| Ruminations On CD Players I will post the required counter to investing again in a CD player. First, you haven’t posted your system, so I have no idea of the quality, or even if you have a streamer/server, but assuming that you have a good quality streamer/server: Rippin... | |
| Systems comparison What do you want? Do you want your other system to sound warmer? | |
| Systems comparison How would you compare both systems? After all, you’re the one who can listen to them. How do they compare? What are the rooms like? What would you like that you’re not hearing from your present systems? | |
| Apple Music Audio Quality Eversolo DMP-A6 You can purchase this streamer on Amazon and get a 30 day trial period. In other words, you are the best one to answer this question. | |
| Superconducting speakers, are they on the way? Would you be first? Room temperature superconductors and cold fusion seem to pop into the news every few years. Both technologies are desperately needed to complete my newly designed warp drives. | |
| Subwoofer Advice & Therapy :) I ordered my REL subwoofers through a major Internet vendor with a 90 day trial. There must be some creative way to fit a pair of subs in such a large room. You can use the search function to research sub system integration using a pair vs single ... | |
| Any High End Tube Preamps with *gasp tone controls? Pretty tough making bass with such low wattage. When I was running a low wattage 300B SE, I was using an active crossover and 200 watt/channel subwoofers. Now, I’m using 350 watt/channel into 89dB speakers and quality powered subs really made a di... | |
| Any High End Tube Preamps with *gasp tone controls? @dhcod I just looked at your system. Are you using an 8 watt per channel amplifier feeding older speakers? | |
| Any High End Tube Preamps with *gasp tone controls? McIntosh MX 110Z in the house. This thing loves Jazz. Tone controls are nice but maybe not at the most useful frequency? Ok..I’ll bite. What are the most useful frequencies? Jazz is wonderful sounding... Why only jazz? What strengths and we... | |
| How to prevent visitors from touching your system It’s been six weeks since my 17yo started to take her friends into my listening space and so far nobody has touched anything other than the power button on my integrated. My KPop daughter, without my influence, has started to listen to jazz and r... | |
| UPS Driver Literally Drops Package with New Hana Umami Red I’ll state the obvious. You have only witnessed the last time that this UPS box was dropped. | |
| As A Youngster, What Unit Puqued Your Interest In All This? Around 1965 Russel Cohen would invite me over for dinner. His mom was a great cook and his father had a thing for McIntosh. I have no idea what his full system consisted of but I sure remember the sound. I believe he had a Garrard changer and McIn... | |
| Any High End Tube Preamps with *gasp tone controls? I recently started using the 10K tone control on my McIntosh MA12000 to compensate for my hearing loss. I expected the soundstage to collapse, but so far there seems to be only a positive result. The equalizer is easily defeated when my 17yo dau... | |
| Sabrina X Amp Suggestions @audiomaxi I received them and my dealer set them up. The first thing that I noticed was that the sitting position was overly far away from the speakers and when I brought them closer the soundstage improved. Also, when I slumped in my chair, t... | |
| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? It seems that this thread has greatly degenerated over the last few pages of posts. I was hoping to encourage members to post their system. I continue to believe that your system might provide some perspective and vital information when asking f... |
