| Mcintosh pre amp pricing Most people who buy Macintosh amplifiers and pre-amplifiers just keep them sitting on a shelf if they stop using them. It's a royal pain in the ass to sell used gear and new gear even if you have the old box. If you give it to a dealer as a trade... | |
| Why don't they record in ‘surround stereo’? @dean_palmer That's nice you can listen to stereo and surroundsound and it sounds good. I'm not a big fan of two channel through an AVR. Although maybe it's good for certain AVRs. | |
| What affects front to back depth in room/ system? You need to listen to Diana Krall all the time if you wanna listen to things with sound depth . Most of the time I find it's the quality of recording that makes all the difference in the world despite whatever equipment you have | |

| Ken Fritz article Anyone reading this post thread should probably visit the Ken Fritz virtual system. I spent some time reading through the comments mostly to read what he said. His comments were very generous and detailed and took great interest communicating ... | |
| Upgraded my cables and they transformed my system!!! Quality cables are important but keep in mind I think they all colour the sound and yeah you may notice a change but is the change for the better.

| B&W 805 D4: which 5 channel power amp should I go with (home theater): Parasound or Rotel Mcintosh five channel amplifier would be perfect. I got one and it's plenty of power | |
| Why isn't better quality used gear being made available? If they in good shape it sounds like a good deal. I would offer them $400 to rent them for two days with the balance owed if you keep them. Or just buy them outright. And if you do this I would see if you can look inside them to see if there's an... | |
| Ken Fritz article What an incredibly awful article. What was the purpose of doing this article? I Recall the details of the auction of the system and was horrified. How could his family not enlist the support of the audio community to take great care and do what t... | |

| Is toeing speakers a bad idea? Gotta feel sorry for those people with big speakers that can't move them easily. I put an insulation ceiling acoustical tile beneath the speakers and I can move them around all over the place so much easier. It cost about six dollars for a square ... | |
| Why isn't better quality used gear being made available? @ghdprentice It was a VTL used preamp 7.5 iii and it was in the color I was looking for. This was at a time new amplifiers were, and still are, hard to find and I really wanted it. Don’t see too many of these things coming up used for sale I Se... | |
| Why isn't better quality used gear being made available? I bought a used preamp from a dealer in England on eBay for about $20,000 via credit card. there was a misrepresentation issue and before it was shipped I tried to cancel. It would've been nice to have that preamp. Ebay was extremely helpful an... | |
| McIntosh 2.1kw amplifier? @laaudionut Lovely system you have, the diffuser panels look really nice and I'm wondering since their coverage is limited do you notice a difference ? I'm debating whether I should install some diffuser panels. Maybe my scattered furniture thr... | |
