IF you actually have this system and IF you have 3000 LP's, then the answer is easy. Your brain is the weakest link. Do you even listen to your system?
My System's Weakest Link - What Say You...
First off, McIntosh bashers need not respond. The synergy of this system is outstanding.
I think I have my system pretty well fleshed out now, and love what it is doing for me. But, I have my eye on my weak link. I have a few thoughts, but I'm Interested in objective, and somewhat random comments from some insightful folks here.
My Habits: Love listening to vinyl most of all. Don't know exactly but have over 3000 LP, I think, and keep getting more. Obviously do lots of streaming too via Tidal > Roon. Also on thousands of CDs of varying quality.
My Room: Open main floor Floor plan to the kitchen and formal dining room. Open space has 9 foot ceilings, with fabric chairs and carpeting. No need for any room enhancement identified. Still sounds great. Lucked out on that one.
Anyway, where is what I have:
"Long haired, freaky people, need not apply" or dismiss my enjoyment of McIntosh. [btw - anyone remember that song quote?]
