| Techniques for isolating and comparing a component upgrade or change Cogent and practical advice, thanks @noromance | |
| Single vs Bi-wire Speaker Cable I was drawn to Bi-wire; looked it up in Get Better Sound and went with it on my former Marantz / B&W (IA/Speaker) 2 channel speaker combo. I was never able to "measure" an improvement, but it gave me peace of mind. I've since upgraded to a M... | |

| Why Music Has Lost it’s Charms (Article) Small minded article from a small minded author. Alas, there has never been a time with more musical creativity and new artists then the present. But if you don't know, you don't know. Time to venture out away from confines of SiriusXM and FM ra... | |
| My MC 2205 Amplifier is smoking??? Exclusive McIntosh sales and service since 1957; its the only brand they carry: High Fidelity Haven 7650 Greenleaf Ave, Whittier, CA 90602 (562) 698-6103 | |

Its all good man (Better Call Saul). Vendors should price at what market will allow (that is real price). Apo... | |
| Best audiophile earwax removal system? Local hearing specialist charges $99, it only takes about 5-10min with safe equipment and an expert tech. No pain and great results. Never thought it was necessary, but glad I did it. Probably not something needed more than once a year or so. | |
| Thinking Hybrid Integrated. McIntosh MA352; after one year it just gets better and better | |
| Placement of AMP and Turntable in-between speakers I agree with all; not just to agree, but it all makes sense. So much depends on the room size, type of equipment, room treatments; maybe even type of music. About a year ago I bought 30min from Jim Smith (Get Better Sound). Nicest man ever; he ... | |
| Does Formula 1 racing and high end audio go together for anyone else? Thanks for posting the question; yes it does! I watch F1 on my AV system which is separate from my 2 channel. Nothing like cranking it up at the start of the race! I had the chance to finally get to the USGP at COTA last year in Austin TX; whil... | |
| Intergrated Amp suggestions for B&W 805d4 2nd on the McIntosh MA352. Have tried it with B&W towers and the Mac brings out the best in them. |
