| What should I upgrade first on my budget system? @coryb Room treatments are pretty boring. They just hang on the wall and not much fun to play with. But, as other’s suggested, I’d make these the #1 priority in your upgrade plan to improve sound quality. I’d hang a better cartridge on the end ... | |
| Does Anyone Else Member the Golden Age of Audio Insults and Product Degradation? @lou_setriodes Looks like you've exposed some gaps in my knowledge base. Glad your experience with the NEC gear was a possible one. I've now adjusted my opinion towards NEC with a little help from my friends. Thanks for the comments. | |
| A Question About Time Alignment The time it is taking to read all the comments on this topic does not align with my morning schedule. I hope to pick it back up when I have more time this afternoon. | |
| THE IMPORTANCE OF TIME DOMAIN RESPONSE MUST READ Gosh. Who needs to watch/read the drama of political debates between unapologetic, fire-breaking partisans, when we can get all the drama we need right here on this forum? Thanks, Kenjit | |

| Who is Gonna Buy A New Jeep Grand Wagoneer For the MacIntosh Stereo? @erik_squires "music you can listen to for hours isn’t high on the list of qualities they pay attention to." Agreed. This is not unique to mobile audio, but products targeting the "mass market" (which includes luxury car market) in general. The... | |
| Who is Gonna Buy A New Jeep Grand Wagoneer For the MacIntosh Stereo? 80 pounds of Dynamat will do wonders for the noise floor in most vehicles and exponentially increase your enjoyment of the audio system. While an extra 36 kilos of extra weight might be like chalk on a blackboard to sports car enthusiasts, the ext... | |
| Who is Gonna Buy A New Jeep Grand Wagoneer For the MacIntosh Stereo? I’m coming from a different direction here. I thnk the folks at Jeep know that that brand of awareness of McIntosh among their target customers doesn’t move the needle. Nor does Mark Levinson, Meridan, etc. with other luxury brands. It allows the ... | |
| Does Anyone Else Member the Golden Age of Audio Insults and Product Degradation? @lou_setriodes That”s a new one for me. I feel (a little) smarter now. | |
| How many people do you think have the same DAC, amplifier, and speakers The formula to calculate the probabilty of this happening is: Speaker Impedance x Source Sampling Rate x Amplifier WPC. You're more likely to be struck by lightning. | |
