| UPS Driver Literally Drops Package with New Hana Umami Red I did deliveries for Amazon and holiday help for UPS for a short amount of time. In both places at training, they always ask you to "treat every package like it's your own." I guess not many of the drivers follow that rule. | |
| Bad news for home theater enthusiasts @nonoise You hit the nail on the head. Cable Internet infrastructure is the main problem in the United States. Most cable companies operate on physical cables that are 40+ years old and just cannot deliver higher speed Internet. It should have ... | |
| You've run some pretty fancy MC's, but the _______ MM cartridge really impressed me Ortofon 2m Black did it for me. | |
| Stereo or monoblocks I have a C2300 that I'm running with MC601 mono blocks. I had an MC352 before, and the difference is there but it's not day and night. Like someone else said - it's very subtle. The reason I upgraded other than that subtle difference, is the desig... | |
| Beatles vs. Stones Depending what days of the week it is... Both are great and I love both. | |
| Upgrade to McIntosh @jeffreyw I second what you said. I'm running a C2300 with MC601's and I get wonderful, warm tube sound with lots of bass. I also have an MC275 in my system and I can switch between the 601's and the 275, and the difference between the SS amps a... | |
| Do You Play Or Save Your Best Cartridges If I have it, I use it. If I love it, I'll buy another one to replace the current one when it's done. | |

| Solid state to tube @decooney I agree. I also have a tube amp and I switch between that and the SS every now and then, but the tube amp is used mostly for jazz and softer music. I had it the other way too, SS pre and tube amp, and the tube amp softened the SS hars... | |
| Solid state to tube @winoguy17 I agree with you. I switched my SS pre amp to a tube one, and I love the result. In my system I get the lush, smooth tube sound, with the power and control of SS amps. | |
| Best sounding CD player I love my McIntosh MVP871. To my ears it's very musical. | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? I don't mind sharing that information, depending on who's asking. I read once that you're considered an audiophile when your system costs more than your car, so when I bought my recent car (which city a little more than my system) I had to upgrad... | |
| Why do so many sellers take offense to offers on their listings? Some sellers are great to deal with, and some are plain rude. In my opinion offers that are about 30% off the asking price are fair, and we can negotiate from there (both as a seller and a buyer.) One of the smoothest transactions I've ever had o... | |
| Who is Gonna Buy A New Jeep Grand Wagoneer For the MacIntosh Stereo? The only reliable part of the Jeep Grand Wagoner now IS the McIntosh system. Then again... If Jeep put it together... Maybe not. The dealership's mechanics will enjoy premium sound while your Jeep is in the shop :-) | |
| Fraud /SCAM There are a lot of scams lately on audiogon. When the price is too good to be true, it's probably not true. As well as sellers with accounts that were opened the same month as the listing. I do my best to flag those when I see them. |
