Calling all MC275 MK IV owners..............
I use a C2200 into the MC275 1V and it is a killer, another way you may want to try is getting a VTL 2.5 tube preamp, if you don't need phono they are pretty inexpensive new and less here on the Gon. the 2.5 into the Mac is also a great combo.

EL 34 vs. KT 88 ---- What's the difference?
hello, good question here sounds simple, but i don't think it is. I think it really depends on the speaker. I think most people would say the EL34 gives you more of the tube thing, while kt88 or 6550s give more control and better bass. Back to the...
