| Speaker cables if your amp isn't between your speakers For years I had the amp off to the side. Bought equal length cables. I figured that if I ever wanted to sell the cables, equal length was the way to go | |
| McIntosh MR78 upgrades? So I heard from the folks that I brought my MR78 to for recapping. They advise that some of the caps inside are just a few years old, and some are original. Apparently someone tinkered around inside several years back. I'm told the work was neat a... | |
| Thoughts on my Sim Moon 260D CD player Of the transports you list I've only heard the neo 260d which is excellent and is what I presently have I'm using it with a Bricasti M1 DAC and am thrilled by my digital playback. Best CD playback I ever had in my home | |
| Time for dedicated outlets! I guess I got lucky. I paid an electrician and he did exactly what I asked for. Still, definitely worth every penny I spent. | |
| Time for dedicated outlets! 10 gauge home run to the box with 20 amp breaker. That's what you tell the electrician when i I owned by own home, putting ina dedicated line was the best investment I ever made in my audio system. I spent $125 plus the cost of an outlet. | |
| McIntosh MR78 upgrades? Decided not to go the Audio Classics route. Selectivity is not an issue where I live and and I only have a handful of stations worth grabbing. Given that, I'm doing the recap and alignment and easily saving $600 in the process. That's solid $ to s... | |
| I will travell to New York, would be glad to meet members I have to agree with Schubert about the beauty of NY. I'm fortunate to now live in the Hudson Valley. Love the Adirondaks and Finger Lakes. | |
| McIntosh MR78 upgrades? Kenny, you're right, and part of my issue is that in my area I really have only 2 stations that sound good. So I truly question whether the full blown mod is worth the money vs just recapping the damned thing. | |
| McIntosh MR78 upgrades? Kenny- thanks! Interesting. Wonder how it tested before the mod! I used to have a magnum dynalab tuner that that went through a factory upgrade at about $800 and I doubt I could hear a difference. I did discover that one of my panel lights- a "fes... | |
| Focal Sopra 2 vs Sopra 3? I auditioned the 2's and so wanted to like them. I didn't. I actually liked the Sopra 1's better as I thought they were better balanced. So did I buy the Sopra 1's? Well, no. I also listened to the Wilson Sabrina which I though were quite good. I ... | |
| Expectations for warranty repair timing photon46 said- "You are so right lousyreeds1, a little communication would go a long way in these matters. It never ceases to amaze me how poorly so many companies perform with regard to keeping customers informed about the status of orders, rep... | |
| Expectations for warranty repair timing Depends on the company. In two instances I've had my gear back from repair inside of a week. That was exceptional. Once I brought a preamp direct to the manufacturer over my lunch break. They corrected an issue while I waited. Other repairs were b... | |
| Wife trouble As someone who has got through separation then divorce, I'm here to tell you the equipment is an excuse. There's much more on her plate. | |
| strengths and weaknesses Heard them both. I liked the Olympica 3's much better. Seems better balanced. | |
| Speaker Jumpers WITH Bars??? - Jumper Using Silver Coins?? Dimes and quarters in general circulation minted through1964 were 90% silver. 1965 onward dimes and quarters had no silver. Half dollars went to 40% silver from 1965 onward and then silver was dropped altogether. I would imagine using a 90% silver... |
