Re: Another Unexpected Comparison

My McIntosh MT-5 table is made in Germany by Clearaudio and has the magnetic plinth support and antskating as well. Works well.

Also, have you tried different taps on those nice autoformers?

Re: Regenerator and my CJ monoblocks

Aj, do you actually enjoy a little fun? Sure doesn't seem like it sometimes!

Looking forward to the next twenty pages or so on your next non-CJ purchase.

FYI, that's two Porsches!!

Re: Wilson speakers

AJ, I love my stuff, just as you do yours. But "would seem to have potential" strikes me as somewhat patronizing regarding this venerable brand that has, does and will set a very high standard.

Best,

Re: Wilson speakers

Just for fun I dropped in on my friendly neighborhood McIntosh dealer. I had them play Man in the Long Black coat. They streamed it through a HiFi Rose 150, their top streamer. They set it up to play through the fancy two box top of the line McIntosh preamp and a pair of the latest 1200+ Wpc monobl...

"Its part of a retired guy’s man cave. It would not pass in a shared space. You should see the other “workshop” half of the room. The man cave esthetic is in full force. Certainly not as nice a fashion statement as a wall of McIntosh, though there are a couple of meterless McIntosh boxes on the...

Re: Clearance/closeouts

Yes, all solid companies easily beat the alternative "boutique", one man shops as a business. If you were a top engineer, would you bet your career on one other overstressed dude that doesn't have time to design, build, repair, answer inquiries and market?

I think not.
