1st Album you Ever Owned?
Hotel California. I remember my sisters, whom were 10 years older than me,  listening to it and became obsessed with it and could not listen when they left the house so I saved up my allowance for months and my mom took me to buy it on my own. Wor... 
McIntosh MVP891, MVP881, or MCD500, MCD301?

Anyone still waiting? Who was the last person shipped to?  
Oppo 205 guagers selling used units for twice the price...

I have the Mcintosh MC501's and have pushed both the Persona's and the Tekton DI's till the power guard lights on both are blinking at me.  They both stayed clean and clear which is impressive given the fact that most Mac stuff is pushing more tha...
