| Resolving Hum with Battery Back-up (EcoFlow) vs Power Conditioners: success vs failure @OP. Reducing this to it's simplest, there is something related your mains power that the tube half of your McIntosh amps don't like. In general valve (tube) amps are more susceptible to hum issues. The fact that modern tubes are generally less w... | |
| In-Room responce measurement with Legacy Focus SE speakers @amtprod - if I wasn't on the other side of the Atlantic, I'd come over and do it for you :)) As the old saying goes, big room, big problems. | |
| In-Room responce measurement with Legacy Focus SE speakers @OP Nice place to record in with that reverb. Not so good for listening. | |
| Qualities Of An End-game System The last time I shut my mind down was when the dentist filled me full of diazepam. Personally, I prefer to be conscious when I'm listening to music. | |

| Help with XLR ICs. Thanks Tattooedtrackman. It's very useful to have your listening impressions versus your previous cables. It's always useful when people provide a comparative perspective. | |
| Help with XLR ICs. @tattooedtrackman - that's interesting to hear of your experience of Shunyata versus Dragon in power cords. That's a comparison I haven't done personally. | |
| Help with XLR ICs. @OP Yes, Thunderbird is also excellent. As to the above post, reputable cable companies like Audoquest have spent decades developing an understanding at a conceptual, objective and subjective level as to why and how cables influence sound quality. | |
| Help with XLR ICs. @OP. It's worth trying AQ FireBird. Over your budget perhaps, but significantly less than Dragon. | |
| Breaking news! Jays Audio is moving to Texas and takes interest in McIntosh I choose all my hi-fi based on the dealer's truck size :(( |
