| Power Amp Air filter, one of the worst offenders. In a diesel/gas engine it will ruin a turbo and cause it to go through oil like a crazy too. Air filter.. yup...Under 100.00 usd on a HD diesel, 20-45.00 usd for a gas rig..Second bad fuel filters (low fuel ... | |

| Power Amp FIRST. Who makes the amp? Go from there. Certainly a problem.Power valves look a little brighter than usual?You only get so many "turn on", with a valve. The way it’s heated up has a lot to do with tube life too. The slower they come up the longer... | |
| What rock song sounds the best on your system... ZZ TOP, Viva Las Vegas. House gets to booging buddy. Heck ZZ Top.. I’m with you roxy, been a while. Beck is the bomb. I need to dig some of the early stuff up.. Rod Stewart and Beck? I think they were in the water pipe burst in the late 80s, ugly.... | |
| Are there any tube amps that don't give off any--- I see MC is up and Atom.. That's planet "Uranus", runs VERY cool, but a slight, "outhouse" smell as the day goes on..:-)NOWI don't know what your winters are like, but I swap my tube amps out in the summer for class Ds.

| Frustrated McIntosh Owner Yea OP I bet those panels do like it, I've never seen one that didn't, like a LOT of power/high current. I've heard a few that sound good, with lower watts and still sound good though.. First Watt and Pass..I love my Mac gear, I'd fill the house ... | |
| Use different speaker cables vs same cables when bi-amp I think it's bi WIRE (able) not ampable..The speakers may be either or, you have two (2) set of terminals, right.I've done it every way under the sun, bi wiring improves things sometimes.

| Family Problems... I was gonna say, maybe set her up with a CD on the system or streaming, when you're not there. Then both of you use the TT. Just make sure you're there when she uses it, and be the gentleman you are, and do it for her. :-).. Spare carts aren't c... | |
| Do you use a Subwoofer when listening to stereo? You push a button on the remote. I use an C2500, and a MX121, source vary from a TT, SDAC, CD, Stream, into MC275 and Class Ds, or Carys and Class Ds. Pure heaven... Easy as could be. Mac made a LOT of smaller monoblock... 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 75,... | |
| Does anyone mix to mono just to hear instruments in the center? A little different, maybe off subject.. BUTTrinaural processor, is why James B did it.. he was a good musician, and the reason for the analog center speaker, idea.. That’s what he told me. Something was missing? Maybe!He said, I’d have to train my... | |
| MC275 Gordon gow Haya, They don't look the same? They call it red plating. Makes no difference. Put the old valve back in and check, be aware, signal valves can cause problems too with the power valves..There is a 12ax7 in the left front corner of the signal clust... | |
