| Sota or Technics Technics all the way. I own a 1200G because I found a great deal on it. I did consider the GR before the G popped up. It will last forever, it's always ready to work, in my opinion it's gorgeous to look at and most important - it sounds amazing. V... | |
| Paying with a cashiers check? Need advice! I wouldn't do it. I would pay the paypal fees but I wouldn't do it. I actually paid once with a cashier's check and the transaction worked really well, but the only reason I did it was that my best friend lived in the same city. I at least knew so... | |
| Audio Lessons Learned - post your best advice for the newer members! 1. Take all reviews with a grain of salt. Too many times I've read praising reviews of some items and when I tried them I didn't see what all the fuss is about.2. Invest in solid cables. Not necessarily super high dollar ones, but not the single d... | |
| Why so many angry audiophiles? Too many smartasses with nasty comments on this site. It's getting a little old. | |
| Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog? In my opinion some CDs sound better than vinyl records and some records sound better than CDs. It's easier to get a great sound from CDs without breaking the bank. It's not the same with vinyl. Bottom line for me, it's all about the music. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Jeff Lynne, "Armchair Theatre" | |

| How I'd spend money given no limits First of all I'd buy a bigger house that will fit my current system better.Then I'd create a dedicated music room and a dedicated media room.Like other people mentioned - I'd install dedicated lines for the power.Equipment-wise? I'm finally happy ... | |
| Why is black so popular for components? It goes great with McIntosh blue meters ;-) | |
| How do I pay? The only time I ever paid with a cashier's check was to someone with a lot of feedback, who lives in a city where I have good friend who's be able to track that person down if we need to. And I spoke to him on the phone many times. I wouldn't do it. | |
| What's the best and/or favorite piece of equipment you've owned? And do you still own it? My McIntosh XRT 28 speakers. They’re never leaving my system. I just love their sound and looks.Another piece I’ve had for a long time is a Pioneer VSX 505S (bought in 1996 for $320). It’s not high end, but it’s my daily home office receiver that’... | |
| 1st Album you Ever Owned? Sting, "The Dream Of The Blue Turtles." I was 10. I still have it. | |
| Frustrated McIntosh Owner 1st. World. Problems. Seriously? So you wait a couple of months, big deal. Pearl Jam have delayed their tour last March and haven't announced a new date yet. So what?I'll wait and see them when it's possible. | |
| Your vote for greatest (covers) album Abba-esque EP by Erasure really jumps first in my mind. Covering 4 ABBA songs and making it completely theirs. | |
| Most recordings you own by a single artist, group, or composer Between CDs, SACDs and albums - I have over 200 Bob Dylan pieces. Every single official release (sans maybe a few recent compilations) including studio, live and all the bootleg series sets. My favorite album is "Blood on the tracks."I've seen him... |
