| A good receiver with rear surround preamp out? The McIntosh receivers have pre-outs for all channels too. Arthur | |
| McIntosh Question I think Velo has a great idea. Check it out. Good luck - Arthur | |
| McIntosh C 352 vs. Bel Canto evo If you like your 2200, you will LOVE the 352. It is more of the same but much cleaner and more authority (I know the 2205 pretty well). The MC352 is one of the best amps I have ever heard. One day I will have one. You will finally get some beautif... | |
| Connect my McIntosh to what??? I second the PC4 idea. It was designed by McIntosh for exactly your application - it even has staggered on-delays. Top quality too, of course.I have my MC7100 plugged into the back of my C712 (great combo BTW - you will love yours, I'm sure) with ... | |
| Too Bright Big Blue Meters : Re: McIntosh MA6900 Your meters may have a problem. If you have a dealer near you, you should see if his McIntosh amps in stock are as bright as yours. The 6900s I have seen did not seem all that bright to me. You could stick a resistor in the circuit to dim them but... | |
| BAT vk-31se or Mcintosh c2200 With a McIntosh amp, I would go with a McIntosh preamp. The C2200 is simply awesome in every way. I have only compared it to the BAT VK40 and the C2200 was much smoother with the same detail present. However I agree this isn't a fair comparison si... | |
| mcintosh 7270 questions Mcintosh will send you a manual for free if you tell them you just bought a 7270 without one. They have sent them to me free of charge in the past at any rate. Your meter controller is broken and you need new meter light bulbs. McIntosh can send y... | |
| Which SS amp does sound the most warm of all? Definately McIntosh is up there in the warm department. All models are but lesser powered ones especially. You could add Conrad Johnson to the list too. Arthur | |
| Bryston 4BSST - to much power for Studio 60v2's ? Paradigms can take the power. You can't really have too much power anyway, as long as there is no clipping involved. Get the Brystons and enjoy! Arthur | |
| High efficiency speakers for home theater? I would definately check out Coincident Technologies. Great speakers with great efficiency. They all love triode! http://www.coincidentspeaker.com/speakers.htmArthur | |
| Anyone have problems with McIntosh MCD205? I remember reading that there was a problem with the early software on this player and that it took a while to figure out what was wrong exactly. It has been corrected but there were no serial numbers given as to when the fixed ones started. Call ... | |
| Tube Pre C2200 , Rogue M99 Well, I didn't elaborate on comparisons since I heard them in different systems. I don't have a reference for comparing the preamps directly. Many on this forum compare out of context but I try not to. The 99 was paired with an 88 and Tannoy D700 ... | |
| Tube Pre C2200 , Rogue M99 I heard them both but in different systems.... I would pick the McIntosh just because that system sounded gorgeous and it has features galore. That is my penny for you ;)Arthur | |
| UPS, and i don't mean shipping Be careful because most UPS output waveforms are quite messy from what I have seen in the lab. They are designed for unknown loads and so the DACs are not what you are used to from CD players. Computers have a regulated power supply in them so the... | |
| Mos-fets or Bipolars Currently, BJTs are more linear than MOSFETs - no contest. This may soon change with rapid advancements in lateral FETs but so far, the BJT is overall the most linear you can get. There is information on this topic in previous threads where I went... |
