| Why do McIntosh come with cheap plastic remotes? NATO straps from OMEGA are a lot. Go to Watch Prince- $20! Any NATO strap is really a cheap thing. Some cost a lot, though. | |
| Fuses fuses fuses Al, thanks- I had seen the thread you linked to but only glanced at it.Are any of these aftermarket fuses UL listed and do any manufacturers install these in their gear straight from the factory? | |

| Most aesthetic classic turntable Mikelavigne- OMG- beautiful. The nicest 301 I saw was a Shindo version | |
| Most aesthetic classic turntable I don't think of a table from the 80's as old enough to be a "classic" maybe that's because i am ancient 👍However, I think classic tables, and two come to mind- Garrard 301 and Thorens 124. Throw on an SME arm, and we are done | |
| Magnepan upgrade The OP has to listen the the two Maggie's side by side. I suspect that the 3.7i's will do just about everything better but you may also come away thinking just how good the 1.7's are. I knew someone that considered going to the bigger Maggie's and... | |

I've been settled in without any competent change since 2015, and I have zero desire to change anything. I continue to keep my fingers crosse... | |

| RMS Power? While it's interesting that the term RMS power is a misnomer, it is at least consistent. We are still at least comparing apples to apples. I suspect that's all most consumers care about. As long as I know everyone is using the wrong term in the sa... | |
| More curious than a real question- remote trigger? Anyone use it? I hadn't suggested it affects sound, but I was simply curious about usage. Thanks all! | |
| Fm tuner I've owned the following tuners- Onkyo T9090II, Dynaco FM3, Magnum Dynalab MD105 and McIntosh MR78. I also had an MR71 in my home for a few days but it wasn't working right.The T9090II was the most sensitive, somewhat dry sounding, the FM3 the lea... | |
| More curious than a real question- remote trigger? Anyone use it? "my friend just hooked up his Pass X250.8 and XP-20 that way, and is quite happy with it..."Nice! |
