Mac 275 questions........
Yes Chiroman, we will have to compare our finding when we get both amps up and running. My 1st map will be in this Saturday (Jan 5th). The second should be in a week or so latter. This will give me some time to evaluate the 1 versus 2 amps etc. Wh... 
Mac 275 questions........
Neil, thanks for the heads-up with regard to tubes on the 275. However, this is the first time that I have heard of failures (tubes blow up) from McIntosh? I totally agree that better tubes will probably improve (change?) the sound but I hope I am... 
Mac 275 questions........
Hi Neil, Thanks for the response. Which tubes are you referring to...the KT88's? What do you recommed? I have someone who works in NY for a tube dealship so I might be able to get some new tubes at a savings. Your comments are valuable! 
Any new record cleaning products?
Thank's Lucas......I recall it being a two step process. I'll have to review it and see. I suppose I must take a closer look at what the rest of us recommend (Cello?) and investigate. Rick (RWD) 
Any new record cleaning products?
Hi all!I prefer not to start a new thread and saw this so I thought I'd ask my question here. Does anyone remember the products that Michael Fermer uses (or used) to clean his records? I recall him using Disc Doctor as the first step and then remo... 
Bass--How much is too much?

Paladin, isn't the new Elispa similar to the Amati? Although the Amati has (I believe) 2 woofers and the Elispa has one?RWD (Rick) 
McIntosh MC402
I have a Calypso (Asthetix) per amp. Would that mate well with the Mac M402?? MAC10...I'd like to hear from you as well as anyone else.RWD (Rick) 
McIntosh - is it that great?
Dbarger, this is the second recommendation I have read about McIntosh solid state amps-especially the 402. I too am interested in the MC275 amp. I have the old Infinity RS 1-B's that have ALWAYS been powered with a tube amp on the mids and tweeter... 
McIntosh MC275 vs MC2102
Hi Jamnesta, the MC 275 can also be bridged for up to 150 wpc (many say up to 190wpc!!). 
Kind of Blue........blue vinyl........
Ahhhh, great comments by all. I must say I am a bit embarrassed by your candor and honesty. I suspect all in favor of me keeping the record because it was a "gift"-your right. I think I'll plan a special night and "break the seal"!Rick (RWD) 
Recommended tubes for ASL Hurricanes?
