| Amp recommendations for KEF R7 speakers A good friend is running a Mac solid state integrated with his Meta 50 speakers and they sound fantastic. I had heard the Meta 50’s elsewhere with a non-Mac integrated and I found them a bit shrill. Definitely, the McIntosh amp is a good match. | |
| Problem: Pro-ject Audio CD Box RS2 T transport It’s a shame that some manufacturers don’t fully vett their products before selling to the mass public. I realize that sometimes things happen but it is unacceptable that a brand new unit is noisy. I find it more discerning that they are working ... | |
| Primaluna signal tube replacement I bought some of “Kevin’s stash” tubes for my Mac preamp mc phono stage. They are so quiet, it’s scary. Well worth the money. | |
| Best place to buy Mcintosh Integrated Amp Audio Classics is the best place for new and used McIntosh equipment. I personally have purchased 7 pieces of used McIntosh equipment from them. Their used equipment looks as good as new equipment and comes with all the boxes and packing(import... | |
| New Pass Labs Go To @charliee, I believe you got your wish, post was removed. I never saw what had been posted so I won’t comment. | |
| Horn vs AMT tweeter difference I feel the opposite, I love Golden Ear and hate Monitor Audio. | |
| Legacy Audio I-V2 anyone? One of the major online review sites did a review of that amp, only with a few more power modules in it and gushed over it. Sorry I can’t remember the name. It was around 6 months ago. He said the sound was effortless and pretty much perfect in ... | |
| Speaker cable recommendations Canare 4S11 speaker cable. A 10 foot pair terminated should run around $120.00. | |
| JW Audio Signature Interconnect - I can't get anyone even to try them Lower the price. Used cables are a dime a dozen here. | |
| Best way to clean glossy finish on speakers? On my piano black speakers, I use a spray bottle to put a fine mist of diironized water on the speakers and wipe with a microfiber cloth, one direction only. I have been doing this the past 6 years with no scratches, lines or swirls. | |
| Dumping McIntosh for Bose Good luck with that. You will probably have regrets a few months after purchasing the Bose. | |
| Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are? Why would you need suggestions from others as you may not like what I or other people like? I would make a list of all your favorite music and go from there. Your question is like asking others what you should eat for breakfast. | |
| As A Youngster, What Unit Puqued Your Interest In All This? When I was 14, I saved up all the money I made working in the back room of my uncles liquor store sorting return bottles and bought a Panasonic compact stereo system with a built in cassette recorder, BSR turntable, am/fm tuner and speakers for ar... | |
| To Raise or Not to Raise Heresy IV's @deep_333, quite the non-helpful and insulting response you gave. There is nothing wrong with his Klipsch speakers, it’s placement. | |
| Any High End Tube Preamps with *gasp tone controls? There is a McIntosh 220 preamp for sale here and it was a reasonable price. |
