| Conflicting Mcintosh info The Warranty is good as long as you are the 1st owner (original buyer) of the unit. The dealer with the display model is correct, as long as it was not a return from another customer. RegardsMatt M | |
| Tube preamp for under $3000 IMO you should check out the Manley Labs Jumbo Shrimp it has remote and uses 3 sets of tubes (no XLR connections). Usually you can find a demo or a preowned unit for around $2200-$2500. New they cost $3800. At the used price this is an amazing dea... | |
| Solid State Amplifier Advancements In A Decade McIntosh has always been a leader in solid state amplification, and they have moved recently from the double balanced to the much more expensive quad balanced designs. I see them continuing to push the engineering forward for there solid state amp... | |
| Does alcohol impair appreciation of sound? Drinking, makes you turn the volume up a lot higher, than when your not drinking. That just proves it de sensitizes you. Hey that’s why I have Dynaudios...they love to be turned up loud! And let me tell you something .....with a great system it ... | |
| LPS for Musical Phonomena II+ "its a bit irksome that the maker only offers it with a wallwart power supply"That's because they want you to buy the Nova which has re chargeable battery operation, for $1200. Regards,Matt | |
| Integrated Amps - my first good HiFi purchase. It does not seem to me, that you are interested in a tube based integrated? Or am I wrong? If I am, I suggest you look at the Prima Luna Dialogue Premium. Also, Modwright, McIntosh, and the over looked Manley Labs Stingray, are awesome sounding in... | |
| Challenging Turn Table Setup - Help Needed I totally agree with Paraneer. You would do much better going direct from the phono preamp to your 7010's line level inputs. That's why you have a phono pre, so you can use any linestage input. Regards,Matt M | |
| Phono Interconnect Morrow Audio can supply any type of cable and they are not very expensive and sound fantastic.Matt M | |
| Best value in pre-owned preamps right now? Modwright SWL 9.0 is one of the best used deals for a gorgeous sounding tube based pre amp ($1200-$1500). | |
| new Cadenza Blue issue? I would send it back and possibly rethink my cartridge choice. FWIW, the Clear Audio Maestro Ebony v2 that I recently purchased is dead solid perfect whether playing or not. Regards,Matt | |
| Mcintosh MC402, Krell FPB 600 or Passlabs x250.5 Good call , you will love it !Matt | |
| Which stand mount sealers sound great against the Totem Sig 1's can be placed pretty close to a rear wall. Also, Epos makes a new speaker that is great for this as well. Matt | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable I spend my audio dollar mostly on equipment, rather than cables. I buy cables that allow me to feel much more connected to the music, and I dismiss the rest. I use for MY system (made up of all separate components) low to moderately priced cables.... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? The McIntosh MC352 has to be one of the best deals for anyone lucky enough to have purchased one in the last 10 years. Now, all McIntosh sells are very expensive high power 2 channel amps. | |
| Mcintosh MC402, Krell FPB 600 or Passlabs x250.5 No decision to make. Go with the McIntosh MC402! You will never regret it. |
