| Long Run of Speaker Cabling I made up my own cables using the Canare OFC 4S11 wire. I run a 5.1 system and also have very long runs due to the location of my electronics. In fact, the run to one of the surround speakers is about 40 feet! 150 feet of cable in total for the f... | |
| Legacy Audio has a new owner @charles007100 No not a dealbreaker for me. I just need to get over the fact that things will cost more buying through a dealer. And as pointed out above by @shooter41 there’s sure to be dealers that will discount to some level. I just need ... | |
| Legacy Audio has a new owner @thecarpathian Thanks for the props on my system. I appreciate it. | |
| Legacy Audio has a new owner @thecarpathian I was told that they have a new owner by their head of sales in a conversation earlier today. | |
| Streamer Options Needed I recently bought an Atoll MS120 streamer. I run it through my McIntosh MX122 AV processor/preamp. I love it! It has a screen and full function remote control standard. But I bought a $75 generic tablet that I use as a touch screen remote to run ... | |
| CD's or Vinyl? I’m CD’s all the way. I sold my TT and records decades ago. While I have occasionally been tempted to go back to vinyl, it would just cost way too much. I don’t have even one record. And I have added a streamer to my 2,000 CD’s a couple months ag... | |
| Need Ideas on speaker cables I will be #3 to recommend the Canare 4S11 OFC cable as a self build. I run a 5.1 system that requires some very long cables due to room layout etc. I bought a 150 foot spool of the cable and all the required items for the terminations (banana plug... | |
| Tidal v. Qobuz -- a different perspective I’m fairly new to streaming and as such tried both Tidal and Qobuz simultaneously. I found them virtually the same. Sure there were minor differences between the two but nothing to really separate them. I chose Qobuz because a good friend also ys... | |
| When using a power conditioner, why is it advised to run amps directly to the wall? @cueball9 Thanks for finally mentioning protection in the event of a power surge! I wondered when it would come up. The power in my area is fairly unreliable and goes completely out several times a year minimum. It’s so bad that I installed a wh... | |
| When using a power conditioner, why is it advised to run amps directly to the wall? Thanks for all feedback everyone. The issue seems to have many opinions dependent on many different situations. I have had literally everything in my rack plugged into the Mac power center for nearly 16 years plus I just added a big powered sub ... | |
| When using a power conditioner, why is it advised to run amps directly to the wall? S**t! I’ll try again. MPC1500. | |
| When using a power conditioner, why is it advised to run amps directly to the wall? That is an MOC1500 power control center. | |
| Integrated that blew you away I haven’t listened to an integrated amp in decades. But that’s only because the few audiophile type of friends I have don’t have one. I’m a McIntosh owner since the late 70’s. My first amp was a MA6100 integrated. Man I loved that thing. Had it fo... | |
| what is a good mcintosh preamp and monoblocks for a b&W 802d I run a 5.1 system with an A/V processor but if I eas doing a 2 chennel system, the C49 preamp for sure I run (3) MC501 mono blocks across the front. I love them. | |
| Subwoofer for Klipsch Heresy My very best friend of over 60 years has Heresy I’s he bought shortly after they were released. They still sound as great as they did on day one. Anyway, he’s had a Velodyne 12” powered sub running along side for many years. It sounds terric and... |
