| Tube rolling on MacIntosh C2300 I have a C2300 and highly recommend Amprex Medical Grade 12 ax7s, they are extremely pricey but ultra quiet, rugged and will last for years. I’ve had mine in for 4 years and my preamp is on literally 6-7 hours a day (as a passthru in my home theat... | |
| I Am Not an Audio Snob I have never considered you an audio snob. I’ve always enjoyed your input and have agreed with you on many occasions. I’m also a Mac fan but have other components as well. Like many on this forum, I really enjoy this hobby and have since I was you... | |

| WiFi Streaming Versus An Ethernet Cable Connection Fiber optic break in a direct wired Ethernet connection. Easy to do, and cheap. I listen to quobuz and it’s as good as my local files. | |
| Home network Fibre optic vs Ethernet If you have this opportunity please do your audio system a favor go with fiber! | |
| Warranty repair wait times - serious industry problem?? Just had a C28 and a MC30 repaired by Audio Classics and in both cases it took 4 months. I know that’s vintage gear but I would expect the same with warranty items as well. Not enough techs and too much business I would assume. | |
