| Keep C47 or change to a Mac tube preamp? Well I have C11, C20, Mx110, MX120, C2500. Here is the deal. 220-2300 don’t have a Dac. The 2500 does. The C20 I have will just whip the pants off most of the newer gear. The MX120 has one of the best stereos and 3.? speaker setup you can use. Tru... | |

| How much lead and silica sand in speaker stands? Buy 5 pounds of sand and pack it in, a 4 pound stand... That will definitely be enough.. :-)Pea gravel, is actually the best. Very, VERY, little settling, and sand you tamp, and it has to be dry.. Lead, well it is not to toxic, unless you breath i... | |

| Do pure copper banana plugs make a difference in the quality of the speaker sound. Bare wire unless you want to change something.. Most folks know different terminal ends and HOW they are attached make a pretty big difference in SQ. Especially if they are loose and open air. Time will change that connection. Silver gets better... | |
| Put that in your pipe(s) and smoke it Hmmm! Think I’ll take the high road. I think..There is no left and or right... only the top 1/10 of one (1) percent and all the rest. That’s you and me.. 99.9 %. It’s the top and bottom, not the left and right. Neither the left or the right can co... | |

This pair though, they were made for each other Though I'm REALLY liking the Cary V12r, I've been tinkin' with over the last year. This is out of 45-50 different power amps, and preampsThe speaker, I currently... | |
| Marantz 240 amp Funny there are those out there.. I try not to tempt the "gremlin factor"No 666, no 13, 1313, or 131313. :-)Regards | |
| Marantz 240 amp https://www.manualslib.com/manual/898971/Marantz-240.htmlThere is the service manual. Serial number is just that, a serial #. Looks like a 240b # 3317 of the production line.. Just so you know it wasn’t uncommon for manufactures to start at someth... | |
