C12000 Owners! Help. Tube vs Solid State Question


Hi all, When I run my Mcintosh C12000 through the main out using the RCA connection I cannot hear a difference between tube and solid state settings when I switch back and forth using the automated feature.

When I switch between tube and solid state using the XLR outputs manually set with the plugs then the difference become audible.

Has anyone else made this same comparison? Could you hear a difference?

 

I am trying to figure out if my unit is defective or if this is normal. Thanks for helping!

I’m afraid I can’t bring any insight, but I’d be interested in hear more of your impressions of the c12000. I have a c2300 and considered an upgrade.
