| Have you ever tried a pair of speakers and said this Is the last thing I will ever need. My answer to your question is "Yes, until something else comes along." | |
| Do I need a power conditioner? Power conditioners, power plugs, interconnects, speaker cables...all kinds of opinions about these. Some say they hear differences, others hear no differences, double blind tests often not conclusive of anything. Very subjective topics. | |
| IS THE MARTIN LOGAN Renassance 15A worth the $10,000 higher cost than the Expression 13A Sleepsurf, I am curious. I have Summit X's. Did you use the spiked legs on your Summit X speakers, and what kind of difference did it make in the sound? Thank you for your reply | |
| Your Favorite Top 10 tuners all time I would add the McIntosh MR-74 and MR-77 to the lists above. Both of these tuners sound very much like the MR-78 | |
| Do I need a power conditioner? Does anyone? | |
| Best powercables for Martin Logan 15A speakers I have never used aftermarket power cords and so have no opinion about them. I have a pair of ML Summit X's and am using the power cords that came with them. The speakers sound great | |
| A higher level than Mullard in tube quality? These are all really great posts. I learned much about tubes when I re-tubed my McIntosh MR-71 tuner last fall. I went with NOS Telefunkens, all made in the 1950's and 1960's. At the same time, I also changed the cheap Chinese made tubes in my M... | |

| TUBES: Telefunken EL84 & ECC801 I use NOS Telefunken tubes from the 50's and 60's in my two pieces of McIntosh gear. I am sure there are other good brands, but this is the tube brand that I use with much satisfaction. | |
| April 2017 review of the Paradigm Persona 9H A home run for Paradigm! To go back to the original question, I also read the review of the new Paradigm speaker. I have read many reviews written by Anthony Cordesman over the years I respect him very much. Having said that, just listen to your own ears and get the sp... | |
| Ever sit down to listen and just say wow? Sure, it happens often. | |
| Tube preamp reliability vs SS? I have a McIntosh C2300 tube preamp, bought new in 2008. Last year I replaced the cheap Chinese tubes that McIntosh provided with Telefunken NOS tubes from the 1960's. The difference in sound was incredible! I also retubed a classic McIntosh MR-... | |
| Mcintosh MVP 831 as CD player/reliability... I have no personal knowledge of the MVP 831. However, I still have the McIntosh MCD7000 CD player, and it works perfectly after 32 years of use. Of course, technology and sound quality has moved on since its introduction in 1985, but this doe... | |
| Upscale Audio -- Tubes and Reliability I live just a short distance from Upscale Audio but have never been to the store. Based on such glowing reviews, I'll stop by UA. | |
| The awful truth about CDs, do they have the same shelve life as LP's ? I have many CDs over 30 years old, and have not experienced any aging problems with them. |
