| 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... | |
| McIntosh C2300 vs C2500/C2600 A/B Comparison I think I remember reading your post about the C50 vs C2300 in the past. I also think we chatted before.Thank you! I'll be staying in this weekend listening to music and watching TV.Be safe everyone! | |
| McIntosh C2300 vs C2500/C2600 A/B Comparison Thanks again for all the help. I did not pull the trigger on the C2500. I rolled some smooth plate Telefunken tubes in the MM and Line Stage of my C2300 and the sound is very lush and sweet. I own McIntosh XRT-28's and the highs can get a little t... | |
| McIntosh C2300 vs C2500/C2600 A/B Comparison Thanks again!I'm going to roll some tubes as well before pulling the trigger on trying the 2500. | |
| McIntosh C2300 vs C2500/C2600 A/B Comparison Thank you stereo5,Even though it's hard to describe sounds, in what way does it present music differently than the 2300? | |
| McIntosh C2300 vs C2500/C2600 A/B Comparison Thanks for the input!That's the problem... The C2500 is not nearby, so it means buying it and trying it. I think it may be too much of a hassle and truthfully I kind of like that the C2300 is pure analog without the extra DAC features. | |
| McIntosh C45 - A truly hidden gem? Hi utep10,I was commenting on the phono and line stage of both. I tried the DAC on both but my main usage is CD using unbalanced line in and Phono using the MM input.If I may ad - I have since upgraded to a C2300 (giving it a second and better cha... |
