Anyone listen to Music on a FM tuner anymore?
I should have mentioned in my earlier post that I use the Magnum Dynalab ST2 antennas (one for each tuner) with my Mac tuners.  None of the so called powered antennas (think Terk) did anything but amplify a lot of noise.  With the Magnum antennas,... 
Anyone listen to Music on a FM tuner anymore?
I listen to FM stereo all day every day. Explanation, I have 2 systems. During the day, my main system is on and 95% of the time I am listening to FM on my McIntosh MR88 tuner. At around 4 in the afternoon, I turn off my main system and go upstair... 
How does the Mcintosh DAC1 compare to standalone DACS similar in price?
I have the DAC 1 in my McIntosh C2500 tube preamp.  It sounds good but no comparison to the R-to-R ladder DAC built into my Esoteric SACD player.  It has the same sound as my old Wyred 4 Sound DAC 2.  It sounds like every other DAC with the ESS ch...

Lifting the Christmas veil
My wonderful wife gave me a gift certificate to my favorite cannabis shop.  Best present ever!  
611s
I would go with a Mac 300 wpc amp. A pair of 611 monoblocks is overkill for those speakers  
Audio Quest Niagara 5000
I have also been considering the 5000 but I am not sure it will power my 4 source components, tube preamp and Mac 300wpc amp.  What do you think?  I could never afford the 7000.   
Logical next step from Legacy Signature SEs? Around $15K...
If you love the Legacy sound, why not move up the line?  
Wilson Audio Duette / Custom Crossover Upgrade
Where are the pictures and graph?  
Recommendation Tube Integrated
Prima Luna integrated, a turnkey integrated   
Any normal size speakers that sound like Volti
The speakers look fine in your room.  Plenty of space around them.  I would ignore everyone and enjoy.  Tell your wife it will cost 40K to get the same sound.  That should change her mind fast.   
Accuphase Line Conditioner PS1250 owners please comment on what power cord you are using
Doesn’t Accuphase have their own line of high end cords?  
Magico A3 replacement
What about trading in or selling your current speakers for the A5?   If I was ever changing speakers, they would be the ones.
