| Upgrading - what amp to choose Hello fellow canadian, in all honesty, I have owned a truckload of amps in the past 25 years. Full tube, solid state, hybrids. The one I enjoyed most is my current Pathos Logos with a small collection of 6922 tubes that I roll for the fun if it. I... | |
| Why do McIntosh come with cheap plastic remotes? Visiting this thread from 2 years ago. I still find it unjustified to have cheap remotes on mega-dollar gear.When you put your name on expensive audio, there should only be one quality standard across the board.However well a cheap plastic remote ... | |
| Advice - What turntable should I buy ??? My humble opinion from my 25 years in this hobby. By the way I also own the Oppo 105, so flexible and good-sounding.If you can strike a used Marantz TT-15S1 it should be within your price range. Here are my reasons for going this route.1. It is re... | |
| Class A vs. AB vs. D... can you hear a difference? I owned class D amplifiers on two occasions, an expensive set of Cary monoblocks being one of them. First of all, these 500 watts per unit sounded no more authoritative than the 100 watts per side integrated it replaced. Secondly, even though I wa... | |
| Sadly missed manufacturers I miss Sonic Frontiers. Uncredible build quality and parts, amazing ergonomics ( that smooth- turning knob on their Line 1-2-3 preamps) and that funky but very nice hockey puck remote.Tactile and visual appeal, and the sound was darn nice too. | |

| Pre-recorded Reel-to Reel tapes Typical audiophile (and nothing wrong with this). In love more with the toy than the music. | |
| Chuck Mangione - Feels so Good I attended a Chuck Mangione concert over 30 years ago. My dad had been given tickets from a client and he passed them on to me. I remember going to the concert reluctantly and mainly as to not ''waste'' the tickets.It was in the Chase The Clouds A... | |
| Why do McIntosh come with cheap plastic remotes? I think finally that the remote should be considered as an extension or the unit, being of equal quality.I'm not saying the remote should be metal, but at least of higher grade plastic design.I own the Oppo 105. Bought an extra remote for only $ 1... | |
| worse entertainer or performer of all time?? New spin on old thread!I also happen to like William Shatner!I still stand by Kenny G as the worst of all time, in a tie with Michael Bolton and the singer from Nazareth ''Love Hurts'' closing in rapidly, what an ear bleeder this guy is. | |
| Can good IC's be used instead of dedicated phono's Thanks for your comment Brf: With type of metal makes a good grounding wire? copper? or does it matter at all? | |
