| Downsize from C2200/MC275 to integrated SS You don't REPLACE a McIntosh C2200 and MC275 you acquire them! Dont even think about it. You will be disappointed at what it costs to get worse sound :-( Matt M | |
| What do you care about in this hobby? It was always about the MUSIC first, then the desire to have that music in a room playing as if the group was there in front of me. I grew up around a lot of stereos of all prices, so much of it wound up needing repairs after a few short years of ... | |
| They should charge more for it… Well if The Absolute Sound says its a wonderful turntable we all should get one! ....O boy! The Obsolete Sound as i like to call it is not very neutral when it comes to these reviews, in fact they are quite biased toward the advertisers, and any m... | |
| Looking to Develop A Short List of Amplifier Candidates For A Pair Of JBL 4367 Speakers I really dont think people come to the forums to hear advice from CHAT GTP! Gimmie a break! Anyone can do that! People want real life advice from those who know, at least that’s what this site has always been about, I hope this isn’t the... | |
| Phono cartridge choice I owned a MP-200 and listened to it for many months,very nice music on my REGA P3, I also had a Clear Audio Maestro Ebony v2 on a Project Xtension 10. Honestly though, MM's dont work well for me (to warm and velvety) so I am a MC guy I finally rea... | |
| Qobuz vs Airplay And YES do not Airplay anything. | |
| Qobuz vs Airplay I have tried both Tidal and Qobuz using my Aurender X100L music streamer connected via USB audio to a Oppo BDP 105. I can safely say that Qobuz does sound very good (the best) but Tidal has a way better selection and a lot if not the majority of t... | |
| JA Michell Turntable I found a great place for JA Michell parts and Tables, its called The Listening Room out of Chesterton Maryland. I was able to talk to a real person, How rare! Thank you All for the help. Matt M | |
| KT88 Tube Recommendation - Mac MC275 I agree with Stereo5. Whatever your hearing that is undesirable, its probably not the tubes. I would hook the amp up to something different and see if the problem persists. | |
| Have some fun with bookshelf monitors!! Why bother with that NAD? KEF makes a pair of book self speakers where you only need to add a source (LS50W) they have built in 230watt amps on each speaker! and digital and analog inputs galore! Bluetooth, Airplay, Wifi, Ethernet even a USB audio... | |

| At an upgrade path fork in the road Thats funny because of all the gear you have I Honestly think its the Prima Luna holding your system back. The PL is good but its too warm and lush and velvety sounding , I recommend auditioning at least three pre amps in your system, this will br... | |

| Looking to Develop A Short List of Amplifier Candidates For A Pair Of JBL 4367 Speakers I wouldnt hesitate to pair them with a 75wpc McIntosh MC275 tube amplifier. Also, you could go with a Clean 200wpc solid state amp. To tell you the truth these are super easy speakers to drive. You will find that the speaker will open up and be wa... |
