Matching power amp for Melos SHA-1 preamp?
Whether you realize it or not you have an excellent headphone pre amp combination. I owned one for years and to date it still stands close to the top of my preamp list. One of of the great things about this preamp is that it uses an Alps black bea... 
Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!!

Acoustic Signature customer service

Inherited 21 piece of vintage McIntosh and need help building a system
You are a very lucky man. You have some nice tube pieces and the MC60 and 240 are prized amps. Keep them. 
Bad experience with Red Dragon Audio
