Mcintosh MVP841 vs Denon 3910?
I have compared the McIntosh DVD playeres to the Denon equivalant over the years and have come to this conclusion.The Mcintosh products do sound somewhat better as they use better D/A convertors and change the clocking and speed of the disc readin... 
Tube Questions - Audio Research Reference 5
I would try switching the tubes left to right and see if the problem follows the tubes. 
Rega Turn Table Hum
I had a similar issue when I had a P25. I found that if I took the ground from the right channel connector and grounded it to a seperate ground it helped. I ended up getting the Incognito tone arm wire which had a seperate ground wire. 
Time Has Come Today-The Chambers Brothers
Docdan50, thanks! I played my copy yesterday and you are right. Very well recorded and great instrumentals. I had forgotten how much I liked when it was new. Gotta love this passion. 
Time Has Come Today-The Chambers Brothers
It was one of the Rock Anthems of it's day. Maybe I'll will dig my copy out this evening, thanks. 
McIntosh MC303 vs MC402 with 501's?
I agree the MX150 seems to be the pinnacle at this point. I wanted to buy one as I had alwasy had Mcintosh. I traded my MX135 in on the Anthem D2v and it seems to be excellent for HT sound. However for 2 Channel it is not a McIntosh replacement. I... 
What about 7"45's anybody still listen to them?
I have a hundred or so but would never play one on my table for fear of the cart slipping and dragging on the felt mat. Whew! I just cringed.. 
Gerry Rafferty dies
I agree tell people how they died. Especially when it related to substance abuse. Maybe one just person will wake up and get control of their life. Maybe just maybe.That in itself should warrant disclosure.We will always disagree on something to q... 
New Lyra Delos wheres the bass?
Did you check your VTA? I ahd a Delos for about 30days and traded it up for the Kleos. But although the Kleos does deliver more bass the Delos wasn't lacking to a point of concern. Not knowing what your previous cart. was, the Lyra is a fairly tal... 
$6 Million Dollar Man?
Tom6897, the popcorn maker is in the 12 million dollar kitchen and is delivered by the butler( 7.00/hour) as needed. And I agree 6 mil. and I would build a new home on 20 acres with a view of the front range in Colorado as well as a couple a great... 
$6 Million Dollar Man?
Elizabeth has the right idea, separate rooms separate systems, separate sounds. But I would have a McIntosh room, just thinking of basking in the glow of all those blue meters...mmmmmcintosh...... 
Kleos Sibilance
Robob, you make the statement "Not sure if was anything I did but I am hearing less of it". I assume you are referring to the sibilance? That is a good indicator that the Kleos is breaking in. I am listing to mine now and I swear it sounds better ... 
$6 Million Dollar Man?
That guy will need a 6 million dollar hearing aid someday! 
Kleos Sibilance
I have had my Kleos on an LP12/Ekos for about 3 months as well. I do notice some sibilance from time to time so I write it off to the recording. One thing I have noticed with this cartridge that I have never really noticed in the past is warm up t... 
McIntosh MC302
They won't list on their website until all the 252's are gone. Basically it is the same topography as the MC252. My understanding from talking to Ron Cornelieus at the show it will have a better power supply and circuitry to make it sound better, ...
