Mac C2300 vs Aesthetix Calypso/Rhea?
Thanks Mtdking for your honesty and openness. Just to let you know I do not use balanced cables in my current system. Only RCA.Rick(RWD) 
RIP J Gordon Holt
I learned of his passing while on vacation. He was a gift to us all! My prayers...to his family. I wonder what system he is putting together up there? Hey?? 
Antique Labs Hurricane DT
HI!Is you amps the originals? I also had the original Hurricanes and had the same problems with them. I finally decided on two pair of McIntosh 275's instead. I would suggest that if you love the 'canes (and they are quite good) you upgrade them t... 
Questions about the McIntosh C2300
Thanks all for your response.Downunder, no I have not heard it. I might though in the near future but the best way to test a new product is to bring it home with you and do an in-house side by side test.Rick (RWD) 
Hurricane DT
I had an original pair of Hurricanes myself (loved them. Is yours the newer version?This has happened to me a number of times in the past and since I an not a tech type of person I had to have the amp serviced. I hope someone here can advise you o... 
MC275 Tube Rolling...
I have re-tubed almost all of the smaller tubes (12ax7's and 12at7's) with telefunkens. I was a bit skeptical about how much sound improvement I would get but I certainly did hear a better difference. While waiting for a second set of tubes for my... 
infinity 1b's- should i go tubes for top end???
Hi Mapman......not a risky situation of mixing tubes with SS amp on these speakers. I have heard 3 RS 1-B systems and they all used SS on bottom and tubes on top. Just need to follow the instructions when connecting the amps to the crossover. Infi... 
infinity 1b's- should i go tubes for top end???
Hi Tom...the ARC V100ll was quite good. Clear, clean articulate. I went to a ASL Hurricane for more power and I got it, although I do not listen at a very high level but the ASL gave me a greater stage and easy of sound. The problem I had with the... 
infinity 1b's- should i go tubes for top end???
Can you borrow a Tube amp from a dealer or friend?I have a pair of Infinity RS1-B's and have always used tubes on the mids/tweeters. Infinity always recommend this speaker to be driven that way. Holt and Person also suggested tubes as well.I have ...

Anyone using two McIntosh 275's in bridged mono?
I have 2 MAC 275 mkV amp and I have them in mono running the top end on my Infinity RS1B's. My Infinity's are 4 ohm on the top and have been powered by an ARC100 mkll @ 100wpc and a Hurricane DT200 @200wpc. I would have to say that the more power ...

Thank you 
Raven AC one motor
I also have the Raven AC (one motor) and agree with Downunder.I tried the Millenium may on and off. I like it on. I also tried the mat with the felt side up and the smooth side up. Both work well however I think this is where it becomes "fine tuni... 
Mcintosh amp IV or V
I have the V but never heard the lV. When I first got into audio many yeras ago one of my forst systems was based upon McIntosh gear. I had a C28 pre-amp and a 2505 power amp. I sold them because I relied upon the "mags" that said Mac gear was not... 
Gain versus volume
Yes...my Rhea is very quiet. So as I understand this....gain and volume are both the "same"....correct?Thanks for helping understand.
