| Mcintosh MC 1201 ? Hot or Cool Nearly all the McIntosh amps I have experienced were on the cool side compared to the average. The MC7200 is the only one I know that tends to run hot. The Stereophile reviewer for the MC501s remarked on how cool they stayed no matter the volume. ... | |
| Mcintosh C41, any thoughts,compared to c45, c46 I compared the C41 and C46 at my McIntosh dealer. They were both in the same system with Mc402 and B&W N803 speakers. The C46 is much more transparent and generally sounds much better. I was hoping there wouldn't be much difference because I c... | |
| McIntosh MC402 I started a thread with that question but got very few answers. As I understand it, they are very very similar in sound as well as topology. | |
| Modified Jolida JD100A or Cary Cd308T Mine has the BB1716 DAC. If you put the right tubes in the Jolida, it is one heck of a player. My current favorites are GE 5751 3 mica black plates. Arthur (hey other Arthur!) | |
| JM Lab Electra users.... speaker cable termination I use banana MIT T2 biwires on my 926s. Sounds sublime to me! | |
| Need some experienced ears to grow my system what kind of sound do you like? | |
| McIntosh's new $40,000 amp and $23,000 preamp for some reason I wasn't able to get the Audiogon pics earlier. I now take back what I said about not mentioning them! | |
| Biwire Speaker cable 4 JMLab 926 - Bryston 3BSST Jan brings up a good point I should have stressed: these speakers are very sensitive to what you hook up to them. I could tell a difference with every cable I tried. My roommate, who isn't into audio (a.k.a. my sanity check), also heard the differ... | |
| Biwire Speaker cable 4 JMLab 926 - Bryston 3BSST Yes, T2 is Terminator 2. It was replaced by the AVt series just a few months ago. | |
| Music with good gospel choir Try the Fairfield Four (also from AL I think). There are actually 5 of them. Really cool sounding and allows an excellent assessment of soundstage quality. Best choral music I own. Arthur | |
| compare new McIntosh universal player with DV-50 Dokter Doug - How long have you had the Linn? Maybe it hasn't had time to break down yet. ;) Glad to hear it has already charmed you though. | |
| Biwire Speaker cable 4 JMLab 926 - Bryston 3BSST I use MIT T2 biwire cables on my Electra 926 and just love them. I have tried many different types before choosing MIT. You can find these cables used for around $150 which makes them a killer deal. Great choice of speaker BTW! Arthur | |
| Sweet not so sweet I would check out JM Lab Electra speakers. I have the 926 and Sam Tellig thought they were as fast and dynamic as his electrostatics (I think they are Quad 988). I have listened to electrostats often and agree. The electra's dispersion is not huge... | |
| the 4 ohm rating I feel the same way you do. I spend my time avoiding inefficiency - especially for speakers. I feel that inefficient speakers cannot reproduce all nuances of music. This has been my experience anyway. | |
| high ac voltage destrucive or not? In circuit design, a 50% voltage rating increase is typical so there is no problem with 128V. If your components get damaged by it, you know never to buy from those companies again.Also, upper-level Fluke meters ARE true RMS (beyond model number 7... |
