    Any Thoughts On Sooloos

    For the last few years I've read that the Sooloos has the best user interface on the market. I always wanted a Sooloos but the price was just too high, I keep waiting for other companies to improve their user interface to Sooloos level. I've tried a few servers lately and I'm disappointed with...

    One of my friends just bought a MR88 to replace his MR71. He was kind enough to let me borrow his MR71. It's fun to see how equipment over 40 years apart sounds (and looks) together. I had to take a few pics to show off here. It has been a while since I have had a tuner in my system, the MR71...

    I just ordered the 60th Anniversary set.

    I was at the dealer today and I just could not hold back any longer. I ordered the 60th Anniversary set. I wanted to here it before buying it. My dealer said he did not want to open a set for demo since it is a limited edition set, I can understand that. He called his McIntosh rep while I...

    My MCD500 Comparisons Today

    I took my MDA1000 in to the local stereo shop for some comparisons with the new MCD500 today and here are my findings. Keep in mind my MDA1000 has been upgraded by the Upgrade company.

    Tempted by Burmester

    There is a new stereo shop in my town and I had to stop by to see what they have. They had a Burmester system with a 001 CD player, 035 preamp, 036 amp and 961 MK3 speakers. I was very impressed with the Burmester system, it had the most mid and high frequency detail and the least harshness I...
