| McIntosh Mc-500 I don't know of any aftermarket company that does that. McIntosh will do it but it takes 6-7 months as it has something to do with the silk screening of the glass process. I would check with Audio Classics, they would know if anybody does, As... | |
| Vintage tube suggestions I second the NOS Mullard CV4004. An excellent rich sounding tube. | |
| ARC Ref 75SEs - great with Wilson or Dynaudio speakers. What about Vandersteen 2CI? Having owned 2ci speakers for many years, I would say yes. | |
| altec Model 19’s and ss integrated The 100wpc McIntosh MA5200 won't give you the classic McIntosh house sound. That model does not use the output transformers which gives that classic sound. | |
| Triton Reference Review On my T references, I used the following amps: Odyssey Stratos Extreme+++ 160wpc amp, Conrad-Johnson MF2550 250wpc, and McIntosh MC152 amp 150wpc. I kept the McIntosh and sold the other two. To my ears, the sound is just right.I would also keep... | |
| Be Careful! I bought a 3 inch square anti-static mat that connects to the ground on the wall outlet. It is amazing how much static you can build up just getting off the couch. Best 15.00I ever spent. | |
| Groneberg cable good? In my system with McIntosh electronics, the Gronebergs are the clear winner compared to MIT, audio art, Kimber and Monster. | |
| Need some Speakers with sensitivity >90db I would say either the Tektons or the ZU Audio. The Tektons will come in for less $$$ and seem to have a big following. | |
| who is using the Rogue RP-5 (or RP-1/RP-7) Phono pre? The phono section of my previously owned Rogue RP-5 bettered the John Curl phono section that was in my Audible Illusions Modulus 3B preamp ($3995 retail). However, my McIntosh C2500 phono section is better than both of them. | |
| power cables where do I start? Why not have Klaus make up some cables for you? Their synergy with his equipment and the Groneberg cables is great. Your amp is wired with the Groneberg cables so the power cord would be a natural extension of it. You can post a message on Odys... | |
| My wife is at it again......... I loved your wifes postings, happy to see her back. | |
| Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK? "Almost nobody seems to make integrateds with all the modern stuff like digital inputs, and a power output of 200 watts or more."My McIntosh MA6600 integrated outputs 200wpc. | |
| VAC Phi 300.1a Single Channel Ground Loop Hum "My son will be thrilled (lol) to have to move that beast from the rack."That is what our kids are for. | |
| peachtree amp vs. traditional amp The Peachtree is a Class D amp which requires a digital power supply. They do not generate much heat and do not have many parts so the boxes are quite small. Most of the other amps are Class AB which means more parts and heat. Personally, I do ... | |
| Esoteric N-05 Network player vs Bricasti M1SE with network card @essrand Did you not see the OP specifically said that he is ONLY interested in the two DAC's he mentioned, no others? It seems to me he has narrowed it down to those 2 specific units. |
