| McIntosh mp 100 Phone Preamp Problem.... Blinking Red Power Button Yes, i think it was powered up when I made the switch. … was that it? The McIntosh tech asked the same question….

| McIntosh mp 100 Phone Preamp Problem.... Blinking Red Power Button Wow… so as it turns out…. The McIntosh shop replaced something having to do with the main power, and then it still wasn’t working. Some sort of resistor… still not working… and now try are waiting for a “small chip” from McIntosh. So it’s sti... | |
| Weakest Link in my system... Power Supply, DAC, or... I am also curious how open baffle speakers such as these may have different requirements, or simply more of the same requirements, as a regular box speaker. It does play the room, and the stage seems as large as a big rig…. r. | |

Not sure if Dropbox links can be attached as images here, but here are links to photos of the front and back of my listening room. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/qr0z96ll6crnz7806pywa/IMG_6048.HEIC?rlkey=f8qfq1z6oadds8ex1x6iqe02u&st=raz6s... | |
| Weakest Link in my system... Power Supply, DAC, or... I am humbled, grateful, and delighted by all of these insightful responses. Thank you!!!! i do see room treatments as the main next step for me. I do have the ability to move the speakers easily (The PAP’s are on good feet and easily movable) and... | |
| COAX Cable Recommendations.... need some glitter Thank you all for your suggestions! I am so grateful for the sage advice in this group!!!! I went ahead with the Acoustical Zen silver MC2. I think the silver will serve this setup well. I have not yet received the Accoustical Zen Coax nor the... | |
| COAX Cable Recommendations.... need some glitter ... Quick sidenote. I see various cables such as Acoustic Zed and Nordost Heimdall that are listed as COAX. It seems the coax input in my DAC and the Coax output on the Nagra Streamer are RCA.... Questions: -Will any RCA cable work here? -If a... | |
| Maximize Mini with Roon to match my system -- or new component? Update. Out of curiosity I got the clear Cardas usb cable, and just hooked it up between my mini and dac. this is just such a revealing system, feels dramatic compared to my cinnamon aq. I am waiting for the nagra streamer…. | |
| Weakest Link in my system... Power Supply, DAC, or... I am interested in learning more about my bass trap options... where to begin on this? Thanks, Richard | |
| Weakest Link in my system... Power Supply, DAC, or... Haha. Yes the room is not ideal, I live in New York City! the room has a large opening to a dining room, and another to the second floor…. Open to suggestions on the room besides moving to another house…! when I listen I move the PAP horns... | |
| McIntosh mp 100 Phone Preamp Problem.... Blinking Red Power Button Hello all, So my amp is getting serviced, and it was apparently two things that failed. The power supply, and some sort of small transistor. It is being repaired. QUESTION: This seemed to happen when I was simply swapping out a new custom... | |
| Maximize Mini with Roon to match my system -- or new component? I was thinking the same thing for my next step…! Cap upgrades to the amp. I read about several, but what is the latest word on what to do? Which type of cap? I’ll know better after the streamer upgrade, but likely I would lean towards separati... | |
| Maximize Mini with Roon to match my system -- or new component? Am also wondering if you all think getting a 5k streamer is out of proportion or in line with my system (which retails a total of about 22K presently) | |
| Maximize Mini with Roon to match my system -- or new component? Also I am reading about the Nagra Streamer. Does anyone have experience with this? It gets a good review in Huff and its only half a year old... I like the simplicity and its Roon ready... r. | |
| Maximize Mini with Roon to match my system -- or new component? ... thank you all... it does seems Roon limits me somewhat. and I've been reading up on the Lumin U2 and it seems like a good fit... will read up on the Antipodes... Anyone have a sense of how Lumin U2 and the Antipodes compare? Addi... |
