wall outlet to your amp. | |

| Are your listening levels healthy? Doing damage? I have the meters on my power amp set to 'hold' in watts and it shows 55 watts. However, I have an SPL app on my iPhone and it shows 85 - 90 db. I am not sure which one is accurate but it is loud enough for me. My speakers are only rated for 8... | |
| Level the floor My living room slopes a little. My 4' towers were out about 1/2" out at the top. The speakers and iso-insulators sit on 16" x 16" x 2" concrete blocks. I shimmed out the edge of the concrete block where it meets my carpet. No difference in sou... | |
| How serious are you? @bdp24 After a hiatus from my cancer surgery, I jumped back into the audio forums in April this year (2023). I bought a PSA DirectStream DAC so my natural inclination was to follow the PSA forums. I became so disillusioned with the cult followi... | |
| How serious are you? I had tongue cancer surgery in April 2021 followed up with chemo and radiation. I have been into audio since the 1970 but lost all interest in everything. My music did nothing for me, I had no interest in my 'retirement Porsche' and my wife and ... | |
| I used to think pricey interconnects were snake oil... Without getting into cables and the snake oil debate, I personally think money could be better spent before cables. Room conditioning would be a start IMO. | |
| Music exposure observation @nonoise @noromance I can agree with you both but I still think finances could be a factor as well. I was getting a first-hand account from my millennial next door neighbor | |
| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often I am dumbfounded at the number of companies around the world trying to inject their footprint into high end audio market whether it is amps, DACs or speakers. You are right OP, a small highly specialized market. It appears to me the only way to ... |
