| Retubing my McIntosh MC2102 I re-tubed the KT88 power tubes with SED Winged C's. While new tubes always sound better, the SEDs were a nice improvement vs. the stock McIntosh tubes. | |
| Which Record Clamp & Mat for a Garrard 301 I use a Herbie's Way Excellent II Deluxe mat on my 401 - it was quite an improvement vs. the stock Garrard mat. Also, I tried a clamp, but preferred the sound without one. Good luck... | |
| Which integrated with Harbeths and Ayre CX-7e I have a McIntosh MC2102/C2200 driving SHL5s in a large room (21 x 20) and am very pleased with the sound. Lush vocals and plenty of slam when needed. Since the Mac 2275 (75 watts)is very similar, I would think worth considering if you do not mind... | |
| Teres Owners - Please help Thanks to everyone for all the helpful suggestions. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. I'll post a follow up after the final decision! | |
| Teres Owners - Please help Thanks Outlier - appreciate your comments. I really like the looks of the 255 as well, but need to do some selling at home (the lead/acrylic platter). I looked a long time to find a rack that had a door - so the stereo could be hidden. Maybe there... | |

| Shunyata vs Richard Gray Power Co vs Chang??? Really appreciate your comments above.I'll look into the Power Wing as well!I happen to have an older LC-1 on my Naim CD player, but I didn't think it handled surges as well??? I was VERY pleased with the results after changing the stock cord. | |
| Trying Analog Again - Sugg for $2K-$4K Budget? Thanks to all for your suggestions. I have listened to several modestly priced tables the past few days (Rega & Project), and was very pleased with what I heard vs CD. I'm looking forward to hearing a few of the higher quality tables/cartridge... | |
| "Wife Friendly" full range speakers Thanks everyone for the suggestions - I am taking notes and will do some auditioning in the near future! | |
| Which Threshold amp to buy??? Glad to see someone discussing older Threshold products. I have a S250/E with FET9/E. I've owned the combo since 1994 and is the only "audiophile" amp/preamp I've ever had in my system.Lately, I've gotten the upgrade bug and have been thinking abo... | |
| Best Amp/Preamp Combo for around $6K? Thanks for all your inputs. As I suspected, no definite answers!One question for Herman - going all Naim makes me wonder about amplifier wattage. My Alon II speakers recommend 150+ watts and most Naim products are less than 100. Are Naim watts equ... |
