McIntosh C22 Unsolved Problem - for techs/smart guys/EEs Does the C22 have a three prong power cord? What I mean is that , this could be a ground problem. I kept thinking it was a piece of my tube gear as well..(it wasn't) Are you using multiple components plugged into a few different wall outlets?? If... | |
Do they make a quiet great sounding phono pre amp?? OK, I hear what you guys are saying about using the cheater plugs. So, I removed them.... I surely had a ground problem, after I changed my plugs around I was able to kill the noise and no more popping!! I plugged everything into a cheap groun... | |
Do they make a quiet great sounding phono pre amp?? Hello everyone, After much snarling and growling and talking to different people I was able to place two 3to2 adapters on all components EXCEPT the main amplifier, I think by doing this the system is now funneling the grounds down to the one outle... | |
Do they make a quiet great sounding phono pre amp?? The Tech at Manley is trying to say that I am experiencing "static discharge" from my turntable. I have 3 turntables a Thornes TD160 w/Grado prestige woodbody, Rega P3 w/Dynavector 10X5 and groovetracer upgrades, Project Xtension 10 w/Dynavector 2... | |
Sonic Frontier Line 3 vs McIntosh C2500 Beautiful system! I really think that you would love the McIntosh....But I would give another one a look... the Manley Labs Jumbo Shrimp is great for injecting a lot of rich organic earthy quality with a real palpable sense and a huge soundstage w... | |
Can I use a step up transformer? Thank you all for responding. I knew I would learn some things by asking this question and I sure have from these responses. I really like the idea of not adding an additional component and more cables. Also, Things are dead quiet right now at the... | |
Turntable Options SKIPK , It is paramount that the VTA adjustment needs to be changed on the REGA for use with a Dynavector 10X5 (what audio guru are you using? fire him!), so that the rear of the cartridge is up away from the record and the cartridge has a more fo... | |
Dazed and Confused - Upgrading System But Too Many Options! Treebeard, do yourself a big favor, get a great sounding integrated amp and then look at a Aurender N100 music player (or whatever your budget will allow, Aurender gives you great selection), there ya go! two pieces of gear! AND your hearing some ... | |
difussor's Be careful here my friend....Too much front wall damping will kill the life of your sound, having a little "bounce" or "Liveliness" is a good thing! Lacking clarity in the system is from the bass crossed over to high so as to muck up the main spea... | |

Turntable Options A used REGA P3 or RP3 would be the answer. But, the cost of a cartridge is going to get in the way, so find a used deal that includes a cartridge with the table,if possible. With a REGA table you could mount a $100 Ortofon 2M Red or go all the w... | |
Cartridge for Clearaudio Concept TT The 10X5 has a lot of JUMP factor. Its a lively sound and not at all edgy or harsh. Sure it was a steal back at $400 in 2012. Everything Vinyl has increased in price. Check the used market for one, or pay $350 more for a High output 20X2. Either w... | |
Cartridge for Clearaudio Concept TT The Dynavector 10X5 will blow you away! dont hesitate buy it! 2 YEARS AGO THAT CARTRIDGE WAS SELLING FOR $450! I upgraded to a 20X2 and I kept my 10X5 its so good I cant let it go. It will be the best upgrade your system has ever had! trust the Dy... | |
Bookshelf speakers on a budget Audio Engine makes some of the best sounding small speakers for around $250.00-$500. And they are self powered! just connect a source and your good to go. http://www.whathifi.com/audioengine/a2/review. Also, check out the Audioengine A3.Matt M | |
Advice on what preamp to select. OK so getting back to the original posts question. The answer would be a Adcom 565 pre amp, if you can find one, they are a steal at $300 or less ( a great sounding unit for the money). I think the best Tube based preamp like a Audio Research woul... |
