| Jerry Garcia’s McIntosh amp @doug714 - I'm absolutely with you - 1977 was their best year. I've been a fan for nearly 40 years, and was introduced to their music in my mid-teens. Great to know there's still broad and deep interest in the treasure they created over the years.... | |

| Tube Pre amp with tone control suggestions As a couple of others have already, I'll also throw in my recommendation for the Luxman CL-38. I bought the standard version a few years ago and liked it so much I bought the SE version. Both models sound beautiful in my systems, and are well with... | |

| McIntosh C2700 or Luxman L38uC I bought a Luxman CL-38u a few years ago and liked it so much I recently grabbed a CL-38uSE. Both models are very quiet in my systems and have outstanding phono preamps for both MM and MC carts. I haven't tried the McIntosh MC2700 but can vouch di... |
