| Why do Tube Amps sound more romantic v SS amps What is everyone's take on hybrid integrated amps? I traded in an older McIntosh solid state integrated amp for a McIntosh hybrid. The dealer explained that tubes were better for the preamp stage and solid state as for the power output, like get... | |
| BOOKSHELF SPEAKER RECOMMENDATION I read the article offered by hilde45 about the Carrerra's. Very interesting, I'll check it out. Thanks hide45. | |
| BOOKSHELF SPEAKER RECOMMENDATION Thank you gentlemen for your suggestions. Actually, I hadn't considered a sub woofer, don't ask me why. You've given me much to consider. Thank you. | |
| Who is Gonna Buy A New Jeep Grand Wagoneer For the MacIntosh Stereo? I drive a 2019 Subaru Outback and my wife's car was a 2020 Lexus LS350. Both systems sound nice but I don't think I even paid attention to the brand of the sound system - I just wanted CD playing ability. But my fondest memory is my no-name 8-Tr... | |
| Who is Gonna Buy A New Jeep Grand Wagoneer For the MacIntosh Stereo? @larsman "Does it have a tube engine?" was the best line. For me, I wouldn't buy one unless (i) it was Trump endorsed, and (ii) the other cars at a traffic light could hear the deep base booming through the doors.. | |
| Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ +1 for stereo5. Although I detest the Waters personally, I still enjoy "Amused to Death" during those peaceful nights with my favorite stimulant. So he made a little money from my purchase of the CD but I wouldn't waste a penny to go to one of h... | |
| Most underrated female recording artists.. + 1 for Eva Cassidy. and Madeleine Peyroux. Should add Kate Wolf. | |
| Used gear prices and the state of the hobby. So far, I haven't been burned by overpriced used gear. The one case where I felt I paid too much is in the case of the Oppo 205 Universal disc player. When it first came out, I seem to recall it was listed at about $1,200. I opted for the less ... | |
| Does creating a loom in cables in a system make a significant difference? @ tantejuut With the jumble of cables coming from my AC conditioner and CD player to DAC to integrated amp, I find the 90 degree rule impossible to achieve. But as stated in my opening question, my system sounds great notwithstanding the complex ... | |

| Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ Pink Floyd is one of my favorite bands. I have all of their albums since Dark Side of the Moon. I once had a girlfriend who bitterly complained that I played "Wish you Were Here" over and over. I also enjoyed Rogers' solo albums. Politically he i... | |
| Does creating a loom in cables in a system make a significant difference? While I respect the views of those who through personal and in some cases very long positive experience with a cable loom, my ears will probably never discern a difference among high quality elements from different companies. I don't have the Gold... | |
| Does creating a loom in cables in a system make a significant difference? Thanks Guys for your input. I agree with what Charles 1 Dad said. My ears tell me that I'm doing fine. It was an expensive route to get where I am in my present system. My instinct tells me that any increase in SQ by building a loom system with... | |
| What’s Voodoo power cords signature sounding? Keep on drinking that cable Koolade! I wonder if Bourne is an election and Covid denier. | |
| Which ones should I choose? Tannoy Kensington Gr or B&W 804 D4 Tannoy - no contest. I have two different pairs of bookshelf models. They actually sounded better than my older Focal 1027 Electras. One pair - the D-100 (long discontinued) - even has provision for bi-wiring. |
