| Macintosh C 27 or something newer? I am McIntosh guy.My first Mac was integrated MA5100, after a while I switched to separates with MC 2105 and C26 preamp, beautiful to say the least but I had to get rid of C26 because it had just too much hiss, I am talking about audible hiss that... | |

| SACD Channel Classics produces some of the finest SACD recordings, they are all classical, to hear the difference between theirs and regular CD's a state of art playback system would be required, on garden variety systems they all sound about the same. | |

| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? My DIY JBL-4350 has two 15" woofers, each in a 5 cu. ft. enclosure, for their enclosure I used two layers, 3/4" birch plywood on the outside glued to 3/4" particle board on the inside, that is 1 1/2" total thickness, it is heavy but as solid and r... | |
| JBL everest? Music Direct has the Everests, the price is $75K for a pair, at the same time there are two ads here in Audiogon, both brand new in box with the listed price of a little less than half the Music Direct price. | |
| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? I have been a Mac user for nearly 50 years. Two things that I do not like about McIntosh, one is the excessive weight of their power amps thanks to autoformers, as I am getting older it is a massive effort to lift these little monsters, and the ... | |
| Selling a Macintosh Amplier MC-352 The biggest single obstacle to selling Mac power amps is the potential shipping damage even if the amp is boxed properly using Mac deigned shipping boxes, the problem is the sheer weight/mass of these little monsters and also the very fragile glas... | |
