| Anybody ever hear Alon Exoticas? I auditioned them in Geneva Switzerland, paired up with ASL AQ1009dt amps. I was surprised how good the sound was. The owner of the shop said he had tried "everything" and liked those amps the best. They aren't called ASL there though... I think A... | |
| Amp suggestions for audiophile virgin The Classe 101 is a good one but I would try tubes too...the Antique Sound Labs AQ1003 sounded excellent both times I heard it. The Cayin TA30 is getting a lot of press at the moment. Actually, it all depends on what type of sound you like. You wi... | |
| Best Speaker For McIntosh MC225 Tube Amp You will need some sensitive speakers. I agree with the Coincident Tech idea. The Omegas are cool too - I had a pair for a while. Their build is excellent and their sound is good, but only with tubes. Otherwise, Living Voice apparently makes nice ... | |
| MC352 into varying-load speaker? Thanks Ron for the explanations! Cool hearing about the details involved. Arthur | |
| Early 90s digital: whatz up? What this "In ribbons?" I agree 4AD is a killer label. | |
| mac and vac amps with thiel 3.6 Well, the 70/70 is way more expensive and way more powerful than the MC225 so I would hope you would like it better! Garnetts - did you have the MA2275 in mind? I haven't heard it yet but am curious. | |

| MC352 into varying-load speaker? Yes, all autoformer McIntoshes use bifilar winding (trifilar on some amps). McIntosh patented it in 1947 for their "unity-coupled" circuit, originally for tube amps of course but then they applied it to solid state in the early 60s and have ever s... | |
| MC352 into varying-load speaker? The autoformer doesn't work like Sean thinks it does.. Mcintosh output transformers are bifilar wound which is a complex technique used to nearly eliminate the inductance associated with the wire. We use it in the lab for special EMI filters (diff... | |
| McIntosh MC206 and MX134 One of the few HT demo experiences I really liked was with the MX132 and MC7205 playing some ML electrostats. It was very impressive. It wasn't as good as the ML no.40 setup but it was 25% of the cost too. The Mc are really nice and if you want se... | |
| MC352 into varying-load speaker? Better off with the autoformer than not. The 352 will be much more powerful than the 6500. Arthur | |
| Which Preamp would match my system? I would go for the Passion preamp. That way you are sure you are getting everything from your very fine amplifier - and they match as a bonus. Arthur | |
| hi I'm italian The italians here also speak english for people like you, Lrsky. They wouldn't want to make you feel ignorant. | |
| House Amperage vs Stereo Amperage Don't confuse average power with peak power. Peak power comes from caps and can be more than 15 amps but you are playing really loudly by that point. Average power will be A LOT lower -hard to say exactly because it depends on lots of variables. A... | |
| Mcintosh meter bulbs My power meter bulbs weren't soldered on my MC7200. It was a 10 minute job. |
