| McIntosh MC402 Many people know this amp - check the archives. I think it is the best amp I have ever heard, or rather I have never heard B&W N803 sound as good before. It was mated to the C46 and 205. I listened to them for hours with all types of music. I ... | |
| selectable output mute feature McIntosh preamps are about the only ones with that capability. You can operate up to three independant systems with one McIntosh preamp. It is a great idea but so far, few think of it. I too plan on having two systems through one preamp soon. Good... | |
| Component Pecking Order Check out the latest issue of TAS. They have a roundtable discussion on exactly that. It is entertaining to read. | |
| Tuners that do it? My cheap little Sony SA550-ES tuner kicks butt. I am as impressed by its specs as its sound, and for the money, it is my favorite so far. | |
| Happy Thanksgiving You are on Audiongon while eating Thanksgiving dessert?! Now that is dedication! ;)Happy Thanksgiving to all you lunatics out there!! | |
| McIntosh MX119 I just saw it yesterday on thire website. I too am interested in know people's opinions on it. Anyone know the price? I have been looking for a "stripped down" pre/pro for a while. | |
| balanced connection player The 506 does not have balanced connections. Good luck finding a 506. I have been looking for that or a 507 for months. The only one I saw in that time was a faulty 506 on Ebay. oh well! Arthur | |
| balanced connection player Add all the Classe CDPs to the list. | |
| mcintosh mc2505- need some advice The 2505 can't be bridged but as noted above, a Y splitter should work. Also, know that those early transistor amps had high output impedances which will make them tricky to mate with some speakers. Back in those days, speakers had much higher imp... | |
| Mcintosh vs Parasound I believe the JC1 needs 10000000 hours of break in, at least. However, 20000000 hours is best.The MC402 is one of the best amps I have ever heard. Looks knockout too. Arthur | |
| Don't think I'm crazy but... Higher efficiency will definately help your problem. I use JM Lab Electra 926s which use WAY less power than my previous Paradigm Reference 100.2s. My McIntosh meters never read more than 50W even when I have it really loud. At that same SPL, the ... | |
| Will the amp or speaker get damaged? If you want something cheaper than the Bryston, Niles Audio also makes a switch box. My local dealer uses a Bryston switch in his setups. This is assuming you don't want to run both speaker pairs at the same time.Your amp would probably be ok with... | |
| Rotel 1072 & Arcam 73 comparison Interesting - I have been looking at these two models myself. Thanks for your comparison. Arthur | |
| Mcintosh MA6900 sounds better than separates That is funny because I listened to the 46/402 combo back-to-back with the 6900 and liked the 46/402 setup better. Perhaps it depends on the speakers. In my case, they were being auditioned with B&W N803s. However, I have to admit the differen... | |
| Autoformers McIntosh uses them all the time. |
