| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? What @stuartk said | |
| Have an integrated amp with only 1 subwoofer out... Why not take an RCA splitter cable with one connection to the IA and two out. One to sub; the other to the EQ? Not sure if this will diminish the out signal, but I once used this to power two subs from a single IA out port and it seemed to work j... | |

| How Many Readers Come & Go Could be the case or could be your question simply didn't resonate with the audience at the time (very typical with most social media, not a dig at your question). Just post a new question; re-think your title and get right to the core point of y... | |
| Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say? So personal and revealing a situation; I'll tag on to previous comments: Depends on the nature of your relationship; how close you both are. Depends if he's aspiring to be an audiophile. Depends on if he's asking for your "honest evaluation."... | |
| room treatment gurus, please Get the book and make a call to the author; he's very accommodating with his expertise: Get Better Sound by Jim Smith | |
| SACD Players I've had the McIntosh MCD85 for two years and am really pleased with the CD and SACD performance. Not sure if the retro MCD chrome will match your set up but it is a classic look. One thing to note; the availability of SACDs is limited; several ... | |
| Integrated Amps I went from a Marantz PM8005 to a McIntosh MA352. A big change in budget, but the 200w hybrid integrated really paired well with my Dynaudios. Since upgrading I'm not wanting for power, bass, details and soundstage. The MA352 does have dual subwo... | |
| McIntosh Tube Amp will not come on. One more thought; try doing a factory reset. You'll lose custom settings but that may do the trick. | |
| McIntosh Tube Amp will not come on. I've had a MA352 for three years without any issues. I have called McIntosh support for questions and they were very helpful and responsive. You'll speak with a tech not a call center front person. | |
| If Steely Dan had a different vocalist Nice find; listening to their Friday album. I definitely hear strong Steely Dan influence, but not early SD more like 2000s Two Against Nature SD or Gaucho album. Slick and jazzy rock with cool lyrics. Songs play like a cover of "Gaslighting Annie... | |
| If Steely Dan had a different vocalist Thanks for the suggestion; I saw a news story on MH and didn’t think much but now I will check them out. But when I think of Steely Dan, I don’t think greatest hits (even though they had many) and don’t think live performance. I see them as progr... | |
| Are Marantz and Bowers & Wilkens becoming pawns in Masimo's internal fight? I think there’s few comments because I offered a poorly constructed question. My interest in this topic and Masimo was partly past experience consulting at a medical device company and wondering if the marriage of medical devices and consumer elec... | |
| Marantz SA10 sacd player @immatthewj yikes! Didn't know SA10 was $7k must have confused it with the 30N at $3K. There you go I saved $ by getting a McIntosh 😉, never thought that would happen. | |
| Marantz SA10 sacd player I have the solution; spend more! I bought the McIntosh MCD85 SACD player. My logic was that it would open up my options on SACD and revive my CD collection. But alas like much in audio the results are mixed. I have SACDs that are virtually equa... |
