| McIntosh is now inside a Jeep luxury car. McIntosh is a chuck of Americana (Woodstock, Grateful Dead, etc) as is Jeep. Foreign ownership (Fiat) dilutes this to some degree, but the visuals of "years past" are still pretty impactful. Establishing a connection between the two is pretty goo... | |
| My New Year’s Wish for my fellow audiophiles. Can't think of a better way to start the New Year. Discussions, inquiries, thoughts, expressions and, yes, frustrations on this forum fall into my "Good Problems to Have" categories. Grateful for the opportunity to have the best music the world h... | |
| Indispensable Tool! @nonoise +1 The Ayre disc was one of those things I hadn’t tried due to the fact that it "pegged the needle on my BS meter." Then, after the suggestion of a friend/colleague with "pretty good ears", I decided to give it a try. To my surprise (a... | |
| High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ? It would be interesting to have a survey to gather viewpoints on how we prioritize elements of system building. Since most "mortals" require this OR this decision making, rather than this AND this, it would be nice to gather options on where to p... | |
| What use to burn in power cords? I highly recommend getting an adapter and using a high end foot massager. The Shiatsa mode is by far the most effective. It "exercises" the PC through the critical low frequencies. But, what about the highs? Got a solution there, too: Find a sm... | |
| Anyone listen to Music on a FM tuner anymore? I listen to FM in my "technologically-challenged" 2009 A4 daily driver -- KSHE out of St. Louis.. (This car is soooo old, I even have to push in a clutch and shift the gears myself!!). When I travel out of the region, I often pull in KSHE via Tune... | |
| Why "bookshelf" sspeakers? Limited mass, moderate girth, electro-mechanical acoustic transducers? | |
| Can we contribute I find myself quite often attempting to leverage my experience(s) as a "seasoned audiophile" to help me in my "other life." (I even started a topic on this forum with this title a while back). Now, thanks to you guys, I have even more colorful la... | |
| Why "bookshelf" sspeakers? Reminds me of the study a few years ago that concluded: "DUCT TAPE NOT GOOD ON DUCTS!" So, now: "BOOKSHELF SPEAKERS NOT GOOD ON BOOKSHELVES?" | |
| Why do people like reel to reel players? Let’s face it. Back in "the day" having a cool R2R at home was just about as good as it gets. It represented a perfect storm of the convergence of multiple sensory perceptions that, literally, pegged the needle on the "Wow" meter. We were all ’ga... | |
| "Audiophile" Power Cables: The Greatest Audio Conspiracy Theory of All Time? @mahgister Thanks for the kind comments. Coming from you, I means alot. I’m with you on the importance of acoustics. A "hard sell" sometimes when "other" factors come into play -- particularly when important people in your life put razor wire ar... | |

| A little gift for my fellow audiophiles @soix Thanks for the gift. How did you know what I wanted? So thoughtful. | |
| Robert Plant @n80 Yes, Whole Lotta Love may have gifted us with the best rock vocal of all time!! Christmas morning at my humble dwelling: Readling Hamilton Camp's bio. His transition from folk singer/writer to future endeavors outside of the music world wa... |
