| Integrated with good preamp & pre out Thanks for all the responses. I have had other Marantz equipment back in the 70s and it was mostly solid. Wish I had held onto some of the receivers...good sound and sort of eye candy. Felt I had to go to separates and switched. At the time I work... | |
| Review: Audio Experience Music MK3 Tube preamp I got one of these off EBay for a couple hundred. I upgraded the tubes and used it for a coupe years with different amps. I liked it a lot for similar reasons as the other reviewer. It did run hot which was an issue in HI, the exposed tubes were a... | |
| Review: Luminous Audio Axiom Preamplifier I got one of these off Ebay for $60 in 2011. I use it often and as I have gone through preamps keep coming back to it. It sounds best with my McIntosh MC250, a warmer amp. It is clean and the sound is transparent to me...interesting as it is not "... | |
| reco speaker cables for Ohm Walshes? I tried Home depot 12 gauge on a lark. $10 plus another $10 for banana plugs. Sound got much cleaner, extended lows and highs and more detailed. Pretty wild. Going to live with it for a bit and then we will see. Probably upgrade ICs first as those... | |

| McIntosh MC240 Question I have an Mc250 which is I think the solid state version of yours. I too have 2 gain controls which enable me to use a preamp,active or passive or go direct from a CD. I have always interpreted the gains as being like volume pots and used them tha... | |
| Boulder has full page ad in Du-pont registry As a professional marketer, I would bet that there is a high correlation between folks who buy high end cars and high end audio. They may merely be rich or just like fine things as opposed to being audiophiles but their money is still good. One of... | |
| Memories........What made you catch the Audio Bug? At 14 I was an aspiring musician and music junkie. Got a pt job at a new record store in my nbhood. Did anything from a to z all to buy music at discount. The owner liked good audio and nice cameras introduced me to both including McIntosh, Marant... | |
