Seeking Honest Opinions: Your Experience with McIntosh Audio Gear
We sold Mac audio gear in our store back in the 1970's. We also sold ARC, Halfer, B&O, Yamaha, Maggies, Klipsch, JBL, Levinson, Linn, and more. Back then Mac would come in the stores and set up a test bench with clad blanket covering the table... 
FAVORITE POWER CABLE under $100 (1M)
Please "NO POLITICS" Ali Express has some cables at pretty good prices. Granted you do not know what they are made of, even if they say OFC on them. They also sell some nice connectors.  Best deals are used cables. Most are in like new condition.

I have thousands of 45 RPM records. I got 2 1/4 inch thick pieces of glass made with the center cut out for the label. I put the 45 between the glass, taped the glass together, and sat it on top of light bulb. (about 6" from bulb) I would give it ... 
$5K KUZMA TONEARM FOR ONLY $690! Gryphon Diablo for Only $699!
I have been seeing the ads pop up every night. You are charged when you make a listing but the card might be stolen or you are sent a bill from AudioGon to pay. The ad might stay up a short time before it is caught. AudioGon is aware of the proble... 
Fedex and Ups Damage thread
I have shipped over 5000 items using UPS, FedX, and USPS. Lots of heavy items. According to UPS if it gets damaged it was not packed correctly. The damage has to be noticed, when the package arrives and noted to the driver, or in most cases you ar... 
HELP! Large speakers fell over during shipping.
The speakers can look perfect and sound OK and a month from now develop an issue. If the guy you purchased the speakers from paid for the shipping, you are going to be caught in the middle. Any money will go to the person, that paid for the shippi... 
Paying with a cashiers check? Need advice!
Looking at the listing and the seller does not have feedback for the last 3 years would be a deal breaker. Another thing I noticed is the pre amp only weighs 26 lbs. A McIntosh box probably weighs 20 lbs. The weight should be at least 40/50 lbs. T... 
Simple and Effective Upgrade for Wall Wart Power Supplies
Thanks for all the good input about power supplies. I have a wall wart on my DAC and my turntable. I have always disliked them. They are always the first thing to fail. I unplug them, when not in use. I was wondering if these power supplies mainta... 
For those of us over 60..
I am 70, so I hope I am no to old for an opinion. Old enough to have actually seen Elvis in concert. When I think back I would have to say the Beach Boys influenced me in my teens to start surfing along with Dylan and folk music. As I got older th... 
Paypal issue beware.
trumpisgreat16 is correct stating that buyers pay PP fees is against PP policy and any charge card for that matter. It is perfectly legal to add 5% to the selling price and offer a 5% discount if paying with cash, check, etc. The problem is what t... 
Paypal issue beware.
Been using pay pal for years and have never heard of refunding with out the return of the item. I would contact an attorney and also talk to a reporter with the local news channel. If you can get them involved the public attention may help. When y... 
Digital Audio for Dummies
I would put myself in the same position as corelli trying to go into streaming but the computer language is confusing. Hopefully it is OK to ask a question. I do not have a large cd music file. (250 cd') I have all the music on a thumb drive. (los...

Which preamp for a pass labs?
I am using ARC Ref 5se with Pass 100.5's and switch with an ARC Ref 75. I am actually having a hard time picking which I like better. When I was looking I was told, that the ARC LS25 MKll is a very good preamp and the Ref 3 just a little better. I... 
Pass Labs
I personally could never afford any expensive audio product, but I sure am glad there are people out there that can. It wasn't that long ago, that I could not afford a $10,000+ 42 inch plasma TV. They were for rich people. I remember hearing an Au...
