| MHA200 headphone amp. McIntosh failed mel @overthemoon I have been a Mac owner for nearly 50 years. That’s all I buy. See my virtual system. I’ve never been disappointed in any way. @tonykay My local dealer has been in business since 1977. I made my first purchase from him in 1978... | |
| Changing Of The Guard at McIntosh I have been a Mac loyalist for nearly 50 years. (See my virtual system). The gear shown was purchased in 2009. It's been flawless and I have loved every minute of time spent listening to it. 10 days ago I tried to contact tech support via the webs... | |
| Breaking in Blue Jean/Canare 4S11G speaker cable I am running the Canare 4S11G cable as well. I have a 5.2 HT setup with a few long runs (one is 40 ft!) so I made the cables myself with components from Performance Audio. Bananas on both ends. I had old Monster Cable that wasn’t very good to begi... | |
| I’m lost. Help me find my way Well I have found my way and I have made my decision. I visited my local McIntosh dealer a few days ago to order the McIntosh MHA200 headphone amplifier. As I have said throughout this thread, I’m a Mac loyalist and this was pretty much a foregon... | |
| I’m lost. Help me find my way @tarayfield @brauser Thanks for the tips. I am auditioning the Grado line tomorrow. If not happy I will try the Sennheiser and Audioquest recommendations. The trick will be finding locations for that. Not many hifi dealers here in Milwaukee, ... | |
| I’m lost. Help me find my way @mapman Thanks for the tips. I’m really not all that familiar with Roon. I guess I need to do some homework. | |
| I’m lost. Help me find my way @ghdprentice I have looked at your HP setup on the virtual systems page. Wow! But I’m afraid $6,500 for an amp is out of range for me. I’m going to audition the Grado’s on Thursday so I’m excited about that! A Mac amp for me is almost an auto... | |
| I’m lost. Help me find my way @dynacohum Yes I have read that some feel the Grado’s are bright. I must audition! @soix I was thinking the same thing about the cost disparity between the amp and phones. I’m a Mac guy all the way. But I guess if it sounds great, what does i... | |
| I’m lost. Help me find my way @oddiofyl Yes I am planning to visit my dealer to audition the phones later this week. Unfortunately he doesn’t have the amp in stock. But I an a McIntosh owner of a wide range of gear for 45 years. I’ve never been disappointed. I’ll be listenin... | |
| Yes, I ordered a pair..... 750 hours for burn in? Geez. I might be dead before that. I’m serious. I’m approaching 70 at warp speed and not in the greatest of health. I want to buy a HP setup but I’ll need things that are at their best a lot quicker! | |
| What headphone and amplifier for classical enthusiast I’m in the same spot as the IP. My system is on the virtual page. I’m completely lost as to what I should do. I’m not afraid to spend money on this. But under $5k is the budget max. Much less would be preferred. | |
| Legacy Audio Studio HD Bookshelf Speakers vs ProAc Tablette I have a pair of Legacy Studios that. Use as surround speakers in my 5.2 system. I chose them because all of my other speakers are Legacy Whispers, Marquis, Foundation. They all match up perfectly. They can really kick it! I love them. I know t... | |
| Need Opinions for Streamer/DAC [One Box - Not Separates] Budget Approx. $ 5,000 I have had my Atoll MS120 for about 3 months or so. I absolutely love it. It seems to fit all your requirements. $1,600 at time of purchase. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Rick Wakeman: Journey To The Center Of The Earth. Crank it up! ELP: Tarkus. Totally jammin! I guess today is my old keyboard music day. | |
| Changing Of The Guard at McIntosh No surprise with this change at Mac. As noted above, it’s pretty much the standard business model for this kind of acquisition. And it’s not necessarily a bad thing. Only time will tell. I have been a McIntosh owner for 50+ years. (See my virtual ... |
