McIntosh MP1100 Feedback

@elliottbnewcombjr hi , yes indeed , it turned out to be the last 2 records that lacked bass , when I did a test with daft punk and compared it to streaming it was perfectly fine. Just bad coincidence on 2 albums that made me panic.

this phono change just happened because my local store was discounting all demo models on sale, so just seemed like a good opportunity. The price is even less than what they are going for on the used market, which they aren’t even available that often, it’s pretty rare 

glad you are ready when luck crosses your path!

glad your TT is sounding good!

@elliottbnewcombjr  im slowly starting to look at my analog and digital source equipment. Over time, i slowly upgraded different components, past 2 years , I upgrade my speakers, amp and pre amp, some speaker wire cabling. Next, looking at analog source, turntable and phono then down the line might get a separate streamer and dac - will see.

Here is a well writtten review with pic of the inside.  Very Impressive.

Here is a quote in the comment section to the article regarding tubes:

My favorite tubes for this phono is the Mullard Long Plate MC1s square getter, truly “airy”, organic and musical. The ones in the pictures were Telefunken’s, they were less glittery than the stock tubes, and I also find them to be more “organic”.
