Upgrading my Node 2i which I was running through my McIntosh c2500 tube pre using the Mc built in DAC. it was OK but I’m ready for an improvement. I have Bel Canto Stream and DAC ... | |
| Need suggestions on efficient book shelf speakers for a Pass Labs XA3.5 I’m running Harbeth C7’s on my bookshelves with a Sugden IA4 (30w Class A). Great tandem. More recently I added a little REL HT1003 sub and I like the extra oomph. Streaming only with this setup with Bel Canto DAC and Streamer. | |
| Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life? A pair of Fisher 101 bookshelf speakers I bought in 1972. Combined with a Fisher 222 Studio Standard receiver and Dual 1225 turntable. As I recall, the local dealer had a special where you bought one speaker for $99 and the other was a penny. Thi... | |

| question for Luxman L-590AX owners Yes, I’ve got the integrated and, yes, I’ve got the low hum. Not really that noticeable. I wondered if it was a characteristic of a Class A amp since I’ve never had one before. It runs very hot. | |
| Who's using Harbeth with tubes, what speaker model and how many watts per channel? Harbeth SHL5+ with Mc275 tube amp and Mc c2500 tube preamp here. I’m a lightweight in the audio world but have played around some and this is a great combination. Also have Harbeth Compact 7’s driven with a Luxman Class A 590ax and that’s a great... | |
| Need Help! My Class A Amp Is Running Very Hot I replaced my Mc integrated with a Lux 590AX about a year ago. Wanted to try Class A. My equipment had always been in cabinets. That did not work with the Luxman. Even though the cabinets were pretty well ventilated the Luxman ran so hot that it w... | |
| Speaker recommendations for MC275 Probably not an upgrade but I run Harbeth SHL5+’s with my 275 VI and c2500. |
