| MAC Autoformers? I’ll hazard a guess that Mac chose to use autoformers way back when early transistors weren’t as reliable. They chose to use the autoformers to increase reliability (which way back was part of Mac’s separation from much of the competition) and be... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? Some amps require more than 2 Volts input for full output. | |
| Best sounding "budget" integrated amp for Vandersteen 2C. I think it prudent for me to retract my earlier recommendation. It has recently come to my attention that the amps I previously suggested are beginning to demonstrate age related failures that might not be cost efffective to repair. | |
| MAC Autoformers? The autoformers restricts the ability to vary power with impedance / sensitivity and ergo compromises frequency linearity with the vast majority of loudspeakers.There’s a good reason so many other amps don’t use them. | |
| Best sounding "budget" integrated amp for Vandersteen 2C. Back when this version was being sold, the entry level recommendation was Rotel and for a bit more B&K and especially PSE.I know it might be a bit of a budget stretch, but instead of a budget intergrated; I would recommend a used early genera... | |

| Thinking of changing my solid state pre amp c-j made some rather nice ss pres. | |
| Best place to get an old solid state amp fixed up? If PS Audio doesn’t work out, you might want to try:vintageamprepair.netJon Soderberg is better known for Threshold/Forte’ gear, but PS Audio did once own Threshold. | |
| Best Amps/preamps for Theil cs1 speakers For $500 you should be able to find a conrad-johnson MF-80. A perfectly lovely 80 Watt per channel ss amp for that generation of Thiel, so long as you your not into headbanging volume levels. | |
| Thiel Owners Thielrules, the drivers were damaged, so yes. | |
| Thiel Owners thielrules, No, I’ve always preferred the 3.5’s. You might be thinking of “oblgny”. | |
| Thiel Owners Thiel rebuilt both of my 3.5's midranges in the fairly recent past. |
