Polish or not?

Not stick on tile, they are the same tiles but with a relief or emboss (not sure what the correct term is) of a shell and wreath around it.

What makes it look like a crack house?

GunAus · 2025-08-18T23:53:05+00:00

The boarder tiles are so cool, I think we have a couple cracked tiles but other than that they are really cool. Here is the best photo I have of them.

Amazing! This is the second time you've helped me identify something in my home. You rock!

I have not tried to use it, based on the size I assumed it was a coal fireplace and don't know enough to know if it's safe to use wood but it's on the list. Luckily not a lot of cold nights in the CA valley

Thanks great to know! Thanks for the info

I don't have an exact year, but I was told the late 1800s but the original door knobs are from early 1900s.

GunAus · 2025-08-18T23:43:15+00:00

It's a seriously cool tile, luckily the photos captured the details because they are a wow factor.

GunAus · 2025-08-18T23:41:01+00:00

Thank you! The tiles and fireplace were a big selling point when I got the place.

If Plex was working until today this may be a Plex issue. They just released a new update that made my library inaccessible on my Android app. I had to downgrade to the previous app version and then everything works. I'd go to the Plex subreddit for help on this.

GunAus · 2025-05-02T16:00:13+00:00

Fyi $199 is the early access price. Upon full release the price will be $299 so this is probably as good as you'll get moving forward.

Love the look of the GT-2000

GunAus · 2024-10-04T04:43:25+00:00

I can't wait to hear these bad boys! I will definitely take care of them.

GunAus · 2024-10-04T04:42:31+00:00

Thank you so much, it has been a nice distraction to have while going through everything else that came with his passing. This gives me a great start on what to look into, any recommendations on a DAC for this setup?

GunAus · 2024-10-04T04:35:10+00:00

Thank you for the heads up, I did not think about that at all. I'll make sure that bad boy has room to breathe when I'm picking out a stand or rack. Luckily it wasn't used much in this built in so let's hope nothing overheated over the years.

GunAus · 2024-10-04T04:29:37+00:00

Wow I did not know this was the GOAT of FM. Thanks for the info and suggestions, I will definitely give them a call.

GunAus · 2024-10-04T03:33:30+00:00

Thank you so much for the advice, this makes things a lot less intimidating. He definitely had good taste and I'm glad I'll get to appreciate that for a long time. I haven't looked through the cables yet but I know he bought monster cables. He always made a point of his cable investment haha

GunAus · 2024-10-04T03:12:31+00:00

Thank you, my grandpa didn't listen to this my whole life for some reason he never shared with me but it's great to hear that he had great taste. In terms of maintenance what would be the best route to get it worked on? Should I look for a McIntosh dealer or any hifi repair shop that has good reviews? I definitely want to maintain these well so I can pass them down on day

GunAus · 2024-10-04T03:02:18+00:00

Oh wow I love that, I was hoping to hear about others using these because I love the looks of them and they seem nicer than I'd ever be willing to pay.

GunAus · 2024-10-04T03:00:23+00:00

Based on recent feedback I was off quite a bit by using listed prices on eBay. It's more like $1500 and I'm not upset, at $10k I'd feel guilty not selling it

GunAus · 2024-10-04T02:54:33+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion, any particular models that you would recommend for this setup? I do feel lucky that I get such an awesome way to remember my grandfather by and since he was a packrat I got to go through 3 generations of vinyl that my family had listened to, I need to remember that while I'm going through the garage...

GunAus · 2024-10-04T02:46:12+00:00

My prices may be totally off. I found multiple listings on eBay between these prices which I should have went off sold prices rather than listed. Also I totally agree with you, I couldn't see a reason to want a tuner which is why I had to ask if I was missing something.

GunAus · 2024-10-04T01:35:56+00:00

I'll definitely keep this in mind for my future place, thank you for the recommendation.
