| I found a way to get around tariffs that will raise the price of audio equipment. @2psyop "How will you avoid the higher costs of audio gear associated with tariffs?" I am in the "buy used" camp anyway these days. Retirement, followed by a global pandemic and then two terms of Cheeto head, have made me somewhat more cautious... | |
| Opinions on McIntosh MHA200? @larsman I did know that. That was my error in not saying that "Best Buy was previously selling them". | |
| Did I just cook my preamp? This an excerpt from the user guide. May have something to do with it. Or not. IMPORTANT: A turntable with a functional cartridge MUST be connected to the MOON 110LP prior to connecting the AC power cord, otherwise you may damage your amplifi... | |
| Opinions on McIntosh MHA200? First time I have heard a supposedly legendary brand brag that their technology is 80 years old. McIntosh certainly knows how to market. There's a reason that Best Buy is selling them. | |
| Oh no, say it ain't so. I am feeling pretty positive about myself. I only answered "yes" to 8 out of 10 questions. One day at a time. | |
| Netting Over Connectors - Do They Help? No comment (although I now need to visit the emergency department to have a doctor reattach my tongue). | |

| 1 meter speaker cables "Am I overthinking this?" Of course you are, but the alternative is worse. Nothing good happens when you underthionk. | |
| How remove odor from interconnect? | |
| Shipping costs- WTF @mickeyb Yikes. Canada Post has prepaid small boxes of various sizes. The largest is 15 3/4 inches x 11 13/16 inches x 7 1/2 inches They ship anywhere in Canada for between $18 to $33 CDN as long as they are under 11 pounds. And they are tari... | |
| Send in the Clowns @ghdprentice "Yep, like reviewing a performance car without driving it. " Or reviewing a restaurant by looking at the menu. | |
| Short in my system? Looked on Amazon and there are a multitude of "grounding mats" that look similar to those anti-fatigue" kitchen mats. The mats have a ground wire attached. And of course, you need to have bare feet. | |
| Score!!! Just Picked up a Pair of "THE best for Beatles" Speakers. Good job. They look gorgeous. | |
| Which manufacturer has the best user manuals? @skucie Don't get me wrong, I loved the D1. I only replaced it because my DDC required USB input and to be fair, there's a comprehensive Lumin user guide available online. |
