| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat The nonsense continues. “Best product in 40+ years....”How many superlatives have already been used on previous TC and SR products...and yet the new mat outdoes then all (until the next product promo of course)Shameful what has happened to Audiogo... | |
| mcintosh speakers They have not had much success. Few amplifier manufacturers make speakers successfully - it is a different and far more complex science. ATC (a loudspeaker maker) make amplifiers very successfully using simple discrete designs. | |

| McIntosh Guy Going Tubes? (Maybe?) You can always trade up to the C1100 (McIntosh have good resale value). I believe the C2600 is warmer and the C1100 is more resolving or SS leaning. For pure performance the C1100 will be better but the C2600 is already a great choice. | |

| McIntosh Guy Going Tubes? (Maybe?) C2600 preamp with a good quality SS power amp is the way to go, IMHO. You can roll tubes taste... | |

| If You Like Funk: Check Out Vulfpeck Great cover of higher ground. 12/8 is not often used in funk.Stevie Wonder seems to have borrowed liberally from James Brown who released this a month earlier...keyboards substituted for rhythm guitar.https://youtu.be/3qixQns6Xs4Funnily enough the... | |
| Comb Filtering - Quick way to Tell Comb filtering really sounds bad. It is best avoided.i think the Enzo only uses 1 of those tweeters in the top octave.examplehttps://youtu.be/4qgmY8jIGi0 | |
