| Brand Longevity What sparked this post for me was that someone posted a link to a news story about McIntosh. It made me think of posts on this forum about McIntosh owners with vintage gear replacing the glass on their gear. I've always been impressed by the fact ... | |
| Gary Moore The music forum doesn't see a lot of action. Gary was an amazing guitarist but no better than Ulrich Roth. | |
| Ayre AX-5 Integrated Amplifier I'm pretty sure ill be hearing the AX5 on Monday. It's going to have to really be something special for the price of admission. There's no shortage of amazing integrateds in that price range. The AX7e barely made my drivers jiggle in my Harbeth C7... | |
| Buying in Canada I bring stuff back from Canada all the time. My family has a summer home in the Thousand Islands. Half the time they don't even care and just let you through. For me it depends also on where I cross to come back home. Ogdensburg is the best so whe... | |
| McIntosh on CBS News You know what I love about just that area of NY? Audio Classics is right down the street from the Mc factory and if you call them and tell them you're coming they will call the factory and take you on a tour. Some of the guys that work at Audio Cl... | |
| Best Integrated, period. My dealer just got the new Ayre AX5 and texted me to tell me I need to come for a listen. He sounds impressed. | |
| And now for something completely different: Wow. Thanks for sharing. I love the bassoon. | |

| PSB Image T6 fuzzy sound That's interesting you made this discovery. It makes perfectly good sense because audiophiles are not Oppo's target market. It's home theater people. Each unit is preset for home theater optimization for the same reason a television is set for sto... | |
| Hegel H300 I'd love to hear the Hegel. My dealer tells me he's going to have one for me to addition soon. He just got in the Ayre AX5 today and texted me a picture. There's a pretty decent price gap between the Hegel and the Ayre. I have this funny feeling I... | |
| Which integrated amp? When I used to own B&W speakers I always had the best luck with NAD. If I were in your shoes I would be looking at the C375bee. Look into the Hegel H200 as well. | |
| Hegel H300 There's a review of the H300 that directly compares it against the M6 500i at goodsound.com. | |
| PSB Image T6 fuzzy sound It's funny. By you writing that the thread was old, I looked at the op and immediately assumed it was from 2008. I've only had one vodka drink tonight. Maybe I should get off the Schmirnoff. |
