The right speaker died immediately. The left speaker was weakened in that it died shortly after getting the right speaker back from repair.

I was trying to find out how loud they would play before they started to distort. As mentioned, they never distorted. They certainly were impressive.

Why not try it on each piece of gear, and keep it on the one that sounds best?

Just two, one in each speaker.

Actually, the issue was no matter how loud the speakers played they sounded good. Until they stopped.

My Magico S5 came alive when I added a second dedicated line for the amps so that each amp could reach its 1200 watts without tripping a breaker. Of course, I then managed to break each speaker,...

All McIntosh gear is fugly.

I read the comment as his opinion, not a quote from the article.

I think this applies to virtually everything advertised.

I keep my Lumin X1, and Pass XP-22 on 24/7. The amps I turn off via the front power switch, but leave the rear power switch on. I turn the amps on when I go to bed if I plan on listening the next...

The two large, wooden crates for my speakers are in the garage. The more I look at them the more I think of getting rid of them.

This was posted on another site, but it is related to this discussion. Not sure what the original post is about since I don't watch videos posted to a forum.

Can Sound United Bring Honest Power...

Are you guys saying that for Tidal and other streaming services that you can download an album? If so then how many albums can you download; 10, 100 or as many as you can put on your hard drive?

Wouldn’t any noise in the signal also be converted into the light stream, and then reconverted back into noise?

Good luck James. I wish I had your energy. :)

Because of the 2000 song limit I have been deleting albums that aren’t really rocking me. Now I am at 1941 songs, but at some point I will hit 2000 since I buy two albums every week from HDTracks. ...

I suspect there is more to this than what we are reading here. If Shunyata won’t sell, or let anyone ship, to Australia then there must be a reason.

When it is time to stop listening I pause the song, and turn off the amps. For both my S1 and X1, I always leave them on.

I agree, but I place the ‘transparency’ effect to be more in the speakers.

I have Mapleshade brass footers under my X1. Sounds better.

Get a little at a time, and it adds up. However, I realize that it would have been a lot less expensive in the long run to just buy the gear and cables right from the start instead of spending...

Other than the AR-XB turntable, I don't remember the electronics from the 70s, but the speakers were Pioneer CS-A700. I remember saving my money from a $1.80/hour minimum wage job to buy them.

Chop-a-doodle-doo. Any Chop will do.

R2R is okay for background music, but absolutely sucks when you want to listen to songs 3, 7, and 10 (or whatever combination). I sold my R2R in the late 70s, and have never thought of replacing it.

I look at power (dedicated 20 amp lines) and power cables as the foundation for any stereo or HT. Build a good foundation and then any gear will work at its best.
