| McIntosh Tone Controls I use a C50 (plus MC275-VI power amp) with unusual speakers; Gale GS401As. See my previous post on this system. With my setup the 8 band EQ is very useful, specifically approximately 6dB boost at 50 Hz. Works very well for me. | |

| SEEKING A NEW AUDIO RACK I purchased a Core Audio Designs rack in 2017 for my new TT based system and could not be happier with the results. Beautifully built, great to look at and superb acoustic isolation for the TT. Here is a link to the manufacturers site (I have no a... | |
