| CJ MF2550 Replacing the power amp fuss Please tell us how you blew all the fuses? I had a MF2550 (I didn’t care for it) for 8 months or so in 2017 and never blew fuses. The interior build quality of the CJ is very high. Did you have a dead short or something? | |
| Rockport owners. While I never owned Rockport, I got to hear the Arrakis at Godwin’s High End and let me tell you it was the best I ever heard. While I am not sure on the electronics as it was 8 years ago, I believe it was all Spectral Electronics with a Berlkey D... | |

| Selecting Preamp for MC452 amp seeking most enjoyable experience possible in price range I have a smaller Mac amp, an MC302 married to a Mac C2500 tube preamp. The sound is heavenly. If you don’t need the latest DAC, a newer McIntosh C2600 can be bought for around $4500 and the C2700 which is their newest model at 7K. Almost every ... | |
