| is buying used Mcintosh equipment online bad idea? Theo,Thanks for the tip on using softer feet. I suspected the power supply all along but never did anything about it. I'll try the softer feet. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Tbg, you're entitled to your opinion, and clearly you have one, but a properly set up pair of ML CLX speakers disappear, not physically (of course) but you get the idea. For me, newer Quads can do the same thing. Electrostats can't move the same a... | |
| Great, Physically Unobtrusive High-end Speakers? Ps,You'll get lots of responses on this post but for my money, check out the Sonus Faber line of stand-mounted loudspeakers. I own a vintage pair of SF Electa Amators (with the Dynaudio Esotar tweeter) and I have never regretted buying them new ba... | |
| "New" Beatles Mono Catalog Release on 180gr Vinyl Slaw,"Revolver" may be my favorite Beatles title. Your comment that the soundstage is "closed in" worries me a little. Did you use a dedicated mono cartridge or stereo? | |
| Stax hook up question I saw that Stax 006T/404 combo and almost bought it as a backup for my T1/Signature Stax setup. Congratulations to you! If this is your first Stax headphone, you are in for a treat. Hookup is easy, just look for line level output. I recommend conn... | |
| for any bluegrass fans... "Hardly Strictly Bluegrass" festival in San Francisco this weekend. Just FYI for bluegrass fans. | |
| Album which you have listened to most? I can't name just one. There are several: Cat Stevens' "Tea for the Tillerman"; Bob Dylan's "Blood on the Tracks": Joni Mitchell's "Court and Spark"; James Taylor's "Sweet Baby James"; Jethro Tull's "Thick as a Brick"; and many others. I bet you c... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? On Thursday night, we saw Gordon Lightfoot give his first San Francisco concert in 30 years. Great concert! What took so long? | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Martin Logan CLX. Once the music started the speakers disappeared, much like Quads. | |
| Great films where music is a central theme. "Harold and Maude" A great Cat Stevens soundtrack. | |
| Taralabs cables I like my Tara Labs cables but the number of responses to this thread is ridiculous! Tara Labs should be proud to have Audiolabyrinth as their spokesperson. He deserves an award for keeping this thread alive. | |
| I would love some suggestions on great acoustic... I saw Gordon Lightfoot live in San Francisco the other night and I'm reminded how much I like his music. What a great body of work! Your description of "flowing and melodic" is his style in a nutshell. | |
| Goldmund Studio - still relevant today? 20+ years ago I found a dealer with two Goldmund tables for sale-a Studio and a Studietto. The dealer offered me either one for $1,000. The Studio had a modded power supply, and the Studietto was stock. I chose the Studietto, my mistake. I sold it... | |
| Learning from him No more coffee for this guy!! But seriously, isn't there a filter for this sort of thing? This belongs on some other forum, or maybe not. | |
| is buying used Mcintosh equipment online bad idea? Buying anything used is a gamble, even McIntosh. I have three Mac pieces in my history. The first, an MX-130 preamp (bought on Audiogon) arrived with a low-level hum that does not come through the speakers. The seller included a McIntosh UR12 touc... |
