| TUBE BIAS, socket to me! skypunk I would like to hear a Raven tube amp. Do you live near central NJ?Trust me, the sound of my 16 ohm speakers is no loss.And, there is less distortion from an amp’s 16 ohm tap.https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/16-ohm-speakers-any-amp-s... | |
| Hiss from speakers that increases as loudness control is decreased not easy, they will stay clean a long time nowyour C27 jacks are further apart, much easier to clean. one of the changes from prior C26 which had tightly spaced jacks like minehttp://www.roger-russell.com/c26pg.htm#c27http://www.berners.ch/McIntos... | |
| TUBE BIAS, socket to me! skypunkyou haven't been paying full attention, I need 16 ohm taps, the only Cayin with 16 ohms is the original version, with internal bias adjusters.Raven looks nice, but no 16 ohm taps | |

| TUBE BIAS, socket to me! tyray I just bought that used McIntosh mx110z tube tuner/preamp in June 2019, a purchase of love but not a long held piece. I sold my McIntosh SS Preamp C28 and McIntosh SS2250 to switch back to tubes.I have avoided upgrades fairly well, primar... | |
| Integrated Amp Question for a Newbie to the Forum those speakers do look very nice, I imagine sound terrificI have three reservations1. rear port. are you able to keep the speakers far enough away from rear wall, to avoid muddy reflected bass?2. sensitivity 88 db/1w/1m. I always prefer higher eff... | |
| Hiss from speakers that increases as loudness control is decreased While it is being serviced, have them thoroughly clean those old rca jacks: Those old McIntosh jacks are close together, hard to clean, and not gold plated, subject to corrosion. My vintage McIntosh Preamp mx110z (from the 1960’s). I was in a hurr... | |

| AV Receiver Upgraded Looks to be an awesome unit, highly respected sound quality, the cons were only about it's complexity, which I have to assume you have mastered.I would only think about the speakers, fully satisfied? or some improvement possible?After 13 years, I ... | |
| Better Integrated Amp? IF you can find Speakers, local pick up, and can listen at seller’s, and get right to return, you will know condition, sound quality, and option of easy return without packaging/shipping. | |
| Better Integrated Amp? At that budget, I am going to suggest Vintage Receiver with Vintage Speakers (or used newer speakers) to start, and upgrade in the future.Vintage Receiver will give you several inputs, volume and balance, and MM phono built in. I also suggest gett... | |
| Better Integrated Amp? Only 30 wpc, buy speakers later? HmmmmmThat presumes you eventually buy efficient speakers, I would want more like 92 db/1w/1m. Often more efficient speakers are large, and big cabinets get expensive, as well as hard to fit.I think it is best to c... | |
