| Used Market Savings vs. The Dealer Experience In all my years Of buying high end audio, new from a store, I never got a 20% discount. Once I got 10% and when I bought my GE T Refs I got 500.00 off a pair of $8500 speakers and that was only after I pointed out I had bought a pair of GE Triton ... | |
| DC Offset Blocker/Killer - where to buy in the USA He already did that. He took the amp to a friends house and it still buzzed. | |
| DC Offset Blocker/Killer - where to buy in the USA @cleeds...…………………….I received 3 private messages. There also were a few posts in answer to my post but they seemed like guesses. | |
| DC Offset Blocker/Killer - where to buy in the USA 3 members of the forum told me there was a bad batch of the potted transformers which was confirmed by McIntosh. Let the dealer know about that. Best of luck and let us know how you make out. | |
| DC Offset Blocker/Killer - where to buy in the USA I own a Mac MC152 power amp and a MA6600 200wpc integrated and both are dead quiet. I have never heard of that. I will ask over at Audio Aficianardo Mac forum and see if others may have a clue. I’ll report my findings back here. Did you or the de... | |
| That "Wow" Moment! If you want a real wow moment, pick up Kim Simmonds and Savoy Brown "The Devil To Pay". I believe its only available on CD. Kim Simmonds is the founder of Savoy Brown. You should look for, "Street Corner Talking", or Hellbound Train". | |

Not positive but I believe you can output SACD from the Oppo using the HDMI out to a Wyred4Sound Dac with an I2 squared HDMI input. I ... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G @chakster...……….I truly appreciate the info you have given me, but as my Technics sounds fine (to me) as is, 300-450 is still way too much for a record mat. I would think that money would be better used to get a better cartridge. I use a ZU modi... | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) I'll say one thing, if I walked into an audio store with the intent of purchasing speakers there and bo1972 was my salesman, I would run out the door as fast as I could. Too much information sometimes isn't good. | |
| what to do with a 25 POUND subwoofer magnet-- broken intermezzo basket Woofer is toast. Time to buy a new one. Save the magnet, I find it good in the workshop for finding lost screws, etc. | |
