what's a good fm tuner?

Who owns or has owned McIntosh Speakers?
I heard a few pairs at Audio Classics.  I liked the Legacy Audio speakers they were selling much better.  The McIntosh cabinets are first class but the speakers really do not wow me.  This is coming from a McIntosh guy.  For the money, there is be...

Accuphase amps
I sold Accuphase components in the mid 70's when the brand was first introduced.  They were manufactured by Kensonic Labs at the time.  They were always the best sounding in our sound room and built like a brick **** house.

Need Help! My Class A Amp Is Running Very Hot
If you just bought the amp and are that worried, perhaps Class A isn't for you.  In that case, I would return the amp and buy the Class AB version instead. 
Time of build not apparent
My Esoteric SACD Player has the month and year manufactured right above the serial number plate.  All AI preamps have the year manufactured built into the serial number.   
Hopefully easy question: speaker cable spade size
I don’t know your specific amp but if it were I, I would go with the 8mm ones. Here is why: I bought expensive speaker cables with spades on both ends. The manufacturer used small spades because that is what they themselves manufacture. All my amp...

If I am looking at a Mac piece, it is imperative that the seller have the original box.  That is the only way the equipments glass front has a decent way to get to you intact.   
How many amps do you own?
@Elizabeth...……………………….I am intrigued by4 preamps in one system.  I understand a line and phono preamp, but what are the other 2 for and how do you implement them?  Do you get superior sound that way?  This really does intrigue me.

Snell E-5 with my Rega Brio?
If they sound good, grab them.  I had a pair of the original many moons ago, loved them then sold them.  I can't remember why I sold them, maybe I needed the cash?
