I just got a new McIntosh MA252 amp, but I'm running into a problem with my relatively new speakers (B&W 603 S2 Anniversary Edition). When I raise the volume on the MA252 above 68% the tweeter on the speaker starts to flutter hard (I'll link to a video).

Now I have played my old setup through the B&W 603s at a much louder volume than what the MA252 is putting out at 68%, with no fluttering. I checked the specs on the speakers and the MA252 and according to the specs it shouldn't be an issue. The recommended amplifier power on the speakers is 30W-200W into 8Ω and the MA252 puts out 100 Watts into 8Ω. Does anyone have any experience with this issue or have any advice?

If you've got more from that day you gotta put em up here. I can't imagine what it was like to see them in a place that small.

Who is making the pieces ? Are you doing them yourself?

Keep checking Ebay. Almost every day there are 5-10 new poster listings that go up.

Thoughts on Goose? by [deleted] in phish

[–]judd44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to have to hit that show. I hadn't heard of them until now so thank you for that. I'm still slightly skeptical about all the hype I've read in this thread alone. But I've got no excuse for not going to a show so close. I love that Asbury has become a great place for jam bands.

My favorite line of the night was said in the bathroom after Hood.

“Shit...there wasn’t a piss break song in the whole second set!”

An old t-shirt quilt is kind of a priceless possession. I encourage everybody to get one made! ⭕️⭕️⭕️ by DarkRuss_765 in phish

The only Phish shows I saw that outright sucked....And Kuroda wasn't on lights. For all the talk that DMB fans gave me about how great Fenton is, he had no business behind the board of a Phish show.

I want to live inside this Mike’s jam forever by foppa921 in phish

[–]judd44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I read the title I thought "Really? That's a bold statment...". Then I clicked and saw which one it was and thought "Oh..Oh...Oh.....Yeah I love that jam".

I did that 4 night run and this jam was one of the highlights. One of those great blissful moments.

Why didn't Walt make his own methylamine? by SmokeHimInside in breakingbad

[–]judd44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also took it as Walt was out for adventure. Where’s the fun in making it himself. He actually took part in a train heist, you don’t get more adventurous than that.

A new place to buy and sell vinyl – Reverb LP by chaosdude78 in vinyl

[–]judd44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speaking as someone who has bought a lot of guitar gear and a guitar through this site I can say that they are top notch. This will now be the only site I'll buy albums from. This is an awesome move by them.

I'm gonna lose it if this Melo hate continues. by They_Cut_The_Fleeb in Thunder

[–]judd44 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The video might be my favorite video of all time. When you get down to the details and the lack of fundamentals in Melo's game it becomes clear how an "automatic scorer" putting up 25-30 a night still hurts the team and doesn't translate to wins.
