| Stupid question on Power Cords? Here's the problem (and it's NOT about 'Chinese') Digital stuff needs a shielded power cord so it won't broadcast digital RFI (hash) into the air. Your stock cord MAY be shielded (it'll say right on the cord) however, even if it is, it's still no ... | |
| Mark Levinson 26S: analog vs. digital preamplifier I will NEVER give up my 26s! Or my 25s phono pre for that matter. The only issues are the Camac inputs which require adapters, if you want to use good cables. And it doesn't have remote volume control (but my DAC does.) These are functional things... | |
| Covers on unused RCA inputs? The original reason for shorting plugs wasn't RFI but because many early preamps would make a popping sound as you rotated the selector swith past unused inputs. I haven't had (heard) that problem for a long time, but I use shorting Camacs in my L... | |
| 6550s vs kt88s for a mac 275 amp Tennis, there's some good stuff about your inquiry on the McIntosh forum at audiokarma.com.Neil | |
| To "tube" or not to "tube" I don't believe the 12AX7 does gain multiplying, but you shouldn't take my word as I'm not a tube circuit maven ;--) Check with McIntosh technical support.I know what everyone connected w/ McInt. says about tubes not making a difference. All I can... | |
| To "tube" or not to "tube" Tennis, congrats! You're going to really love that amp! The power tubes the MC 275 comes with are KT88, either Electo Harmonix (round holes in the plate) or Svetlana Winged "C" from the St. Petersburg plant (square holes in the plate.) The Penta K... | |
| To "tube" or not to "tube" Tennis, did you get a IV or a V? If a IV, I can send you some pics showing a slick way to hook up fat speaker cables. Either way, I know you'll love the amp. It's actually quieter and more detailed than many top notch SS amps -- which I don't expe... | |
| To "tube" or not to "tube" Tennis, the 275 (especially the new IV or V) is an unusual and outstanding tube amp. One, in stereo, will drive a Maggie 1.6 full range quite nicely as long as you are not going to ask it to do rock, opera, or orchestral at high volume. When you w... | |
| To "tube" or not to "tube" Hi Tennis,Let's see, you've managed to bundle quite a few topics within a short inquiry, ha HA!Addressing sonics first: Though I've not personally A-B'd those two amps in a controlled setting, I think sonic differences between them, using the same... | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? Wadia WT 2000 with TEAC P2 VRDS mechanism upgrade, via Aural Symphonics ST Optimism V.2 glass fiber cable into Wadia 27 DAC. DAC to preamp: Purist Venustas XLR. Power cords, transport = Purist Venustas, DAC = Purist Dominus.(these are upgrades fro... | |
| To "tube" or not to "tube" JB a lot of people use a pair of (mono paralleled) MC275's (150W ea.) to drive Summits. The nice thing is you could get one now and use it in stereo (they actually produce 95+ watts/ch), and add another one later and run them as monoblocks. There ... | |
| To "tube" or not to "tube" The Summits already have 400W of SS ICE amps for the subwoofers. So all you need is a MODEST powered HIGH QUALITY tube amp (for the screens). Stats and tubes are the "cat's ass," and you'll never go back once you're addicted.If I had a pair Summit... | |
| Martin Logan Summit and Classical music......... The key to electrostats is a great tube amp (I just got a new McIntosh MC275 MkIV for my CLS's and it sounds even better than my Levinson 23.5) After that, all music sounds totally real.Summits make using such a tube amp (as the Mac) easy since th... | |
| Male DIN plug on cable cooker phono adapter Ed, no my connector is just like the ones Cardas and van den Hul offer (except it's straight, not rt angle.) It's for making a DIY tonearm cable.Why doesn't Audiodharma just make an adaptor that has four colored wire pigtails that the cartridge cl... |
