| Capital Audiofest, save thyself! You should have went to the Overture Audio room and listen to the first world wide public debut of the new B&W 801D4s paired with McIntosh MC901 amps. That was a great listen and the MC allowed some of us to pick digital tunes from the Aurende... | |
| Are Bowers and Wilkins speakers overpriced? The new 801D4 series does not have an overly bright sounding tweeter. It sounded incredibly remarkable at the Capital Audio Fest during its worldwide public debut at the fest. It was paired with the New McIntosh MC901s…600 watts solid state and 30... | |
| Sussurro MkII and surface noise? @tonyptony,If you do a search for Sussaro MKII in this forum, you will find my impressions of the Sussaro MKII compared to the Benz LPS and Ruby Z. What I enjoy with the BenzLP, LPS, and Ruby Z are the beautiful, natural, and organic sound each pr... | |
| Sussurro MkII and surface noise? @tonyptony,Good luck on your retirement move and congratulations on your retirement. I can’t wait to make our last move to our retirement house, wherever that may be. I have a Benz Ruby Z, Benz LP, and Benz LPS to compare to the Sussaro MKII that ... | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? @sokogear,”I am curious as to why you don’t list a Porsche.”, interesting that you ask. I have not entirely ruled out obtaining a GT3 in the future. Real quick story. When I left active duty and picked up a consultation gig in Europe, I did put a ... | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? @sokogear,“So long as it fits in my allotted space for the stereo and the boss doesn’t kick it out of her den, I really don’t care about the look.”That’s the truth. That is why I have a dedicated listening room, out of the way and out of sight. | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? People hate things all the time. An extreme dislike or disgust of anything can probably be mentioned by anyone for their aversion to whatever. This forum is not indicative or inclusive of the many people who have owned a variety of products and po... | |

| Townshend Pods under TT Don’t Do @joenies, Thank you for the compliment. The Clearaudio Master Solution is also a nice rig for listening to vinyl records. It seems that in this hobby, many of us tend to experiment a lot and test things, products, settings to see if we can gain be... | |
| Townshend Pods under TT Don’t Do @joenies,I am glad that you experimented and tested springs under your non suspended turntable because now I don’t have to. I also have a heavy mass turntable (Transrotor Apollon 80MM TMD, roughly 130 pounds with three external motors) resting on ... | |
| My Experience With Tekton What were the Tekton models that you purchased that provided you so much joy that you described. I did not see it in your opening paragraphs or subsequent paragraphs. If I overlooked, please point me to the location in your write-up. Sounds like y... | |
| Porsche Did anyone notice the small Tannoy speakers in his garage? They look right at home and it also looks like a McIntosh integrated something on the rack. Anyone else have an ideas on what the specific audio components are in his garage? That’s one wa... | |
| Porsche That's great. Many folks have multiple hobbies and enjoy them equally well as the audio hobby. I could go on and on and rant about my Corvette Z06 racing days in Germany and tearing up the Formula 1 race track (Hockenheim Ring) while my sponsors a... | |
| adding multiple subwoofers Congratulations, your on the right track. The benefits of the new generation SVS subwoofers are that they include built in EQ/DSP. This allows for more individual bass EQ no matter where you place them. To get the most benefits, you need a way to ... | |
| In general, how does price relate to quality? “Money can’t buy happiness, But it could buy me a boat, it could buy me a truck to pull it, It could buy me a Yeti 110 iced down with some silver bullets”…it’s all relative. As you grow and mature in this hobby, you learn through experiences what ... |
