| Used Market Savings vs. The Dealer Experience All my recent purchases were from the same dealer. I purchased 6 McIntosh pieces of equipment this year, all from Audio Classics. They treat you so well, just like family. I deal exclusively with Mike Sastra who is the VP of Audio Classics. He alw... | |
| Used Market Savings vs. The Dealer Experience @jafant...…………………….I really don’t know. Jack Tozzi was still selling off the rest of their equipment after they officially closed. He was a great guy. The best deal I ever got in all of audio was an exhibition stock (printed on the box) of an Esot... | |
| Higher Efficiency Speakers fdottore……………………I had a pair of the Von Schweikert VR33 which are the same but with the lesser quality crossover and not set up for bi-wiring. One of the worst speakers I ever owned. I got sucked in by the ad that a 3750.00 speaker sounds as goo... | |
| How good's your hearing Did it ever occur to you people that some people, myself included, do not like the sound of Class D? There is no need for me to give my reasons, I just don't like it and many others feel the same way. | |
| Which amp will cause a larger increase in electric bill? I don't believe those are close to current Class A amps and they probably do draw a lot of current on idle. They are the least efficient of all amps. I had an Odyssey Stratos extreme class AB amp for 5 years which cost about 30.00 a month to run... | |
| How good's your hearing I will probably get flamed, but I agree with you George. I have stated many times of the 5 Class D amps I heard, none of them would make me want to buy them. Course, I'm a Mac guy and like their house sound. I still think they aren't ready for ... | |
| Help- Review on Phono Stage Never heard it but a tube preamp for 400.00, I wouldn't expect much. | |
| Power conditioner , Re-generator.....for Spectral DMA 150 / 180 Power amplifiers Why not try it and judge for yourself? I think Spectral would be best at answering your question. Anything else is just a guess. | |
| 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". | |
| DC Offset Blocker/Killer - where to buy in the USA Did you try either amps at the McIntosh authorized dealer? If it is ok there, then there is a problem with the power line. If it isn’t ok, then the unit is defective. At any rate, your dealer should be bending over backwards for you. If not, I... |
