| Low Frequency Rumble from TT between songs Are there any quiet records (no rumble) on the lead out groove? | |
| For those that have separate Streamers & DACS I have a 10th gen i7 NUC and iFi Zen with their top power supply..which is still a switching supply (worth the expense). I will be eliminating the NUC’s fan. This feeds a McIntosh MA12000. If I put more money into this chain it will be to upgrade ... | |
| Why Rumble One Side of Album Subwoofer manufacturers do not want to scare you out of buying their product by telling you you have to spend another 3 or 4 thousand dollars in cross overs and wires to get their sub operating right. True, it is partially about the money, but ... | |
| Why Rumble One Side of Album My new speakers (been waiting for five months) are 3db down at 31hz and my subwoofers take care of the lower octave w/o high pass filter. So, I'll start with turning off the subs. | |
| What is your record cleaning regimen? I put a record in the slot nothing happens I have to reset the record in the slot sometimes more than once before it will start up. The record sometimes stops prior to seating on the rollers, so I insert the record and let it stop, then I lift ... | |
| Why Rumble One Side of Album Is it always on the same side? No..not always and sometimes both, but many records are dead silent. | |
| What I've Learned Over 18 Months In Four Easy Steps Significant other temporarily living out of state. All other factors follow. Once you bought a big ticket item, there is a sinking feeling as you realize that without #3 and room treatment, your big investment was for naught. | |
| Sabrina X Anyone Add Subwoofer(s) How many here have suggested listening to your new speakers first? Excellent advice, but after listening to the MA12000 driving the Sabrina X, I decided that I did not want to alter what seemed to me to be an extraordinary speaker. They also ha... | |
| Sabrina X Anyone Add Subwoofer(s) Sabrina X still back ordered, but managed to add a Technics 1200G turntable, Sutherland 20/20 & LPS and a pair of REL s/812s. Working on power outlets, cable and acoustic room treatment. I didn't want the expense of adding a high pass filter... | |
| Sabrina X Amp Suggestions I shopped in reverse in that I purchased a McIntosh MA12000 first and then shopped speakers at McIntosh dealers. I went McIntosh because I wanted good resale value. I liked the idea of an integrated, but after buying what was, for me, a very big ... | |
| MacIntosh Power Amp: What Power Conditioner Can Handle Peaks? I believe that I would want four lines..a mix of 220 and 120. It would require over 100 feet of buried power cables to reach my second garage and then probably add 220 to garage for future electric vehicle..but I prefer V8s..so I'm guessing a sec... | |
| MacIntosh Power Amp: What Power Conditioner Can Handle Peaks? Wow..that is impressive. Do you find an improvement with the power amp plugged into the regenerator vs directly to the wall? I ask because the other advantage is evening out the power load on the house electrical circuit. | |
| Analog vs. digital I have six times more money on the analog side and on my system the analog is more musical with more presence. DSD stored locally is wonderful, but the same material on a good pressing is better..but that assumes that I have the funds to buy the a... | |
| STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES I rejected Tidal because my McIntosh D/A doesn't support MQA, so why pay for inferior sound? But on my system, streaming provides variety, but vinyl supplies the best listening experience. | |
