| Have you seen the new McIntosh poster for $195? @sudnh You need to distinguish between the McIntosh tube amplifiers and solid-state amplifiers. The tube amplifiers are where they shine. The reliability plus the performance is what makes mcintosh tube amplifiers very desirable. Solid-state ... | |
| Where does music come from that streams? Is it possible that the streaming companies may be forced to choose from multiple pricing levels for what they get and in some cases they don't get the premium Quality Recording and pay for a cheaper recording and hope they can get away with it. | |
| Where does music come from that streams? So many versions exist on qobuz of the same album. Frankly I don't know what the record companies sent over. I don't care about the licensing. Tidal crops the top on the bottom of the frequency ranges to do their stupid Mqa crap. Sucks. I wish... | |
| Have you seen the new McIntosh poster for $195? @mtbiker29 Love your basement set up especially the rack and especially the table. Was this from a tree you cut down? | |
| Have you seen the new McIntosh poster for $195? Does this qualify as vintage art? | |
| Have you seen the new McIntosh poster for $195? They call it a light box. This is one of the most ridiculous things I've seen in my entire life. The logo is huge on the front. I like subtle logos Who is the brainchild that figured this out. So they're in a major big-time executive meeting and ... | |
| Have you seen the new McIntosh poster for $195? I was able to pick up several and will now auction them off on eBay. The first one I put up on eBay is now up to $715. I'm sure it'll go higher. I'm gonna make a killing. Maybe I should've waited. But I have so many to sell. Maybe I'll keep them... | |
| Speaker placement Quandary Do you do any DSP curves to measure the sound in your room? Before and after. I don't know too many people who actually do this because those dsp software packages are incredibly difficult to work with. The interfaces are horrifying and then you h... | |
| Speaker placement Quandary I really love the red room light and curious to know how you achieve it. Because it’s getting closer to Christmas maybe you should enhance the room with some green lighting too . My thought is to introduce a few pieces of furniture into the room t... | |
| Tidal or Qobuz tidal uses MQA which really sucks because they crop out some of the upper and lower frequency and compress some of the quality of the sound. It's horrifying to use tidal because of this. Qobuz pure uncompress sound. Although playlists are not so ... | |
| Bacch Dsp, True stereo? @soix I spent time on the website and really tried to understand all the various offerings and also how it fits into my existing System. I had trouble figuring it out. Maybe I'm alone and maybe I'm not as smart as everybody else but it just see... | |
| Bacch Dsp, True stereo? @low325 Thank you for your reply. The only problem I have with all this is that it's so very difficult and confusing to implement. I've heard horror stories from others when trying to work with their current equipment and this Baach stuff. The ... | |
| Why don't they record in ‘surround stereo’? @lynn_olson Yeah I mostly see uncompressed PCM which my NAD processor calls ‘Direct’ and that’s mostly what I see these days. And I’m fine with that. YouTube videos with music tend to be better in stereo as it mangles things when some of the si... | |
| Why don't they record in ‘surround stereo’? Fascinating comments above. I guess another huge obstacle is all the Cable connections would have to be increased coming out of the back of the components if you expand from two channel listening to more channels. Vastly complicating the cabling a... | |
| Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ? @mikelavigne This is a very thoughtful response and have to read it very carefully. Hoping I can learn something. Yes I Believe you have an extremely awesome, very extremely awesome, System in a very very beautiful room. You could make a lot of... |
