Thanks everyone for the kind words.
You know, the worst part about this is he was perfectly fine, walking around, eating, etc, etc, then literally in one minute, he came fumbling into the kitchen like that. That's what hits us the most, that it...
My only issue with HeadAmp was the incorrect misleading information on their website and poor communications. I hear they are very good amplifiers and would have waited for the one if I had not came across the deal on the SimAudio! However I was...
That is cool, and of course you have to get what works best for you. There is definitely some leaking from open backs; for me and my wife it is very minor.
You still have a choice of dynamic driver versus planar. Focal used dynamic as does...
When my girlfriend and I first got together 12 years ago, about 4 months into our relationship, we decided to adopt a kitten. When at the pet store, this little guy (Trouble) came right up to us, along with his little sister (Charlie). So we adopted...
I played some Post Malone one time and everyone got mad! Said it wasn’t music. They wanted more boring classical.

We will be back in 2022! The hotel is completely renovated. Exciting stuff.
Enjoy a look back.

Hey Mike, that sounds absolutely amazing, and congratulations! Far beyond my means but that is irrelevant for this discussion.
I am sitting here listening to my SimAudio ($4500) top of the line amp which is built much better than any other...
This looks awesome... I would be tempted to sell all my gear for one of these, but then again, other than power, mine probably sound better.
I like that their new DAC goes up to DSD512 but I would think the T+A is better. I also believe the...
This looks like it must be wonderful. MSB is supposed to be really great gear. If you can afford it then why not.
Two issues for 99.9% of the people.... It is only for electrostatic headphones which are fairly limited... and it cost $38,000. ...
Hmmm Tom... let me think. I got my Hattor about a year ago. I got the Active Tube Stage last fall. A very nice improvement. The Hattor is very open sounding, very detailed, incredible sound stage. The tube stage added a lot of dynamics and and...
I think many of us go through the same Tom. Since I jumped back into this amazing hobby I have discovered so many pieces that I never knew existed. I would say half of the companies that are now main stays in my system I had never heard of before!
The Hattor has several options on the resistors being used. The AMRG Trans brings the price up to what is also being charged for the tube stage. But it is a huge upgrade from the standard model (I started with the standard and went up to the AMRG...
These pieces do look amazing, unfortunately they are the exact opposite speaker match then what I have :)... my Maggie's are not only 4 ohm but also 86 db efficiency. They need a little bit of power :)... but the classic McIntosh that I recently...
I really enjoy my SimAudio NEO 310LP. It comes in at about $2k, has both SE and Balanced outputs (one of the reason I went with this one was the Balanced outs). Has a slew of settings for both MM and MC cartridges including gain up to 66db. When...
This is a global problem which extends far beyond audio to appliances, cars and much more. It’s quite frankly, a global supply chain issue.
For audio related, we could sell 20 times more if we could just get inventory. Companies like Lumin...
I heard them many times, lots in the Zesto room. Can’t say they wowed me really. Sometimes they sounded nice, other times, meh.

That's Trouble (left) and Charlie (right), the stereo kitties. LOL They are brother and sister, and they do in fact enjoy the music. And they also love those new little beds that we got them.
Every single person that came into the store this week listened to the Kharma’s. Both pairs were universally loved as in “I want these”. Not one person wasn’t completely enamored and “drawn in”. There was no “not my cup of tea” or “too much...
Did a thing today... Been itching for a while for some DIY action, and I've had these sitting at the other house for a few years now doing nothing. Figured I'd get them fired back up and actually finish them off properly.
Here's the quick and...
Actually, they are $37,500. Bring a tissue, these Kharma’s will rip your heart out, give you goosebumps and make you tear up. Super emotional sounding speakers.

The Discrete is not changing in price.
And I would sure have loved to have seen that price of $7k because that’s a big no no.

You guys are mean :D...
Honestly though, I bet it will be fairly popular for McIntosh. People with a MA252, MA352, or the C8 might be wanting one.
But honestly, the true ugliest thing they make is this monstrosity:
Not sure on the spinner :).... I would not. I assume people who have the other pieces would be interested in it to complete the setup.
However I would be interested in the pre-amp. I really liked the MA252 when I had one and it sold pretty much...
