| McIntosh C2300 phono input Dear Goldorak, I want to clarify that when I was referring to running this preamp balanced, I was merely referring to how quiet the c2300 can be when doing so. The phono stage on this pre utilizes single ended connections for both the MM and MC ph... | |
| Standalone Room Correction Component Due to the fact that sometimes there are those who simply can not be civil, I will begin a new thread on the McIntosh MEN220 where anyone with an experienced opinion may join in. I find it troubling though that some are bothered by the mere presen... | |
| Standalone Room Correction Component Thanks for the clarifiction AVGoround. I wasn't aware you had planted your flag and claimed this thread as your own however I can understand now that your single entry on this topic 9 months ago must have been your claim of ownership. Its a shame ... | |
| Standalone Room Correction Component Dear Avgoround, I certainly meant no offense however I am surprised by how aggressive you appear to be. I was simply gathering that you were replying to me since the thread had been dormant for some time. I must admit that it is now quite some rel... | |
| Standalone Room Correction Component AVGoround, you must have me confused with someone else. I dont own a disc spinner, have never owned an Oppo, not that theres anything wrong with Oppo. I do agree that treatments and proper placement make a dramatic difference but they do not solve... | |
| Standalone Room Correction Component Found this old thread but after reading through some of the comments, I thought I would comment. I have heard the McIntosh MEN220 and it works superbly, better than you think. For the above commenter who discounts roomperfect, he/she hasnt heard i... | |
| McIntosh C2300 phono input The phono stage in the 2300 is quite nice. It holds its own, depending on your expectations. Your tube choice is also worth considering, the stock tubes are pedestrian. It holds its own with some very good phono stages in the $1500 range, especial... | |
| Tube rolling 12AX7As Brad, a good plan you have there and I admire your patience. Make sure and place the type of tubes in the preamp section that you want to use to flavor your system and you may wish to consider neutral tubes for your phono stage.Now, I may be setti... | |
| Tube rolling 12AX7As It takes 6 tubes, 2 each for the preamp stage, the mm phono stage and the mc phono stage. It will take 12ax7's. New old stock Telefunken 12ax7's seem to be popular however when I had mine I enjoyed new old stock Mullards. You do not have to replac... | |
| McIntosh MC275 Question The main differences are the v5 is an awesome amp with evolutionary changes, standard binding posts rather than barrier strips. The v5 has a nice damping factor and circuit boards instead of point to point wiring as in the original 275. The mc275l... | |
| Line Magnetic LM-502CA DAC & Alternatives... BCGator, trust your ears. I've heard alot of terrific DACs over the years, have owned quite a few (Berkeley, Wadia 581i, Mytek, ARC Dac 8, Playback Designs MPD3) and once you hit a certain level, the law of diminishing returns kicks in. I've heard... | |

| Accuphase E 202 rebuild - worth it? I don't own an Accuphase and never have however the E-202 integrated was a bit of a groundbreaking piece in the early 1970's. The input flexibility is remarkable with dual tape loops, dual phono stages which had adjustable sensitivity loading for ... | |
| Audio Research DSi200 with Dyns C1 Signature The ARC to which the original poster is referring is not a tube amp but a digital/switching integrated. | |
