| McIntosh MA12000 is it worth upgrading to. I have the C2800 and the DA2 DAC it comes with is really quite good. | |
| Integrated that blew you away @hgeifman Thanks. Do you have any comments on your Gato AMP-150AE integrated amp? Who did you purchase it from? Thanks. I purchased it from a local dealer. It's a very clear sounding amp, I guess you could call it neutral and never harsh i... | |
| Integrated that blew you away I like my Gato AMP-150AE. | |
| Has McIntosh Ever Decreased Prices (on new equipment)? You can get a deal through a dealer, I traded some gear in and got a great price on a new Mc pre. I paid cash though. | |
| Are streamers digitally enhanced? To me it doesn't matter as long as it sounds good. I've never heard a high-end streamer so I'm not sure what I'm missing. | |
| DAC 'Scam' Vid Seems to me the benefits of higher dollar DACs are found in the analog conversion side and the power supply circuit. | |
| LAIV Harmony @lak I'm looking forward to their streamer... kinda surprised it's not out yet. | |
| GaN FET Amps vs. Traditional Class D Amps Orchard Audio has terrific Gan amps, I think the tech has really evolved into something quite remarkable. | |
| Chinese DAC's @perkri You didn’t answer my question. How much inventory should she have purchased? Enough for 3 months, 6 months, a year or two years? I can't answer that, I don't know her business. I would do 90 days and go from there. She raises her pri... | |
| Chinese DAC's @dgarretson I have met Eveanna Manley and she is neither stupid nor an "activist. I didn't say she was stupid, I'm sure she's very intelligent. However, her speech tells me she's overly emotional, if not, a low-key political activist. ""we ar... | |
| Chinese DAC's @perkri So, should she have stocked parts for 3 months, 6 months, a year, two years worth of production? The, up until recently, stable global supply chain, means people don’t keep big inventories of parts. Real time logistics and shipping ... | |
| Chinese DAC's we are all getting F@cked by the F'ELON. She's an activist. We knew tariffs were coming and she could have prepared. It's not going to last forever. | |
| What Meatloaf and Beer Have Taught me about Audiophiles @gano I never had a good meatloaf in restaurants. Homemade, yes. Same experience, I wonder why they can't get it right but when I make it at home, it's always fantastic. | |
| Need advice from the gurus. Quick update, I just picked up a McIntosh C2800 - got a great deal on a new one from my local dealer. I did a few song demos and it sounded fantastic but they had it going through some high-end Focals so that’s a given. I can hopefully cross the... | |
| Need advice from the gurus. @jeffbij Do you think there is any appreciable difference between a true balanced circuit and Gato’s implementation? I assume as long as the circuits are well designed it should be good regardless. |
