| Vintage Mac vs. Modern Amps? McIntosh SS 'sauce' is to do nothing to the signal, that was my experience. I used a McIntosh SS Pair for years. Amp: MC2250; preamp: C28. Decided to go back to tubes, sold both on eBay,AMPI chose a used Cayin Tube amp, A88T, 45 wpc, plenty fo... | |
| Amplifier knobs...where to "set" on the clock? McIntosh advised me to leave my former SS MC2250 (measured accurately at 305 wpc by them) set at MAX (seems a heck of a lot doesn't it), and then send/pass less from the preamp. SS amp was dead quiet at any volume setting.Volume (less gain) needed... | |
| Are there any preamps that can work with 2 amps and a sub woofer? Is your sub self-powered? If not, I would advise selling it and getting a self-powered sub with built-in equalizer.Sub receives l and r from pre-amp, takes the low bass, sends only upper bass, mids, highs out to amp. Importantly it's volume is con... | |
| Help me complete my stereo system (Harbeth, ClearAudio Concept). Speakers, without a doubt are the most important choice, they will be the ’sound’ of your system. Everything else will be small refinements, heard or imagined.You may love the sound of those speakers, however I advise you to keep on looking before... | |

| How Do You Store Your Record Collection? Recommendations Please! I forgot to mention: I left the wood cases behind, took only the shelves with dividers. I put the library shelves on top of rolling wire shelf units. If you can find shelves with dividers, and you leave the extra 3/4 - 1" height clearance, you can... | |
| How Do You Store Your Record Collection? Recommendations Please! lets start with the fact that low shelves suck.next, damage prevention: you want to avoid too much wear on the bottom edges, or banging the corners getting them in/out. Too tight will result in label edge damage, and circular impressions into the ... | |
| biamping with 75 watt solid state and 18 watt tube amp.klipsch rp600m...t lets start with the specifics of what you already own.IMO, It is very close to absurd for Klipsch to provide for biamping on these speakers. It must be for someone who is in love with a very low powered tube amp, i.e. 2, 3 wpc, 8 wpc.18 wpc is act... | |

| enough amplifier power I primarily encourage higher efficiency speakers to allow trying tubes. A bigger SS amp is primarily a function of money. Weight, size, reduced placement options: potential torn meniscus or herniated disk hazards.Smaller tube amp saves money, less... |
