| Whats playing on your system today? CSN&Y, “4-Way Street” | |
| Off-topic: question on custom wiring car audio controls There are lots of high end car audio shops around. I would call one in your area and have them wire it. One wrong move and you could burn out one of the many computer chips new autos have. | |
| Refurb GAS Grandson amp or put money towards another amp? I had a Son of Ampzilla back in the late 70’s and wish I never sold it. There used to be a company called gaslight that repaired GAS equipment. I met James Bongiorno once at an Audio show. He was quite flamboyant and was playing Jazz on the piano... | |
| Scratched woofer surround rubber I have received brand new woofers from Scanspeak that had more scuffs on the woofer surrounds than those ELAC have. | |
| Magico M9 The new 'norm' in speakers I see lots of armchair critics here talking about something they have not heard. I am sure they will sell every one they make, there are a lot of very rich people in this world. This is the same as the Audiophile group I am in on Facebook. As of l... | |
| Ever feel like a "low dollar" customer that your dealer doesn't think worth their time? There was/is a particular store in Framingham, MA that treated me that way. Thousands were spent in the store and always in cash, never asked for a discount and never got one. Sometimes they went out of their way for me when I was buying somethi... | |
| Luxman 509 or McIntosh 8900 I have never heard anyone who owns McIntosh say they were fatiguing sounding. If anything, they are warm sounding. | |
| Trying to decide on a tuner - Mcintosh MR88 / Magnum Dynalab 108T / Magnum Dynalab 90T SE Let me try to help. I have owned 3 Magnum Dynalab tuners, the Etude, MD90, MD102. They were all good tuners and sound quality was excellent. I used them with the Magnum Dynalab ST2 antenna. In 2018, I purchased a slightly used McIntosh MR88 tun... | |
| How Long Did It Take You To Build Your Dream Setup? 50+ years. | |
| Big source improvement using CD player I find if I use the Sony server, I don't listen to the entire album. I am always skipping around. With the CD player, I listen to the entire disk. That in itself is much more relaxing to me. | |
| In your experience, what is the best Pioneer Elite units of Audiophile quality? I used a PD65 for 20 years and I loved the player. Unfortunately the laser fell out ( it’s glued in) so I dumped it. Are the later Pioneer Elite CD Players as good? | |
| Which one to choose between two 80K$ tube amps? I thought it was just me with Skyfi I sent them a very polite message saying they were doing a big disservice by saying the Technics SL1200 MKII they were selling for a lot of money is the same as the Technics SL1200G which is a completely differe... | |
| Big source improvement using CD player @roberttdid,My Esoteric player is dated 2008. Ralph at Spearit Sound told me it was the third best player he ever heard, the other two were made by DCS. I really didn’t believe it at the time but this player sounds so right. The music server is... | |
| Which one to choose between two 80K$ tube amps? There were 2 or 3 items I was looking for that Sky Fi was selling but I am blocked from the site because I called them out on a blatant lie in one of their offerings. The items are still for sale. Too bad as I really wanted them. |
