My SACD Transport feeds so much better signal to my DAC compared with streaming end...
I have a Denon DVD A-110 SACD player which sounds amazing thru my McIntosh amp. I cannot imagine an external dac making an improvement..The 24 but remastered redbooks are good the new SHM CD's better and the SACD's optimal.  
Whats playing on your system today?
SACD 's this evening.  Volunteer's by Jefferson Airplane then If I Could Only Remember My Name by David Crosby now my classic rock FM station with my McIntosh MR-71 tube tuner   
Changing Of The Guard at McIntosh
I have a Bose radio , overpriced and just so-so . They are mostly a speaker company nothing like the grand McIntosh. This is to me quite a disappointment. You know they forced Charlie out.Probably make all our Mac stuff more valuable now I've a M... 
Remastered CDs, HDCDs, SACDs
I think George Marino and Ted Jensen at Sterling sound did some great 24 but redbook remasters. With a couple of exceptions all the HDCD's I've seen are from 1999-2002 during their hay day but the format never really took off. Not aware of any tha... 
Speakers "Too Big" for room
I'm not as technical as most of you guys but I agree with Mapman. My L.R. is about 16'X14' and would love to have a pair of JBL L-300's or 4333's but it just doesn't seem like the room's big enough for them. So I have JBL L-100T's with updated cro... 
What A Drag It Is Getting Old
Airplane       Leslie Nielsen asks the stewardess when do we land. She says I can't tell. He says you can tell me I'm a doctor. LOL  
Crossover and Wiring Upgrade
Hello. Not sure which speakers you have but share my personal experience. I have a pair of JBL L100T's purchased new in '87. They were always just a tad bright on the high's but certainly listenable. Noticed this guy on eBay called the crossover c... 
Ozzie Ozbourne is Dead
Some great responses here except one , there's always one in the crowd isn't there? Rock on Ozzy . g.b.  
Your opinions on the Polk R700 speakers
I think soix is on the right track , I'd get them reconditioned.  
CD's or Vinyl?
I cannot imagine a record sounding as good as a SACD on a high end player. Most of these newer SHM CD's are great too. The 24 bit remastered Redbooks also. Gave up vinyl 40 years ago.  
Local pickup for speakers - should I let the buyer in the house or use the the garage?
kerrybh has the right idea. There's post's here from dreamers and realists I am the latter. A good con man can fool anyone. Have a couple guys there with you , if you don't know anyone hire them easy to do and have a pistol racked and ready hidden... 
Is AI going to kill Hifi?
I don't like anything about this AI. To me it seems sinister somehow. Now I did watch a lot of science fiction films as a kid.  
How old is too old?
At 79 and still kickin' real good I find the comments from these young squirts who'll be lucky to make it this far offensive. Not sure what you want to spend but 2 years ago I bought a Denon DVD A-110 SACD player. Retail was $3500 I got a deal on ... 
Audio influencers on YouTube hiding comments from public view
I've never had any interest in those influencers type   
lightning storm
HAHA 😆 😅. Be careful with that back around 1998 when the strip protectors weren't so good a lightening storm fryed the transformer in my Kenwood receiver and no parts available so it was done. I did find a replacement on eBay for $475 I think it w...
