My father-in-law gifted this player along with the power supply to us over the weekend as a congrats on baby 3 gift. The manual is pretty bad and is a bad translation into english. After a couple of hours, I figured out how to get the thing to work, however I am 99% sure I am only getting the...

Before I address my other thread, I was checking to see if anyone is familiar with the H20 S250 amp and H20 Fire preamp? My father-in-law was diagnosed with Parkinson's nearly 15 years ago and unfortunately he's not able to enjoy his 2 channel system anymore. We announced on Monday that our 3rd...

I recently lost my entire McIntosh home theater setup as well as my speakers. Anyway, my father in law did a really nice thing in loaning me his secondary system that he doesn't use much anymore. One of the pieces is a rather cool looking tube CD player, the Lector CDP-7 with the PSU-3T seperate...

Sorry to vent here. I need to get it off of my chest....and also advice on how and where to start over. My wife and I are both emotnional wrecks beause of what you are about to read: My wife and I have known each other since grade school and we didn't really like each other until we started...

So, we built our house in 2016 and put in a home theater. All the equipment in the rack was new, but the speakers were about 12 years old at that point, but they were all from the same line, so they were all tonally matched. (B&W Nautilus line....802's, HTM1, 804s, 805, and 4 in ceiling Cinema...

Me, my wife, and my dad just did this experiment in our theater We tested a McIntosh MCD301, Oppo 103D, and Sony X800. Used the same interconnect, same CDs, and used an Spl meter to get the volume level matched. We found that there wasn't much of a difference in the 301 and Oppo. The Oppo maye...

Forgot to update this thread! I really didn't know what to expect when the dealer talked to Mac about it. They were apologetic but kind of dragged their feet on sending a replacement "due to supply issues." My dealer had me create a post on their facebook page with the details (but not submit)...

I still listen to a LOT of physical media {50 + SACD}and am close to pulling the trigger on selling my MCD301 an get the MCT450 so I can utilize my C2700's MCT input (i assume it's the same?). I will end up spending about 1200 out of pocket. Just curious as to if the move is going to have a...

We recently did this. In the same rack we had an Oppo 103D, Sony X8000, and McIntosh MCD301. We used the digital out into our McIntosh C2700. She didn't know what was what and she picked the Oppo by a wide margin. When it was my turn, she did changes to how i lugged them iin and dI picked the...

I need a streamer for my system. I just got a McIntosh C2700 preamp with a nice new DAC in it, so I don't' think a DAC is needed. A friend on FB recommended the Zen Srrea. Good option?

So our wall rack equipment are all plugged into a Furman 20 pfi.. I hae a good friend that is a dealer and told me to ditch the Fuman ASAP and get something like the Shuntaui Venom. He swears that I will blown awa. Has anyone here actually A/B tested pieces to see if one sounds better than another?
