| Can I Pair Audio Reseach Ref 3 w/ the McIntosh MC2505 Poweramp? I was also considering biamping the 2505 with another 2505, and using the c2300/2500 to feed signal to both power amps Why would you take the weakest link in your system and add another 2505? The 2505 was Mac's first solid state design, and the... | |
| Cardas Phono Cartridge If you send it to Benz, be prepared to purchase an interim cartridge as turnaround is very slow. It's a Benz Ruby cartridge is a myrtle wood shell. | |
| Kimber Monocle X As a former owner of the XL, you can do much better at retail prices. They are not bad cables but it all comes down to "what is a great price" | |
| Warm-up time for amps and preamps My manufacture recommends 30 minutes for optimal performance and I agree with their assessment. Both my pre and power amps also have a standby switch which I use for short periods when away from the system. | |
| Can I Pair Audio Reseach Ref 3 w/ the McIntosh MC2505 Poweramp? Sorry, IMHO the 2505 is not one of Mac's better efforts. Matching a high end pre will not make the Mac 2505 any better, but only highlight it's shortcomings. You may taking a big step backwards. | |

| Vinyl temperature Cartridge suspensions are designed to work best at room temperatures. A chilled platter would cause the ambient temperature to drop significantly below the cartridge's optimal operating conditions. | |
| Cary SLP-03 pre-amp: Does it need better tubes than stock to sound its best??/ I am a big fan of Cary and have a lot of respect for their products, but in IMHO and experience, the SLP-03 is not a very good performer even taking into account it's modest price point. You would be much better off looking at a Cary SLP-98 | |
