| Connections? He means any input like cd, dvd, tv, etc on the receiver that you are using as a preamp. I do the same thing with my vinyl and garage setup. Any input but phono. | |
| Determining exact power being sent to your speaker What rrog said. I started a thread about that exact same thing with an old Realistic power meter and was so surprised I was only using a watt or two listening at a decent volume. | |
| Hooked up an old realistic power meter My speakers are PMC and always read that they are hard to drive and need lot's of juice but am now rethinking it. All my amps are getting really up there age wise and have been looking at replacing the main one just to be spending some of the gran... | |
| Returns One of the reasons I asked is certain products like say the McIntosh MC152 for example never has an open box for sale that Ive seen and I'd say that some have mostly likely been returned? | |
| Returns Thanks mulveling, and that makes sense since I know they sell "open box' stuff at a discount. | |
| Hidden Gems in Classic Rock Albums Love this thread and thanks to whom ever posted about Bowie's "Cracked Actor". Forgot how much I loved that song. There is an internet radio station called Desert Underground that plays obscure classic rock and came across a Tom Petty song worth ... | |
| Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet? The way I see it, if you spend a bunch on cables it HAS to sound better right? | |
| Somewhat obscure Mcintosh amps. Ok and thanks Roxy. I haven't read to much about that only the "auto-transformers". | |
| Somewhat obscure Mcintosh amps. Roxy, BTW, what didn't you like about it if you don't mind saying please? I read that same thing Elliott and it sound and looks like from the pics of the back, you can configure any channel in mono mode to output the 275 per channel vs 80. I only... | |
| Maybe buying a different amp Thanks to you both. | |
| Maybe buying a different amp Thanks for the and ideas and replies. Traveling very far is out of the question right now hence why I stated that I'm basically relying on reviews and posts from audio enthusiasts like yourselves. I have read quite a bit about some of the amps li... | |
| Maybe buying a different amp MC352 and I've been using a B&K and I figured on spending up to 5k new or used. There isn't much available in my area to visit and hear and mostly go by online reviews and threads on this forum for ideas. | |
| Power cord - 5 ft vs 10 ft ? I personally like Jason's posts, always succinct and to the point. There is always so much pseudoscience involved with Hi-Fi it's hard to figure out what is actually real and what's not. I'm a firm believer in the fact that 1, 2, or 3, meter cor... | |
| More Bass My speakers are similar to yours in specs anyway and since I'm a bass lover and rarely use my sub, I just use the tone controls on my pre-amp and get all the bass I want and can handle. Problem solved. I personally don't believe in speaker "break... | |
| what cd player ? I bought a used Marantz SA-14 back in 2003 that is still going strong and sounds wonderful, still have an even older Denon I use with the den system and also have an old Rotel in the garage that is nice and has been bullet proof. Lots of nice old... |
