| McIntosh C-2200 Burn in time? Figure a minimum of 50 hours and things should sound good by then; even better at 100 hours. THEN, start thinking about tube rolling if you can find some NOS Amperex Bugle Boy, Mullard, or Telefunken 12AX7 and 12AT7 tubes. Almost anything is bette... | |
| best speakers on AGON for about $500 Look for a pair of Von Schweikert VR1 monitors; they come up on A'Gon every now and then in your price range. See the review in Stereo Times online.All the others you mentioned could also nicley meet your criteria. | |
| Help Please....Interconnects...Silver vs. Copper? Definitely demo the JPS Labs stuff. | |
| Dynamic, deep bass tube preamp. Used Rogue 99 Magnum. | |

| How much money on speaker cable? Also check out JPS Labs, and, Analysis Plus cables. Both outstanding cables for the money although I prefer the JPS by a wide margin. | |
| Could use some help in choosing new speakers AudioGon currently has a pair of VonSchweikert VR2s in you're price range that are worth considering seriously. Outstanding speakers. Check out the reviews. I have no affiliation with the lister/seller. | |
| Best DIY tweak? Replace steel speaker driver screws with solid brass screws; dramatic results!Check out the Virtual Dynamics "Episodes" site. | |
| Monitor users, isolation? I'm using V-pads (like the Mapleshade cork/rubber thingys on top of the stand(Same effect as Herbies, but cheaper), bamboo (Cheap at Ross or TJ Maxx) cutting board on the pads and spiked speakers on top. Works great! | |
