| Outrageous used pricing on older McIntosh Taters, I see many MR-78's going for 1500-1600 or more today, on here and Ebay, and granted that it's a great tuner (I used to own one, and an MR-80) but given the fact that a lot of folks are moving away from FM, one wonders if it's even worth it... | |
| Monster AVS2000 Signature Voltage? I own 2 of the Monster HTPS 7000"s, and voltage always fluctuates between 118v and 122v. I don't see that you have a problem, as the voltage isn't constant where I live either. | |
| Have you ever spoken with a designer or audio engineer Haven't personally talked with an engineer, but I did write a letter to Jack Renner (of Telarc Records fame) asking why he used different ADS monitor speakers, and B&W speakers. He wrote a nice reply, stating that when recording in Europe, the... | |
| Speaker Cable Questions Try Signal Cable. They will make custom lengths for you, and are very good cables. Price won't break the bank, either. I've used them for many years, interconnects and speaker cables. | |
| Discharging power capacitors Thanks for all your ideas, much appreciated.AL | |
| Yamaha? Welcome back! So, how do the "newest" Yamaha integrateds compare to their 1990 flagship integrated, the DSP-A1, which was the rave of the audio press at the time for Yamaha's build, sound, etc?AL | |
| A/D/S L1290s and PA1 I've tried it both ways, and makes no difference in the sound. I have both 1290/2's and 1590/2's, and have used the PA-1's on both. To me, the sound from those amps is too lean in the midrange, and I sold them. A better way to biamp is with the AD... | |
| Mcintosh MA5100 speaker connection Have you checked the manual? If you didn't get one with purchase, download one. | |
| How old are your speakers Bought my ADS 1590/2's in 1985, so that makes them 30 yrs old! Still going strong, and wouldn't even consider getting rid of them! | |
| Why do some audiophiles beat up McIntosh? And back to you, George: You're right, I don't like the autoformers in their amps, AND I don't care for their cd players either. However, I don't bash the McIntosh brand, which is what I thought this thread was all about. I love the sound, resale ... | |
| Why do some audiophiles beat up McIntosh? This thread is 2 years old now, time to give it up! You either like Mac, or you don't. To each his own opinion. Time to go bash other brands who aren't as successful as Mac, who don't have near enough re-sale value, and may last as long as this wi... | |
| CD Recorder Died - Best Replacement Option? You might also want to consider HHB 830 Burnit+, or the HHB 850. I have the 830 and have been using it for several years with nary a problem. Prices are quite reasonable too. These are professional units. It also has separate recording levels for ... | |
| Purchasing Swampwalker and Markpao both make valid points. My twist is a bit different, in that I sold a McIntosh C39 to someone in your country, who insisted it be sent Canada Post. Even tho shipped in Mac's own double boxes, some idiot dropped it on a corn... | |

| minimizing glare on TV screen I have a 55" Panasonic Plasma mounted on the wall, and had the same glare problem. Last week I switched wall mounts to one of the articulating type, and that solved my problem. It can swing 45 degrees in either direction, although I use nothing th... |
