| Subwoofers? Gunbei, I am running the sub only through the X30, the speakers are direct from pre/pro to amp. I have looked at the new Digital Velodyne system but am waiting to get a proper demo. They claim it is the "everything" sub if you get a chance look at... | |
| Subwoofers? jdombrow, did you purchase a sub yet??????? | |
| Subwoofers? Plato thanks for the advise I have tried numberous adjustments to the X30 furnished with the servo. I am really limited on sub location, I could rotate it if you feel that may be beneficial. Have you ever tried another crossover? I have listened t... | |
| Classic McIntosh sound? As a Mc owner I can only say that the "classic mcintosh sound" is a warmer, detailed and accurate sound. There are better products "sonically" but none better dependability and build than a mcintosh. look on the mcintoshlabs.com website for review... | |
| New to vinyl, which turntable, etc? the music hall tables are ok but have many limitations for down the road upgrading. I would start with a P3 and cheap cartridge or P2 and cheap cartridge and you you grow to appreciate the sonic reality that only vinyl can deliver. The upgrade the... | |
| Infinity Kappa 9's Tweaks? I have a pair of Kappa 7's and have had for years. I always ahd the issue of the "screaming at me" and although the emits are accurite and quick they can as you say fatigue you. First off Kappas love power. I started out with a Yamaha M85 Amp with... | |

Most TV coax is a copper core and will be somewhat slower and with a length of 50 feet you will undoubtedly experience clocking issues. Yo... | |
| Power cord suggestions for a McIntosh MC162 I have a MC352 and a MC7205 and am using Harmonic Tech ACIIand have received good results. The best thing that I did though is have an electrictian run a dedicated 20 amp circuit. I think you may be best served in doing that before you replace the... | |

| Reliability Problem with Linn Genki? I have never heard of this with any Linn. I was going to purchase the Genki but bought the Ikemi instead and no problems at all. I would contact Linn in florida since they fixed it 3 mos. ago maybe they offer a warranty on the work they do. If not... | |
| DirecTV access cards Dragon is right on with the reason they will do this about every 6 years give or take. It is a security issue. Through away the old card. It will fail in short while. | |
| Cable Distances If you decide to use speaker cable in the long run, make sure it is as nuetral as you can find. I personnally dis-agree with running the interconnect over that long of a run as it may introduce interference to the amps. I am not debating with Sids... |
