YouTube star Jay loves McIntosh MC 901 amplifier
@emergingsoul  So now he's a "star"? Please remember that this is the same Jay that called McIntosh gear mid-fi just a few years ago. His opinions have about as much substance as soap bubbles.  That said, I'm sure that it's a great amp, and I'd...

Wow! You must be pretty young @chmaiwald ! When I saw the name Bob Marley over the top of a picture of Jimi Hendrix, I thought that it was some kind of joke that I wasn't getting. I can't believe that you thought it was him.  Where did you see th...

Thiel Owners
@jonandfamily  Well congratulations to him on his Frankenthiel, He may like the sound, but he has changed the drivers as well as the crossover, so it is no longer a Thiel. It’s really surprising how many people thank that they can just freely sub...

Not a Queen fan and very tired of that song. The other one is a bit funny.  
An Amp Nobody Talks About, Bricasti Design
The reason nobody talks about it is probably because almost nobody can afford it.  
Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed?
Wow! That's really surprising and disappointing.  
Food: what does the typical audiophile eat?
@cdc  Now I get it...cdc stands for Centers for Disease Control.  
Do you past equipment appear in your dreams?
No nighttime dreams, but I occasionally have fond waking thoughts of some things that I 've owned, like the Spendor SP100's and the Nestorovic 5AS. Neither is as good as what I have now, but they had their own good personalities and brought me hap... 
The Horror
@erik_squires I strongly disagree with your opinion of the intent of @audiodidact ’s thread. I think that it was sincere, if a bit tongue in cheek. I also thought that it was interesting because many of us have likely found ourselves feeling som... 
Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed?
Some of you may recall that Greg got his start years ago offering first cosmetic upgrades to Klipschorns on ebay, and then horn and driver upgrades, then finally starting his own company and producing his own speakers. He was definitely inspired b... 
Recommendations for really well-recorded music for high-end audio system demo
Most discs by Chris Isaak.  
How Long Should a First Watt SIT3 Last ?
Don't buy that First Watt without hearing it. I owned the Quicksilver monos, and had trouble with them also, besides being lukewarm on the sound, but I also had a First Watt 7, and it sounded nothing like the Quicksilvers. I understand that the SI... 
Best way to offload currently inoperative Conrad Johnson MV60?
I agree with @ghdprentice . Fix it and you'll get a good price. You can't be that busy. People who say they have no time for anything still make time for things that they want to do.   
The Horror
@audiodidact  Who's that on the cover of Time magazine? Anyway, I think many of us have felt what you're feeling. I do think you're being too hard on yourself. You chose what you chose because it sounded good to you at the time, and it was withi...
