| High End Integrated Choices If you are excited by the MC2275, by all means try it. The BAT may be too much in an undamped room and I think you will be surprised at the power the Mc has - I was. | |
| Best path to upgrade my source There is no best path other than extensive experimentation. There are many DACs out there and you will just have to do some research, find out which ones seem to match you style, and get one to try out. If you buy used DACs carefully, you can sell... | |
| Avantgarde Trio replacing Dunlavy SC-V? You can't just toss a pair speakers in the room and expect them to work - especially AGsz or big Dunlavys. Have you done a lot of experimenting with speaker placement? You could maybe improve your room drasically by simply setting the speakers up ... | |
| Inexpensive amp for a McIntosh C46 Preamp Great! Let us know what you think of your new system. | |
| 12v multiple triggers how to? Look to see if your processor doesn't have "power control" ports on the back. For instance, McIntoshes come already equipped to do just that. | |
| I have tweak phobia ?? Warren, you sure do crack me up | |
| Inexpensive amp for a McIntosh C46 Preamp If you really want to go cheap, the Adcom 545 mk2 is remarkable. It kills the bigger 555 (I have compared both in my system) and rivaled my McIntosh amp, all for $275! It is the highest value amp I have ever heard. Finding a good preamp is much ha... | |
| member system photos??? So Newbee, where are your system pics? ;) Arthur | |
| old amps verus new Yeah, there is a lot of difference. But it also depends on tastes and ability to hear (this last one should not be underestimated). Arthur | |
| Inexpensive amp for a McIntosh C46 Preamp I think you have made the better choice. I would get a MC162 and be set for a while. I have seen them post here for less then $1200 on a couple occasions. I have owned the C712 but you are way better off with the C46 (actually, there is no compari... | |
| C46 or C220 I have the C46's predecessor, the C42 which is basically the same. I have heard the C46 and 2200 (but not 220) serveral times now. I have to say that the C46 in direct A/B comparison with the 2200 is a tad more transparent and for me, that takes t... | |
| Mcintosh MC150 light bulb replacement I am not certain about the 150 but I bet the Mc logo bulbs are solder-type and the rest are plug-in. It is an easy job if you have ever used a soldering iron before. Be sure to order a new set from Mc before doing anything. Chances are not all of ... | |
| McIntosh SS Amps - Old vs New - Sonics The 2200 and 2205 are at least 25 years old now. Their caps probably need to be replaced and device technology has moved forward since those days. Just due to these two points, the newer Mcs will sound better (i.e. more transparent). I used to hav... | |
| Volume and Bass levels at LA HE Show They think they are making it sound impressive and exciting. It's classic American one-upmanship at its finest - quantity is so often prized higher than quality. | |
| All Japanese system If you ask a Japanese person about what sound they like, they may well answer: McIntosh and Tannoy! |
