| "oldskool" tonearms I think economics plays a large part in such decisions. No matter what rung on the financial ladder, it seems we all try to get the best bang for the buck we can afford. For myself, financially, I would love to even be able to afford an SME 3009 I... | |
| Good amp for Altec Iconic's You probably won't get alot of response on Altecs on Agon. But I absolutely love mine, powered by McIntosh MC40 tube monoblocks. Altecs are highly prized by Japanese and other far eastern audiophiles. ALso the SET crowd seems to like the Altec Hi ... | |

| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? Aball, yeah I realize I got really lucky on the Mc's and speakers. I did do alot of looking, talking to people and following up on leads, but it seems to have paid off. I guess it goes to show that a blind squirrel does find an acorn every once in... | |
