| Solid State Power Amps I’ve used McIntosh MC 611 600 W mono amps. I think a pair goes for 15,000. In the solid state world these amplifiers perform extremely well. And amplifier is reliable. If I was planning to spend more money I would definitely pursue a tube amplif... | |

Don’t understand why he doesn’t clean the front Chrome panel in the front because it’s all smudged up. It could look a heck of a lot better Do it with A microfiber ... | |
| McIntosh tube upgrade - worthwhile? As a reminder this thread is about whether tubes on a Macintosh amp makes sense to change. It's not a marketing opportunity to sell tubes. It may turn out that it doesn't really matter what tubes you use in a McIntosh amplifier. The amplifier s... | |
| McIntosh tube upgrade - worthwhile? @wbs Thanks I looked for it and actually ordered it. Any chance you could share what might've been said about amplifiers effect tubes and anything else about the depth of info they go in to about McIntosh amplifier. | |

| Gain Setting impact on AV processor DSP Quality? So what you mean is volume is changed when the amplitude changes. I always thought gain was different from volume. It's more of a voltage change to the signal which leads to distortion if you increase it too much. Lots of people confuse gain and... | |
| why expensive streamers Lumin x1 streamer/dac is awesome. I had a separate dac but I found integrating it with a streamer at least in this component was a great idea. It also has an optical connection. And a separate power supply which I think is really nice to have. ... | |
| Audio Research versus McIntosh tube amps: anyone experience or compare both? I'd be concerned about maintenance on an audio research product longer-term. Would recommend buying from a dealer if used. McIntosh is reliable and built like a tank and sounds really good and is not midfi. Would encourage you to get better tube... | |
| Gain Setting impact on AV processor DSP Quality? @blisshifi Thank you for another awesome response. Are you equating gain with volume? I always view gain and volume separate but many people tend to say gain when they mean volume. | |
| Gain Setting impact on AV processor DSP Quality? @blisshifi Awesome comment actually learned a few things. A lot more going on Beyond just comparing curves I guess.
