| Cables under the rug..... Why not do it through the wall properly...with receptacles? If you are handy with a giprock saw and a screwdriver you could make a neat job of it. As long as you are dealing with signal wires (no 120 VAC) you don't need an electrician. Just my two... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Perhaps for some it is the journey and sea of constant change that keeps them trapped on the Merry-go-round. Careful perusal of this thread and A'gon site in general shows that many audiophiles claim to have gotten off the merry-go-round (found th... | |
| What SS amp for ATC scm 19 ?? I noted your preferecnes - SS, cheap, detailed, transparent and honest. The 19 prefers a lot of power and you may find yourself wanting to listen louder, as, unlike some designs, it sounds just as good at elevated levels. I'd suggest 150 Watts eve... | |
| Clarinet Music on vinyl or CDs Opalchip may be well be right about Michaelson's Clarinet playing....I just liked the recording that is all. I don't think I ever got skilled enough at Clarinet to recognize a great player from simply a very good one. Just my two cents... | |

Can you stream audio from iTunes simultaneously to several Airport Express? (this may be a weakpoi... | |
| Harman/Levinson/Proceed/Lexicon/Revel/ Deal Busted Private Equity has kind of worked like flipping houses in an up market....many players with no intention of remining as owners for any significant length of time...i.e. many speculators that should not be in the market and who are just looking for... | |
| The Irrational But Efficacious CD Tweak Well, amazing results happened in my system:1) Great increase of transparency/clarity.2) The soundstage got bigger with more layering.3) Macrodynamics/slam /jump improved. This is normally the sort of thing you can only get by with an amp upgrade... | |

| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear i own a mac 275 amp. it is not a particular tube-like sounding amp. it is an amp many audiophiles would like if they took the time to listen to it.i intend to sell it within a month. Good luck - it seems Mcintosh in no longer an audio fashion sta... | |
| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear Brand is for the fashion conscious. I don't think you have to be fashionable to be a true audiophile although if you are very fashion conscious and shun Mcintosh because it no longer carries an aura of exclusivity....more fool you! | |
