| What is this feature? I am not sure there is a name for it but i always turn my amplifier all the way down before powering down because that is how i was taught. It is a very nice feature to have though so you have no accidents while listening. | |

| About the importance of the room vs the electronics setting up the system in the room and making sure it meshes with your room is as important as the electronics in the system. A lot of people waste much time and money chasing sound that setup and critical evaluation can fix instead of spending tho... | |

| Two defective pieces in a row - unreasonable to demand refund? Get a refund it is obvious that mcintosh is not what it used to be anymore and i have felt that way for a long time. | |
| Jazz listening: Is it about the music? Or is it about the sound? It is about both but when you get the best recordings of really great music the thought about the sound goes away and yes the better the system the more the flaws of most recordings are shown.
