| hooking up a subwoofer to a Mcintosh MA12000 What kind of sub? | |
| McIntosh MC275VI vs Rogue Audio Stereo 100 From what I've read the 275 does benefit. The one i listened to had Gold Lion KT88 and stock tubes everywhere else. | |
| McIntosh MC275VI vs Rogue Audio Stereo 100 The Rogue definitely benefits from NOS tubes. | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? I tried the integrated route twice and went back to separates. Always felt I was missing some detail with the integrateds. | |
| McIntosh MC275VI vs Rogue Audio Stereo 100 Two totally different sounding amps. The MC275 is definitely a warmer sounding amp that has the classic tubey signature. The Rogue has more of a solid state sound while retaining the tube magic. More like a Audio Research amp. My question is what... | |
| McIntosh MC 462 My experience is separates almost always outperform and I don't see how you can go wrong with the 462/22 combo. | |

| Rogue Audio Dark Upgrade. Gakerty can you give me more specifics on the CBS 12AX7 please? Are they triple mica 5751WA or another type? I have experience with the 12au7 CBS in a Primaluna integrated amp I used to have and really liked the CBS sound. | |
| Rogue Audio Dark Upgrade. @mulveling thank you 1st and foremost with your experience and recommendations. I have a ST-100 and wondered exactly what you brought up. Would I even like the upgraded caps. Caps probably make a big difference but which one would be preferred. H... | |

| Recommendations to upgrade my amp to pair with my Sonus Faber Sonetto IIIs I would also consider a Rogue ST-100. It is pairing very well with my Olympica iii. Audio Research as mentioned above is another great choice. | |
| Sonus Faber speakers You're room is quite large so not sure the XA25 can handle that much space. Also depends on your listening levels. | |
| Sonus Faber speakers What size is your room? Given those choices I would pick the XA25. | |
| McIntosh MC-252 @bugsnest I get it 🤣 |
