| When to recap? Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Based on the consensus, I called a McIntosh service center that is about 40 miles from me. I have a Saturday morning appointment with one of their technicians to bench test the amp. The tech told me he does not... | |
| 4 speakers, 2 channel amp Mofimadness - To answer your question, I have a pair of Paradigm Titan Monitor V5s and Monitor 7 V5s. All speakers are rated at 8 ohms. | |
| Help - Listening fatigue I want to thank everyone for their help and suggestions.I took the advice about running the Paradigm's out of the 4 ohm tap of the amp. Between doing that and upgrading interconnects has made a tremendous difference. So once more thank you.I agree... | |
| What hooked you to audio? Music has some sort of hypotonic effect on me. Because of that, the better it sounds, the more "addictive" I am of it. Searching for the ultimate sound is a lifelong journey. For me the $64,000 question is, "Can one be 100% satisfied with their ge... | |
| Help - Listening fatigue Early bump... I upgraded connecting cables. Huge difference!!! | |
| 33.3 is now superior to 45 Isn't analog, analog? Meaning the faster the RPM, the more capable the sound quality? First thing that comes to mind is reel to reel. 15 IPS is superior to 7.5 hands down! While 45 RPM does not double the reproduction speed of 33 1/3, you get the ... | |

| Four channel intergrated amp? Tony - My thought process was to go with an integrated amp, as in the short term it may be cheaper than going with a preamp with amp combo. The disadvantage of course is you can't partially upgrade like you can with two separate units.I took Matt'... | |
| Four channel intergrated amp? Thanks Tony and everyone else who has responded. As you can tell I am very "green" and my terminology about four channels obviously being incorrect. Yes, I have an A/B speaker option, and can engage both at the same time. Again, I really like the ... | |
| Preamp for headphone use I sent McIntosh an e-mail regarding the output stage of the C2300, as I really have an interest in that preamp. Below is their response. I have decided (for now) to audition it at my local Mac dealer, with my HD 800s with me to make a better deter... | |
| Preamp for headphone use TYVM all for the replies. I really appreciate it. What I am learning is that a headphone amp will be in order no matter which preamp I were to buy. My OP was hoping that a high-end preamp is available to circumvent that need. Thanks to you all, I ... | |
| Polk Audio XM Radio Reciever A Winner I am very interested in purchasing the Polk XM reciever but I heard you cannot "link" that subscription to your present account, and have to open up a seperate XM account for that reciever at full price. Does anyone know if that is true? |
