The 6900 would need nearly 300 hours to fully settle down IMO. The bass would be the last to sound right. My 6900 went from being bright - veiled - no bass - sounding really good. Maintain a log if you can. This way you don't have to keep guessing. Good luck & enjoy !
McIntosh MA6900 Sensitive to Power Cords? I have
a JPS AC+ cord I will try on it after break in. It's a new unit with the stock power cord connected now. If the JPS does not work out, I have a less expensive Shunyata Diamondback to try. I'm looking to maintain great low end but yet clear up the high end a bit. To me it seems a little veiled on the high end. I am used to a cleaner top end. I know that Mc's are known for a tube type high end that is not greatly extended but I feel I can improve it with the right pc.
Has anyone tried a non-curent limiting conditioner like the Shunyata Hydra? I have a Hydra 4 that I will enventually plug the Mc into. Also how many hours to break in a new 6900?
