| Mcintosh MC150 light bulb replacement I am not certain about the 150 but I bet the Mc logo bulbs are solder-type and the rest are plug-in. It is an easy job if you have ever used a soldering iron before. Be sure to order a new set from Mc before doing anything. Chances are not all of ... | |
| McIntosh SS Amps - Old vs New - Sonics The 2200 and 2205 are at least 25 years old now. Their caps probably need to be replaced and device technology has moved forward since those days. Just due to these two points, the newer Mcs will sound better (i.e. more transparent). I used to hav... | |
| Volume and Bass levels at LA HE Show They think they are making it sound impressive and exciting. It's classic American one-upmanship at its finest - quantity is so often prized higher than quality. | |
| All Japanese system If you ask a Japanese person about what sound they like, they may well answer: McIntosh and Tannoy! | |
| Altos or Utopia Don't believe everything that you read. Trust your ears. | |
| Tube Monoblocks for JM Labs Electra 927 Be As an Electra 926 owner, I can tell you that my 45W CJ tube amp in my 14x15 room is just fine. From what I saw in Hifi-choice, the impedance dips to 3.5 ohms at 50 Hz or so but the phase isn't bad and the senstivity is indeed higher than average f... | |
| what else-$$ ????? More music. | |
| Stand-by on Mark Levinson products From an engineering standpoint, I would turn the system off during the week. This will be a good tradeoff between thermal cycling and thermal fatigue, thereby maximizing the life expectancy of your gear. Arthur | |
| Help me to lube up Maybe van den Hul's "The Solution" would help? | |
| Suggestions for integrated amp It depends on your system and tastes. For me, I would also pick the YBA. | |
| YBA Design new CD Player YC201 & Int. Amp. YA201 I heard them briefly but the setup wasn't optimal. They were playing Revox speakers and the sound was very transparent and detailed. I will be auditioning them again soon in a better setup.They look stunning IMO. The case quality is superb. They l... | |
| LSA speakers? Yes, the LSA speakers are from DK Design. But I auditioned the LS2 at length at my dealer and they sound fantastic. The VS VR2s, which sit right next to the LS2s in the room, didn't sound as smooth or as open. I didn't get to compare them to any o... | |
| "Mac" Integrated Owners: Are You Experienced? I too enjoy MIT cables with my McIntoshes. But I find that Mcs aren't as senstive to cable selection as other (pre)amps I have had. Arthur | |
| Naim amps?? They value quality over quantity. It seems that is an unfamiliar concept to many Americans.Arthur | |
| Jadis DA50S's load impedance question, pls help There is basically no such thing as an 8 ohm speaker. Speaker impedance is all over the map in most cases. The pic shows the jumper settings for the transformer. If you don't know, I wouldn't advise you doing anything. Your speakers probably need ... |
