White Van Speakers ?
I hadn't heard of these guys in years. But I remember my next door neighbor about 20yrs or so ago got suckered into buying a pair. I had just sold a pair of JBL L50's and he wanted them but offered me about a third of what I sold them for. He kept... 
Ed Cassidy of Spirit is dead
That is sad news. I love Spirit as well. I thought I had read that they were planning a reunion tour. Never heard any more about it. But I suppose it is off the table now. My sympathy's to his family. 
Do you ever just listen to music
If not then I have wasted a ton of money for nothing. I only regret that I can't either afford or find all the music I want to hear again. 
Price paid for top end equipment
Some dealers feel that they provide a level of service that is only offered at full suggested retail. Rather than see the value in a customer, especially if they are repeatedly buying there. I understand and agree that a good profit is required to... 
Dealer selling B stock doesn't tell customers
I doubt that it is an industry standard but any "B" stock I have ever seen is marked on the box. And some will have a warranty "B"stock addendum enclosed. To address the posters concern, I would concur that it should be disclosed at time of the tr... 
Made in America
I also prefer made in American products, however have settled for made in china or chinese parts for American companies. But do prefer beyond the name plate, the sound of American Company's products. My Revels speakers have Chinese made cabinets, ... 
Replacement meters for Mcintosh MC2125
Contact audioclassics.com they may either have some replacements or a proper substitute. 
Hook up Plasma TV to Audio system
Looking at the TAD 150 on line it appears to be two channel only. You can buy a Radio SHack DAC (1500093) for 39.95 and it will give you the option of Toslink or Coax to stereo RCA output. I use it for my wireless headphones in my office and it do... 
Best alcohol for party?
Night Express, Annie Green Springs, Boones Farm Strawberry Hill, and a Bottle of Old Viejo. Oh and don't forget plenty of barf bags:) 
Is McIntosh really Hi-Fi, finally MC452
Sorry I mis understood your question. My personal opinion on the MC402 I presently own is that of improvement over the MC352 I traded for it, ans assume the MC452 will add even more. I feel that the McIntosh amps with autoformers have characterist... 
Is McIntosh really Hi-Fi, finally MC452
As a long time McIntosh owner, I can say that if you like the McIntosh approach to sound reproduction, yes it is high end. If you feel that they are lacking in certain areas of music reproduction then maybe they don't fit the bill. There are many ... 
Any Mark Knopfler Fans Out There?
I gotta go thumbs down of this one as well. I get the feeling that MK was pushed to make a 2 disc release and just didn't have the depth to do so. There are a few good tracks and had he picked the best of the two discs and released a single disc. ... 
Revel Performa 3
I have the F32's and center/surrounds that match. I was hoping they would be at RMAF, and if they were I missed them.Unfortuneatly we have no Revel dealers in my immediate area. But I am looking forward to reviews here and published. 
Two McIntosh 275's or Single MC452???
As a long time owner of a MC402 and one who craves a MC452, as I understand it has improved the sound of the 402. I have to propose a question that only you can answer. How do you like the sound of the MC275 in you system now? If you are happy and... 
TT upgrade advice?
I'd consider the Rega RP-3 and a Bias MKII Cart. those total 1065.00 but just about any dealer will drop at least 10% to make a customer.
