I was watching the news last night and this home in arizona had more christmas lights on it than the power company could provide for. The homeowner was proud of that. The neighbors couldn't compete with that setup so one put on their house an arrow that pointed to the other house and underneath the arrow it said "DITTO'. My contribution to gossip this morning.
Mc Intosh vs other brands
I read a thread recently that a guy was looking for an amp for his Magico speakers. He said he tried out a Mc Intosh amp, Audio Research, Pass and Spectral. He said that the Mc Intosh sounded slow and muddy compared to the others. He went on to say that Mc Intosh is behind the times and is just living on their reputation.
