| Top 10 Live Albums I have noticed a bevy of new "live" titles recently released that were recorded by radio stations or are otherwise far from audiophile quality. A slew of Van Halen concerts releases come to mind. One needs to be careful when perusing at your local... | |
| The end of physical media is neigh Do not despair, our future guarantees the longevity of China, the dark web, flea markets, and the guy on the corner wearing a trench coat. | |
| Added a Schiit Freya+ to a Sansui 8080 Rich is correct in his assessment. Placing a current day preamp in front of a vintage integrated is problematic. I would point out that the Freya+ has a signal to noise ratio of around 100 db (very good for a preamp), while the Sansui is around 80... | |
| The HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL Thread Continued Blackfoot opening band. | |
| The HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL Thread Continued Knebworth, in England, in 1985 included UFO, Meatloaf, Scorpions with headliner, Deep Purple. All hard rock bands, with exception of Meatloaf. Deep Purple had 2 sets of tower speakers (array) off stage - in the crowd- and during certain songs move... | |
| McIntosh MC611 vs Parasound JC5 I have been mulling mono blocks over my current class D amp as winter creeps in and my basement listening room requires some heat. The JC5 - an amplifier that is engineered as "dual mono" but can be bridged to feed one speaker seems a bit redunda... | |
| Bose buys McIntosh @bondmanp The best mfg car stereo I had was an Infinity labeled system in a Chrysler Sebring. I believe what made it sound so good was the room - er, interior. A soft top lowered the noise from bouncing around, and when the rag top was down, the... | |
| Bose buys McIntosh There is little doubt that Bose will use their stellar product management team to find ways to reduce the prices of McIntosh gear. Bose currently uses China, Malaysia, and Mexico to manufacture parts and using parts made abroad to utilize in McI... | |

| Ideas for low cost amplifiers with gain control I ran two pairs of Martin Logan speakers (Motions) for years, each pair powered by individual NAD amplifiers - the NAD C298 and the NAD 275BEE when I last had my basement bar room setup with multiple speakers (for two channel listening). Before ... | |
| HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SYSTEM IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS Also a big fan of Dire Straits and Mark's creations due to the fact that there is silence (blackness) between notes and large swings of sound that do no overwhelm the listener, but actually draws you in. IMHO, Money For Nothing deviated a bit from... | |
| Need Opinions for Different Cable Manufacturers/Cable Designs Surprised that no one has even suggested using a McIntosh cable when you are using McIntosh equipment. I use a pair of cables from McIntosh to alleviate some perceived brightness between my preamp and amp. They are readily available on Crutchfield... | |
| Greg Kihn @larsman Yeah, my bad. Growing up in the 80's, I assumed he was from SoCal..for whatever reason. While his music got a fair amount of airplay, there was not a whole lot of ink devoted to him on the east coast. Just for fun, I looked up his conce... | |
| Greg Kihn Was a big fan of Greg Kihn. Kinda odd that a southern California boy wrote a song about a Madison Avenue man, but still know most of the lyrics. Certainly an icon for CA but he was popular in PA back in the day. |
