| Disappointing On Mcintosh......help Upgraded my C45 to C49 pre and Harbeth SHL5 to McIntosh XR100 speakers played with MC352 amp. Really thought I was going to buy the Harbeth 40.2's but thought I would try the Mc's first to save money. I bought them with 2 months to try them out ... | |
| [help] I'm too Boomer to stream. :-( Sorry but I have not read all the posts. Go buy an external hard drive and copy all your files to it, then plug it in to the USB on the 2i. Open the app on your phone pick USB and then pick a CD or high res file and enjoy. This way you avoid al... | |
| Turn off atmos for music? You may have an avr that allows you to pick the allowable channels for a given input when you are in setup mode. Check out your avr manual. A final point from me would be if you have a disc player with 5.1 analog out connections and a receiver w... | |
| Turn off atmos for music? It depends on the type and source of the music. When I'm listening to Qobuz through my computer to the AVR (Denon) using HDMI I listen in stereo (2.2). If it's a multichannel DVD, SACD or BlueRay disc from your disc player you are listening to t... | |
| Do you ever do this before you listen? So what "clearing" your ears actually does for me is to help equalize the air pressure on both sides of the ear drum allowing my ears to do a better job of transmitting vibration. You don't have to actually make your ears pop, just push gently an... | |
| Do Blue Dots applied to LP labels improve sound? GB Shaw wrote:People always get tired of one another. I grow tired of myself whenever I am left alone for ten minutes, and I am certain that I am fonder of myself than anyone can be of another person.I grow tired of this site unless I am selling ... | |
| Do Blue Dots applied to LP labels improve sound? If you would like to try a really good tweak in this area go to Mapleshaderecords.com and look up their record weight/clamp system. They use really small triple points on the platter combined with a specialized brass weight and centering system gi... | |
| Component racks Go to Mapleshaderecords.com and get the same info I've made my decisions/purchases from. Did you read the thread Vibration theory: Isolate or Drain? | |
| Component racks Blueskiespbd, I believe that most people in our hobby would disagree with captainoblivious, racks do make a difference. Enclosed cabinets can increase standing waves depending on the location and hardwood sounds better than mdf. Check out the thre... | |
| Vibration Theory - Isolate or Drain? Playpen, The nanomounts are placed (ie. glued) onto the cartridge and then the cartridge is attached to the tonearm. The triple points are on the cart with the single point touching the tonearm (you must not overtighten the cart to the tonearm). T... | |
| Vibration Theory - Isolate or Drain? OK, I support the info from Mapleshade. You drain from the top and you don't stop till you get to the bottom. Every component, every shelf has to work to drain the vibration from the whole and into the floor or you defeat the benefit. If you like ... | |
| portable ipod speakers? There was a write-up for a Sharp unit in Stereophile recently. It got high marks and was very portable. I've used my Logitech Squeezebox Radio for motorcycle trips and it worked out great. It has the added feature of wifi internet radio if you fin... | |
| Rowland Synergy question with Subwoofer in System Unless the second set of mains have a volume control independent from the first set you still won't get what you want. If that is the case you can still use your second set of mains and buy a sub that has it's own remote volume control. There are ... | |
| Component racks You want an open air rack, solid shelves, infinite adjustability, and good looks too. Look at Mapleshade before making a decision.The only test on rack/sound is a comparison to the gear you are using now. I had a Sanus rack with adjustable MFD she... | |
| McIntosh MC303 vs MC402 with 501's? I know Classe is quality gear but is there some reason you are not considering the new MX150 or a MX136 from MC? |
