    Recording vinyl records to digital files

    I am on a modest budget and would like to record hifi vinyl records into digital files. I want to keep the sound that my preamp and amplifier provide so I am not looking for a phono preamp with output capabilites. Rather, a device that can capture sound well and be versatile for any situation...

    Houston Area Mcintosh Repairs

    I live in Houston and my Mcintosh C28 is never able to work completely as it should, and I would like to find a qualified electrician to bring it back to a dependable level.

    C28 stereo, right channel not working

    Greetings, I purchased my first vintage hifi setup this weekend and I'm having a few hiccups on my way to having a reliable system. I own a Mcintosh C28 and MC250 which I would like to be able to use everyday. I'm hoping to get to that point on my own with little further investment. My problem...
