| Mixed driver tube for Mcintosh MC275 Okay, after viewing the schematic, it is clear that V1 is not in the signal path. Then what am I hearing? Voodoo? I am obviously crazy! Now I am convinced as to not buy anymore tweeks because my hearing is somewhat flawed. I thought I noticed a mo... | |
| Mixed driver tube for Mcintosh MC275 That may be true as I do not have the gain specs in my manual. It does say that the input sensitivity is 1.2 volts unbalanced and 2.5 volts balanced. The only time I would use XLR is if I needed to use a longer interconnect from the preamp to the ... | |
| Mixed driver tube for Mcintosh MC275 I spoke to McIntosh today and their tech support told me that V1 is definitely in the signal path when using balanced cables on the Mark IV so I now I know I am not tone deaf. According to Mcintosh, it is the circuit that determines whether you ar... | |
| Mixed driver tube for Mcintosh MC275 The Mark IV also has gold plated balanced inputs. The balanced inputs sound far more electric sounding IMHO in comparison to the natural sound of RCA's in any component. The balanced inputs have more gain but I am not sure that makes them better, ... | |
| Mixed driver tube for Mcintosh MC275 I think the RCA sounds better | |
| Where is the problem? Tracking error? I checked my alignment with the Mint LP. Suprisingly, it was close to perfect if not as perfect as it could be. I did not touch it. It turns out the guy who set up my turntable is the best in my area. It took him over 4 hours to do it. I never kne... | |
| Where is the problem? Tracking error? thanks for your insight. | |
| Live vs home system??? If you are listening to your system and it can take you to the venue, that is what its all about. | |
| Where is the problem? Tracking error? I do have the mint and it did make a huge difference. I posted this thread because to me, it seems that everything I mentioned has a huge impact on the music. Someone mentioned about Benz Cartridge traking being somewhat varied, I totally agree. F... | |
| Picture Thread Nice pics!! | |
| Picture Thread Hey, solong, I noticed some dust on the record. What is up with that? | |
| The best "imaging" speakers? i really like my merlins | |
| Mcintosh MA2275 what's better I agree that the amp with the attenuators is the one to get. They also have the gold plated xlr connections which were also dropped. I think the Mark 1V is the one with all of the goodies and earlier models. I can see where he is saying that the M... | |
| Mcintosh MA2275 what's better The mac's do have a laid back sound, I will agree with that. I would not say that ARC is better, it is definitely a different sound. CAT Amps have a very good sound. I would say probably better than McIntosh, but quite a bit more. If you can affor... | |
| Live vs home system??? many recordings are engineered to the point where you are actually reproducing the engineers idea of what the sound should be. Voices and pianos are two things to strive to get right. Many symphony orchestras can sound somewhat believable on a goo... |
