| JM Lab Speakers With McIntosh Amp? Many thanks to everyone for your comments and feedback. It's most appreciated. I WILL be moving into the JM Lab 926s this fall (and maybe doing some upgrading to newer McIntosh gear as well! | |
| Bose Wave Music system For the same money you could buy an older McIntosh receiver and a pair of NHT speakers that will blow the Bose Wave system away. | |
| Good remote controled, used preamps out there. Have you considered any of the McIntosh Preamps. Most of the later models have a phono preamp section that most reviewers find as good as many standalone phono preamps. And, of course, most models since the mid-1980s have a remote control of most ... | |
| Consumer Electronic Show ? I was considering going this year - especially since I own a company that duplicates thousands of CDs, DVDs and videotapes. Also, for several years I've receieved the CES show brochures with the registration forms enclosed. I finally decided to re... | |
| HD Radio- Why no home tuners yet? I think it's too little - too late for digital radio. Between Infinity, Clear Channel, and other biggies in radio broadcasting few people I know listen to most of the drivel on commercial AM & FM. Way too many commercials (especially during el... | |
| Is ebay feedback worth anything on Audiogon? I am extremely cautious about anyone out there with little prior feedback and then gives the "E-Bay Feedback" line. Just for starters, my original E-Bay account has been terminated due to E-Bay's inability to stop someone that hacked my original a... | |
| MAM-A Mitsui vs. Taiyo Yuden - Which One? I own a media duplication company and we have used many thousands of Taiyo Yuden discs. They are well made and thenumber of faulty discs we find are minimal. I would be especially wary of any discs you buy off of E-Bay. The savings vs. buying from... | |

The oldest item I have in my main system is a totally refurbished McIntosh MR-73 tuner that I listen to almost every morning.I am also about to list a pair of H.H. Scott two way speakers, Model S-10B, ... | |
| Office system How about an older McIntosh Receiver? Most of the 1970s models are still pretty easy to find and parts are still available for most models directly from McIntosh. If you live anywhere near a large city there is most likely a Mac Service shop nearb... | |
| CD-R burnout I laugh at articles like the one you quote from above. I've been in the television and media duplication business for nearly 20 years. I've seen a wide variety of video and audio formats come and go. I record all my CD-Rs on a commercial Marantz o... | |
| Analog tuners in the digital age I agree with Sugarbrie; and I work in the television industry. Congress is mostly interested in converting the TV broadcast system from analog to digital so they can auction off the current TV spectrum for BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. I have heard little ... | |
| i need a power conditioner. monster? I am very happy with a Panamax 5300 to filter power to my McIntosh tuner, preamp, amp, and CD player. It also filters the power on my 32" Sony TV/Monitor and my Panasonic DVD recorder. I would suggest a modest upgrade, however, and chuck the stock... | |
| Help with CD player upgrade I agree with newbee - buying some audio gear to take to college is a risky deal at best. Way too many opportunities for your audio gear to either get stolen or thrashed by some uncaring nit wit. When I went to college - many, many years ago - my ... | |
| HE2004 in San Francisco this year HE 2004 Cancelled due to hotel worker's strike in San Francisco. Just saw it posted on Craig's list, with a link to the Primedia website. | |
| broadcast quality pictures...???... I've worked in the television industry for nearly 20 years; and think you need to know there is no such "standard" as broadcast quality. It is nothing more than a meaningless term used by various sales types and promoters to "impress" the uninform... |
