| Would McIntosh Auto Transformers affect speaker sound? @johnto, unfortunately, they really won’t work well with Maggie’s. The thing is, Without the auto transformers the Mac magic is gone and it’s just another solid state amp. | |
| Would McIntosh Auto Transformers affect speaker sound? I don’t care what the so called “ audio doctor” audiotroy says about McIntosh. It is a great, well built, great sounding piece of American Engineering that has a higher resale value than most other brands. It’s good enough for me and that is all... | |

| Still looking for a new Moving Coil Cartridge @westcoastaudiophile Thanks for your help. In addition to the VM540, I also acquired a Shure V15-IV with the top line Jico stylus for it. I am using it most times and it sounds amazing!!! | |
| Analysis Plus Oval 9 My Von Schweikert VR33 speakers were wired with Analysis+ speaker wire. Unfortunately. I did not care for the speakers at all due to lack of bass. I don’t know how much the cables contributed to the sound, but they were one of the worst sounding... | |
| Teac Esoteric VRDS Neo - length of rubber belts Sorry about the guy thing. I would call Esoteric and ask for the specific belts for your unit. | |
| JBL's Marketing Blunder.. @secretguy you asked who buys JBL, I do. I bought the JBL L100 Classic speakers back in December 2020 and I couldn’t be more thrilled with them. They are in a secondary system powered by McIntosh electronics and I truly love the sound. | |
| Teac Esoteric VRDS Neo - length of rubber belts I sent this guy a copy of the Esoteric service and schematics. He should be all set. | |
| McIntosh Tube Amp will not come on. Try resetting the amp. Instructions should be in the owners manual. | |
| SACD/CD Drive Mechanism Replacement I guess the Artists get screwed. What prize do I win? | |
| Any Experience with Furutech Unfiltered Power Distributors I don’t have the ones you mentioned but I use a Furutech E TP80 power conditioner which is passive. I use it in a second system with all McIntosh electronics. It is dead quiet and very dynamic | |
| Worth purchasing Accuphase P-300, C-200 and T-100? Those are early Accuphase components when they were made by Kensonic labs. I would look for a bit more recent second hand Accuphase. | |

| SACD/CD Drive Mechanism Replacement No need to worry. I bought an Esoteric SACD player with the VRDS NEO transport in 2008 and still use it a few times every week. It has worked perfectly for 16+ years. I love the player. |
