| Need help Choosing A New Interconnect After a lengthy conversation with Chris at VH Audio, and “Duster” on Audio Asylum, I decided to go with Chris’s V Twist CU24 cable and ETI Links RCA connectors in a 5 foot cable. He will be building it next week and ship out at the end of week. | |
| Yaqin MS-300C Integrated Amp Keeps Shutting Down I wouldn't go blowing money on new tubes until you know what is wrong with the amp. The Yaquin tube integrated I bought new back in the early 2000's caught on fire. Have it checked out first before blowing money. | |
| Honest opinions on my two picks of loudspeakers I wonder how many of you have really heard McIntosh speakers? Most likely, not many. I have heard 4 pairs of McIntosh speakers at Audio Classics, three on the lower end (up to 25K) and one of the much more expensive ones and WOW, they did not sou... | |

| Audible Illusions Modulus M3B, share your power amps match. When I had my Modulus 3B, I used an Odyssey Stratos Extreme amp, Conrad Johnson MF2550 amp and McIntosh MC152 amp. The Odyssey Stratos sounded best with the 3B. | |
| Cryoset online store - what happened? @jkuc ........"Upscale Audio sells cryogenic tubes. | |
| VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER! While I am sure it sounds amazing, I don’t see 100-120k worth of sound. I have owned 3 different VPI tables over the years and they always seem to be bigger in size than most others. Looks like they borrowed the look from ClearAudio. I’ll pass. | |
| Can McIntosh C2500 be converted to 240VAC Operation? Call either Audio Classics or McIntosh factory, both a 10 minute drive from one another. I own a C2500 and from what I know, the power transformer needs to be replaced with a 220 volt one. However, I have been known to be wrong many times. | |
| NYC audio dealers Most of the high end stores in NYC aren’t that hospitable to tire kickers. I second Audio Connection in Verona NJ and also the Audio Doctor in NJ. Yes, the pizza shop down the street from Audio Connections is excellent. | |
| How do you rationalize audio upgrades? I rationalize my upgrades with the saying, "live is too short". At 66 years old, it couldn't be more true. | |
| REVIEW: Pearl Jam, Live At Easy Street I can’t. MD will not take Something I already opened and played just because I do not like it. | |
| Vpi tnt or vpi rosewood prime b @don_c55 ................I too hate the 3D arm. It feels quite cheesy and does not inspire confidence to the user. | |
| Beware: New (at least to me) scam being run on Audiogon members All this does not mean there was a scam. When I started out here, I didn’t open an account until I saw something I wanted. Perhaps the person recognized your user name on Audio Mart from lurking here and decided to make an account so he could ma... |
