Tannoy Stirlings on the way!
I really thought I had posted this update already, but scrolling back through the thread I don't see it. Back in late autumn 2022 I ordered a Schiit Audio Freya S+ (the balanced circuit). Feeding that to the McIntosh SS amp, I began to understand ...

Thanks, guys. So far, so good in the new place. Still figuring out my listening room. I'm in a house, though, so it's certainly quieter. I'm a pretty even-keeled guy, so not much emotional damage, other than being pissed off at the property manag... 
Tannoy Stirlings on the way!
Hi, Bob. Unfortunately, I've had rather a busy time of it since I posted that. On Christmas Eve, a burst pipe in the apartment above mine flooded my place. Mine was one of about 50. When I was able to get back into my place after the holidays and ...

Those are fun records.

Sounds good. I didn't get a notification about your post this time, either. Or from another one of the discussions I'm subscribed to. I guess I just have to keep checking my Following list and not rely on the notifications.

Sorry to be so long responding, @dandion . Sometimes I don't get my notifications that something new has been posted in a discussion I'm following. Yours was one of those.  I consider the RS-250 and Pontus an excellent combo. I can't readily comp... 
Tannoy Stirlings on the way!
Okay, finally got the Stirlings up on their new, custom Sound Anchors. They arrived a few weeks ago, but the packing was more complicated than I expected (bolted to sheets of 3/4 plywood). I just haven't had any time to do anything with them till ...

Red Garland made some really good records for minor labels.

Ray Brown was a boss.

Thanks!  It seems a bit weird to look forward to . . . speaker stands?  But I think they're going to make a considerable difference.  
Tannoy Stirlings on the way!
So, that whole thing about finding some stands to get these speakers up to more of an on-axis position, I never found anything that would work.  So I'm having Sound Anchor build a set for me. They'll be 4-posters, 9.5" high.  The platform will be... 
Folk/Rock choices that are well recorded
I'll second Trinity Sessions by the Cowboy Junkies, and Joni Mitchell's Blue.  Most anything GIllian Welch and/or David Rawlings record is well-recorded.  Joan Baez's debut album is beautifully simple.  The Avett Brothers' I and Love and You.  Mos...

Hi, @mtbiker29 .  Mine continues to function flawlessly, and I am very happy with it.  There have been several software updates already, which strikes me as a good sign for its future.  
Tannoy Stirlings on the way!
Hello, there, and welcome! I'm very happy with that combination, yes.  Being a restless audiophile, I want to try it with tubes, but the Stirlings sing wonderfully with the Mac gear we own. I listen to 70s/80s rock only rarely, but lots of golde...
