| Sell your $$$ cables and conditioners... affordable LITHIUM is here! This might be a good alternative for a move to the country I'm making. In fact for the near term, solar panels will be my power source. The DC to AC inverter in the Yeti must be pretty good. I've read the ones generally sold with solar systems are... | |
| room shape Spatialking, Good point WRT to solid vs. less solid walls. Obviously adobe bricks are not common in the US and there isn't too much I could find on their acoustic qualities, but they do absorb sound. Also since walls constructed this way are uneve... | |
| Turntables +1 on Sejodiren's post. The not hidden cost of jumping into a TT purchase is the expense of the media, that is the LPs. It's possible to match that $1500 budget for the TT buying records before too long. Not to mention the cleaning equipment.It's ... | |
| Speakers for aging audiophiles - What's with today bass emphasis ? Wolf_Garcia, Great idea! But make sure to start by lighting the ones that still have Kleenex over the tweeters. It works better that way. Kidding aside a pair of studio monitors might address the issue of too much bass. After all that’s what the ... | |
| Using Maple Butcher Block Under a Turntable WRT, Mapleshade and air dried vs. kiln dried wood, I can hardly wait for someone to come out with a torified TT base. Hey if Martin guitars is doing it, why not? Same market nitche as over prices ICs. | |

| Neil Young - Guitarist The Neil Young model boasts 100% THD ;-) | |
| Mogami wire quality? I've been using DIY 1 meter RCA ICs made with 2497 and am quite pleased.The amount time and energy spent discussing cables and MQA is substantial. | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses Forget the IEC socket and fuse. Just hardwire to the power transformer... | |
| What makes you build a system around an amplifier? Owning an amp with 300b tubes. | |
| Ugly vs Gogeous speakers Tannoys are attractive although a bit stodgy. I'd never own Wilson speakers because they're too f**king ugly.Perhaps Spacial M3s are a good balance. | |
| Mcintosh If you're after tube McIntosh amps with that sort of power, I'd check out their MC2301 model. | |
| Mcintosh g_nakamoto, I think you are correct on the wattage, but they are definitely mono amps. The MI350 says so right on the front panel. http://www.tubebooks.org/file_downloads/McIntosh/MI350.pdfAlthough this Audiogon posts states 490whttps://www.audiog... |
