Mcintosh amp IV or V
The MAC 275 tube amp is way overpriced for the sound it puts out... slow, gooey sounding amplifier.  There are far better sounding tube amps for less $$$ available. 
McIntosh MC275Mk4 with a pre or Mcintosh 6900?
The 275 is a slow, gooey sound already... maybe try a better brand of amplifier alltogether.  There is so much better sounding gear out there for less $$$ than MAC. 
Speaker match for MC275
Avoid any Dynaudio with that amplifier... it is far too slow, gooey sounding of an amplifier - not enough guts to properly drive a Dynaudio speaker. 
Better sound quality than the I-pod?
An iPod playing ANY music = POOP 
Why leave feedback if the Audiogon team is just going to remove it?
I was more "concerned" at first, asking where he had purchased the power cord and if he had the original bag or receipt, which he did not.  He made no mention that HE actually removed the decals at all (at first).  Then I ask him to return the ite... 
Why leave feedback if the Audiogon team is just going to remove it?
Exactly... we tried to work this out without needing to involve PayPal, but the seller was not cooperating.  If he would have just offered me a return, less his shipping costs, that would have been acceptable to me.If it was noted in the original ...

Sounded horrible, because it was a fake.

Do you know where LessLoss is located?  That would take weeks and cost money.

Hard to see if they were or not in the photos (small, low-res pictures + angle of photos), but my question is more about the Audiogon staff removing feedback that was left... why? 
Why leave feedback if the Audiogon team is just going to remove it?
After contacting LessLoss, they confirmed that there are fakes out there and that they always had both of the decals on each end.  Because the seller said (after I brought up the issue) that "he removed the stickers" does not make the cable authen...

What is the point in leaving feedback for an item that you purchase if Audiogon is just going to remove it?  How about other buyers that might be interested in buying from this member?  Should they not be aware of a situation with a past sale? 
Upgrade my DAC or buy more weed?
I think most on here would agree that this "country is going to pot" because of a lot more than people smoking some weed. 
Do we really need anything more than 8" woofer and 1" tweeter for medium size room?
Again, I think it depends on the type of music you normally listen to.  If you came over and sat in front of my system with the Tektons and REL G1 and I played you some Muse and Volbeat at loud levels, then you transport back to your system with w...

@bassdude I'm sure it sounds great, but not nearly what it could sound like with a full range pair of speakers and/or a powered subwoofer.  I guess it kinda depends on the types of music that you listen to. 
help a Die hard ANALOG guy choose a budget CDP
"... has the potential to sound better".  Ummmm. more like NO QUESTION it will sound better.  You would need to spend AT LEAST 3-4X (IMHO) to better a DAC at the same price.If you spend $1,200 on a CD player or $1,200 on a DAC, there will be NO co...
