| McIntosh C46 makes distorting pops thru speakers My C48 can operate either way in shutdown or turn-on and theres's no noise problem. However, I'm using a Mac amp. Balanced or unbalance doesn't seem to matter. I'd do whatever way suits you best, as that's all that matters anyway. Perhaps the Para... | |
| Are you too old to be an audiophile? The main thing to remember about aging, and I'm 70, is that what really matters is how does the music sound to YOU. I was in construction all my life, can't hear above 12Khz, and yet I enjoy the music as well as I always did. Or so I think! Everyt... | |
| Manufacurers I have known.... Very nice informative thread. We need more of this kinda stuff here! | |
| Adequacy of Mac MC7300? Not all Mac amps are use the autoformers. The 7300 does, however. The MC7200 does not use them, and there are other Mac amps that do not use them, either. The 7200 puts out 200 wpc into 8 ohms, 300 wpc into 4 0hms. I personally do not like the aut... | |
| Power requirement for ADS L-1290? Now after all the raves about the 1290's, try out the 1590'2's. Now there's an awesome speaker! I own them both and will never part with them. Even better, the 1530's, although huge in size comparison, put out the best sound of any of them. I only... | |
| McIntosh Preamp Papajohn,The C48 is great! Not only good looking, but sounds great. Sound is spacious and open. Go for it! | |
| McIntosh Fans - I'm Considering an Amp Upgrade You can't go wrong with the 7200. I've had one for years, and won't consider another until Mac comes out with a similar designed direct-coupled with more power. Maybe not even then. Can you tell I like it! I've owned the 2002 also, so in my opinio... | |
| Disappointing Evening I've had similar things like this happen over the years. People want to hear your system, and after about 5 minutes, all they want to do is talk, ignoring the music. I solved that by setting up a strictly audio room with one leather recliner in it... | |
| Have you become too jaded with this hobby??? I've actually had the opposite happen, I've heard some cheap systems, and even the stereo in my truck, blow me away with the sound, to the point of wondering what in the world am I spending so much money on audio eqipment for. I enjoy my audio ays... | |
| Digital inputs in high end 2-channel preamps Well, Mitch4T, check out the McIntosh C48 and C50 pre's. They have 2 optical, 2 coaxial, and 1 USB port. I have one, and for me personally, they could've left that nonsense off. I hate paying for technology that I personally will never use. But fo... | |
| Any McIntosh C48 owners out there? Well, I actually was lucky enough to find a used C48, and my observations are very similar to Mglenn's. But the biggest thing I noticed was that the sound was very clean and very spacious as compared to my former C37, which has the same specs as t... | |

| Mt First McIntosh I understand your elation over having finally gotten Mac gear! I drooled over their gear for several years, and finally in 1978 I was able to get brand new stuff, a C32 preamp, MR78 tuner, and MC2205 power amp. I've loved their gear ever since, ev... | |
| Any McIntosh C48 owners out there? Mglenn, I just picked up a C48 as it hit Audiogon last night, so will keep you abreast of what I think of it. I'm excited to get this thing! |
