    Looking for a tube amp around 1K, 40 watts or so.

    You won't get anything good new at that pricepoint. But you can get a restored Fisher or Dynaco...

    Which entry-level DSLR?

    imo canon kicks everyone's butt. get the latest rebel and instead of the zoom that comes with the kit, get the 50mm 1.8 or 1.4.

    Looking to get something tube, but where to start?

    i started with (and, well, it's all i have tube-wise, so far...) a fisher 400. they're inexpensive but sound great. i got mine from a guy that restores them. about 35wpc which is plenty to power my dynacos. in my opinion, it's a combination that hard to beat. i've listened to music more often...

    shows how little i know... mac4100 and ar-3's

    higuys- can i hook my ar-3's to my mac4100 even though the 3's are 4ohm and there's no speaker output for 4ohm? will the receiver run hotter? what the heck does it mean that they're 4 ohm? thanks...i don't get this whole "electricity thing"... :scratch2:

    McIntosh Receiver

    sometimes there's value in simplicity and elegance. (he says, writing from the library, a room with a thousand books and six amplifiers...) the mac4100 is nothing to sneeze at, with efficient speakers it'll fill a room with sound. and until i got my fisher 400 my 4100 was the best sounding...

    New Upgrade Path "aka" Weakest Link

    my speakers sound great but they just don't move enough air. maybe i just need a fan... i'm really putting time into my music collection, and have more than 5000 cd's at this point. i've always wanted a huge library of books and music, and i think i'm finally getting there...

    am i harming my ma-6900?

    hi guys- i got my ma-6900 hooked up in my living room. :yes: it's powering two nsm monitors and i also have a powered sub (100watts) hooked up as well. the nsm's are wonderful sounding little speakers, but are horribly inefficient- 82.5 db. :no: the amp is peaking at 20 watts (from watching the...

    McIntosh Receiver

    get the mac4100. it sounds great, probably the best receiver that mc made. equalizer, great tuner. no complaints. got mine used for $500.00. can't beat it, imo.

    Importance Of CD Source In HIFI

    Bookshelf speakers: total confusion!

    the other thing to consider (or rather another) is what kind of music do you listen to, how loud do you play it, how big is your room- is it carpeted, have glass windows, brick walls- and how far from your speakers are you? any salesman that says they have the perfect speakers for you without...

    Bookshelf speakers: total confusion!

    you'll go crazy trying to find the perfect speaker, and in my opinion it's nearly pointless to listen to speakers in a store- for all the reasons that you mentioned- that and of course their never going to tell you that the perfect speaker is at another store... i bought a pair of small NSM...
