| Commens on the McIntosh MR7083 AM-FM tuner I liked the 7083 sonicly. The 7084 would interface with your 6900 if remote control is important. Its sound is very good and should sell for $700-800. If remote doesn't matter, get the 7083. Good Luck. | |
| Krell --- Are the Newer designs better? I love tubes also. I have a couple of systems and the Krell KSA 250 stayed with me for over 6 years. Prior to that I owned a 300s for a year and a fpb 300 for 6 weeks. I kind of worked backward from their line development, but the 250 is the one I... | |
| Recommendations for int amp with headphone jack I'll second the Portal Panache. Tremendous bang for the buck. | |
| Fun with audio My friend had a Basset hound that had to have a steel rod put in his penis. "Sparky" was a great dog. | |
| Best Integrated amp for under 4k Try to give the Panache, by Portal Audio, a listen. | |
| Mcintosh Pre-amp The volume control is different. The 42's is like the C100 & C200. I like seeing the numerical readout and being able to duplicate any spl. I read you had the 352/42 combo. Here's a fun thing to do. Set the 352 meters to "hold". Change the dis... | |
| What happened with the BASS? MC352/C42/B&WN803 You say you changed the IC from the pre to amp. If you went to balanced, you need to flip the switch on the back of the 352. I had the 42/352 combo. It's very good. I wouldn't be suprised if the Onkyo was a little riper in the bass. It's a little ... | |
| McIntosh and Thiels What taps are you using on the Mac? | |
| McIntosh C2200 Pre-Amp I would get the Mac. After you have lived with it, you will be glad you did. | |
| Upgrade recommendation. Richard Gray or Mcintosh. You will be impressed with the 42.Do you have the 352 plugged directly into the wall? | |
| Crossover needed for subwoofers, or not? Your c100 and 352's are fully balanced. I would run balanced cables between them and rca's to the sub, out of output 1. I have done just that with my 100 and sometimes I just hit the button on the remote to a/b the sound with,without sub. If you r... | |
| McIntosh and Autoformers. . .? I like the autoformer. I've owned some nice Krell and Levinson, but after listening to the Mac I hear a slight ocillation in those, mostly on strings and voices. I never noticed it before and it is slight. I think it is due to the AF, as it presen... | |
| The new Mcintosh MC 402 Regarding the meters: try a mono source like a record or FM station or maybe your pre has a mono button, put your meter switch on hold and turn the volume to different positions and note the meter readings. |
