| What's with website? Wow! Tough crowd. As mentioned the dealers up in here should essentially stay out of forums. Manufacturers should be doing their homework elsewhere. Seems like just a few of them know how to stay neutral regarding their own business interests ... | |
| Difference between McIntosh MR65 and MR65B evanmg 13 years has changed a few things | |
| Law of Accelerated Returns The room acoustics played a huge factor with those setup you perceived as SOTA. You can get your setup reasonably close with room layout /speaker placement. | |
| Help me solve another speaker hum thread :) "Sonus Faber Aida’s with 2x McIntosh MC901 monoblocks." Con$iderable investment there... Noticeable hum at ANY level except at neurotic audiophool distance(press ear against the speaker) would not be acceptable IMO. Get your dealer involved, h... | |
| External phono stage for Luxman 509x A no brainer- Luxman EQ500 or 250 if you're not as serious about LP playback. http://www.luxman.com/product/detail.php?id=6 | |

| Howard's top 3 Rock albums "monks black monk time." WAY ahead of their time. Topic is comment on Howards picks. | |
| Power regeneration - good idea? PS audio? PP's are something to put on the list after you're convinced you did all the baseline essentials to dialing in SQ. Dedicated line/decent receptacle before considering all the other madness. Your alternative choice is "power conditioning" or what... | |
| Power regeneration - good idea? PS audio? "Also since the P 15 is being used to re-create an electrical signal why would there be a need to attach it to the wall with a very expensive power cable?" Definitely any "audio mystery" as to why we PP users get the fancy cable to power it. I h... | |
| Cleaning Your Turntable I'm a thrill seeker. Accessory brush attached to hose on the vacuum cleaner. It appears to loook a disaster waiting to happen, but just a little added awareness while is necessary. For advanced audiophools only. "We all know how sensitive the T... | |
| High end cartridge Include the Audio Technica ART9 for the $1K MC cartridge catagory. Search the archives to see all the praise from the users(including myself) and how it performs well above its price point. The AT OC9 series(a step down the line) is also worth a... | |
| Proposal: I'll contribute my amp suggestion to the unneeded car audio forum thread Milbert vacuum tube car amps https://milbert.com/ I heard a full setup years ago, and was blown away by the performance. I don't mean silly loud, thumping but convincing ... |
