MC2300

I'm getting close to adding this unit into a second system.Is anyone running one?It has a small pop to the speakers when cold,after a warm up period it does fine.I was told this is common,any thoughts?The driver boards are updated.

Pop to the speakers when cold. No idea what that means. It keeps popping, it does it once. No idea.

Mcintosh MC 2300. It happens when you first turn on the amplifier.

Are you turning you’re preamp on first? If so, let it warm up for a minute then mute before turning on your amp. Try that if you haven’t.

Power up the preamp first, mute, turn the volume down on the power amp then power up the power amp, volume up the power amp, volume up the preamp. If it pops then recap that puppy. :-) I've had a few MC2300 and 2500. "The Beast", broken they keep working.. Circuit breakers too. No BS fuses crap.. 

The only thing I've ever seen spin a meter faster were VTL 750 or 1250 watt MB valve amps.. They ALL could suck a Utility pole dry.. :-)

Happy New Year.
