Need help on McIntosh meters
I am not going to get into a shouting match over this, more important things for me to worry about.   Have a nice day.

Like I said clearthink,  grow up.  No need to mock me or anyone else.  I could tell you a good place for my foot besides the meters but I won’t stoop to your childish level 
What would you buy
Thank God we have millercarbon here to school all of us Audio no-nothings. Over 50+ years in the hobby and I still don’t know as much as him!   I am surprised there wasn’t a link to his system again.

@clearthink,just what is your problem?  You contributed nothing here except your usual BS. Grow up.

just a thought, try flicking the meter face with your finger, I did that on another McIntosh piece and it brought the meter back to life.  I got my meter from Audio Classics but I think they are closed until the NY Governor says its ok to open again. 
Who has a McIntosh C70 anniversary preamp? Thoughts?
When I bought my C2500, the only reason I didn't get the C2600 was because It did not have a processor loop which I need.  I am very happy and I am only using the stock tubes.  The DAC module is something I do not use.  You can't go wrong with any...

Who has a McIntosh C70 anniversary preamp? Thoughts?
There is a thread at Audio Aficionado regarding this preamp.  You also may like to consider the C2500, C2600 and C2700.  All are tube preamps with bass and treble controls.  My C2500 blows away the Rogue RP5 preamp I previously had.  I believe you... 
what's the point?
with Class AB amps too much power is never too much.  I have found that 300wpc in my living room is just right for my speakers and what I listen to.  
What would you buy
30wpc is not enough to make the Vandersteens sing.  Call Johnny R @ Audio Connections.  The Belles Aria integrated drove the Vandersteens with real authority when I was at his shop last year.  Johnny will be able to match your speakers to the amp ... 
Can anyone identify this speaker cable?
Looks DIY to me. 
what's the point?
@millercarbon,Did we get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? 
Odyssey Kismet Reference series.
They are NOT biased for your speakers, Klaus sets the bias based on the voltage coming out of your outlet which he asks you to check prior to his building the amps.  People need to get their facts straight instead of passing the wrong information. 
Coiling excess Speaker cable, is this a problem?
This has been discussed many times before.  You should not coil the excess wire. 
what's the point?
looks like looks like someone is trying to get a rise out of us.
