| What makes a good Hi Fi rack improve your system. Vibration feedback and transmission to the chassis. A good rack can reduce these effects and limit it to airborne vibration and feedback. That said, I have wondered why good isolating feet can't get most of this curtailed. And I say most, as I rea... | |
| Mc C47 or Rotel 1590 You are correct, there is a big difference in price and the reason is Rotel has a conscience and won't charge McIntosh prices for their equipment. And McIntosh can't build their level of quality and performance at Rotel prices. Both brands have ve... | |
| Macintosh MX132 I would send it in to McIntosh or Audioclassics.com, you'd be out a shipping cost and a diagnosis fee. But at 700.00 you will be hard pressed to find a better pre-amp, in my opinion. Call McIntosh first as they may diag it for free. I have had man... | |
| Wilson Audio Sophia 2 or Goldenear Triton 1 For what it is worth, I have heard both at a dealers. I would never have thought to compare the two, they are in totally different leagues, or at least in my opinion. The Wilsons are far superior in musicality, they deliver a much deeper defined b... | |
| how do you select a center channel to match when the company only makes monitor speakers? I have had dealers recommend using a single speaker from same speaker line. I think that makes the most sense as well. Obviously it won't be a traditional center channel speaker, but the voice matching would be, and that is what you're after. I ev... | |

| Why Are There So Many Audio Research Reference 5SE's For Sale I decided to buy a dealers demo REF5se and couldn't be happier with it. I had intended to buy an LS27 or a Modwright 36.5 but decided this would put me in a better place.So yes; I am in a better place. | |
| test I didn't study, will there be a make up test later. | |
| From ARC LS26 to where... Thanks on the Modwright, I do intend to demo the 36.5 and knowing that the power supply can be added influences more investigation. | |
| Your not a serious audiophile I'd you have?????? ....if you think your system is finally complete, and you will never have to buy another item.Zmanastronomy, gotta give you my vote! | |
| From ARC LS26 to where... Thank you for responding dodgealum, as mentioned I want to audition the Modwright, but I think in the end I may wind up staying ARC, I know the LS27 is reaching its production run and would be curious to see what the replacement offers. But again... | |
| Mcintosh mx136 vs Mcintosh Mx150 No argument here. But it seems the gap is narrowing. | |
| Mcintosh mx136 vs Mcintosh Mx150 I am not a 100% sure, but I believe the MX136 was that last Pre-pro to have a true analog in analog out circuit path. My understanding is the MX150 runs everything thru the digital processing to the outputs. I guess the thought is to have all sign... | |
| Seeking to soundproof front door to my apartment What kind of door is it? Is it a panel door? If so those do transmit sound more than a hollow core. You might go to a home center and buy a sheet of styrofoam insulation about 2" thick and add it to the door with double sided tape or Velcro. That ... | |
| VPI 16.5 Low Suction A little more information would be helpful. Does the vacuum seem to laboring indicated by a louder than usual noise? If you place your hand over the tube port with the vacuum on, is there much suction and does it change in sound as you plug the p... |
