| ACCUPHASE d-570S VS. LUXMAN D-07X SACD PLAYERS Buy what you can afford and sounds best to you. Personally, if you want a truly good player, do yourself a favor and get an Esoteric player. Nothing better for the money. Even DCS uses their transports. | |
| An Audio Amateur's question about McIntosh Audio @ghdprentice i could say the same about your beloved ARC, but I won’t. BTW, it is spelled McIntosh, not Macintosh, that is an Apple. 🍎 | |
| Definitive Technology Mythos ST-L Woofer Needed I would call their customer service line. The same guy that designed the Definitive Tech speaker also designed the Golden Ear speakers, Sandy Gross. Thus, the racetrack styled woofers | |
| Definitive Technology Mythos ST-L Woofer Needed Check with Golden Ear, they use the same type of woofers. | |
| Brands That Died The SAE 2HPD did not get a very good review when it first came out. It is not even close to the old SAE, James Borgiano Head designer in the old days is gone as are the other names that I have already forgotten. | |
| Does the Devore Fidelity Orangutan 0/96 speaker play rich and full bodied at 50 Decibels The JBL L100 Classic will not sound good at low volume. I own a pair and they don't "wake up" until you get some volume behind them. The bass is quite anemic considering it is a 12-inch woofer, I had to add a SVS SB2000 12 inch sub for adequate ... | |
| What one change to your room, system, or setup made the biggest improvement? When I finally smartened up and switched to McIntosh electronics. Tube preamp, solid state amp, and tuner. The synergy is there in spades and I have never felt I need more. Did it with both my systems. Yes, it was very expensive but truly wort... | |
| Best concert you've attended I saw The Who Quadrophenia tour at Boston Garden, truly amazing. Keith Moon hit those skins so hard, he was amazing, Townshend did his windmill for almost 90 seconds straight, John Entwistle bass was so strong and gut wrenching and Roger Daltry... | |

| Looking To Upgrade to a new CD Transport Check out CEC, they make transports. Or, at least they used to. | |
| Solidsteel Racks @yyzsantabarbara, I did exactly that with my Solid Steel rack in my office. I used a Furutech Power Conditioner under the rack, and it looks good and worked out perfectly. I have a huge McIntosh MA6600 integrated sitting on the top shelf and it... | |
| Turntable Causes Speaker Cones To Excessively Move Rapidly @dman777 , I used a ZU/Denon DL103, Gold Note Vasari Gold MM cartridge and a Benz Micro Glider. Same happened with all of the cartridges, excessive woofer pumping. I tried 3 different platforms for the Prime, a solid granite sitting on Cones, a... | |
| Favorite Supertramp album? Not a fan of Supertramp but I do own and like the record "Breakfast in America." I do like the "Radical" song | |
| Turntable Causes Speaker Cones To Excessively Move Rapidly buy a KAB Rumble filter and call it a day. It took away the oscillating with my former VPI Prime. I no longer have the problem with my Technics SL1200G and no longer use the filter. | |
| McIntosh Perhaps call them instead. |
