| Mcintosh MC275 versus MC501 ? one foot long, each side short as possibleOrdinarily, a short(er) cable (anything under 5 feet is sufficient) will help preserve the limited damping capability of a tube amp. However with (especially) a braided cable, like the Kimber, a very short... | |
| Mcintosh MC275 versus MC501 ? And how long are your Kimber 8TC cables? | |
| Mcintosh MC275 versus MC501 ? actually, I'm running 2 MC275's in mono for each B&W 805D's.Well that's a little more information, but not as much as I was hoping for. If you have your amps bridged, you have more than enough power, and more than enough damping, to get loud, ... | |
| Synergistic Research Acoustic ART analogue room tr I'd like to take a stab at whoever is responsible for this nonsense! The Greeks and Romans used "sounding vessles" in their open-air theaters to produce reverberation, not a desireable trait for audio listening.http://www.vitruvius.be/boek5h5.htm | |
| Mcintosh MC275 versus MC501 ? Your question lacks context, and is therefore unaddressable. Could you please list your complete system including cables, etc. It very well may be a matter of properly configuring your system as it is right now, and not simply a matter of switchin... | |
| Mcintosh amps/feet what are thread size? My (new) MC275 amp uses 8 -- 32 to hold on the feet. | |
| Speakers this way, or that, with cathedral ceiling If the shortest dimension of your room is 16 feet (or more) it's best if you can place your speakers (centered, of course) on the long wall. This allows two things to happen:1. You can pull the speakers (faces) out 3 feet from the wall behind them... | |
| Has anyone tried EAT KT88's in their power amps I did try a quad of EAT Diamonds in my McIntosh MC275. Unfortunately, they were either heavily (or incorrectly) used. They tested weak and sounded no better than Pentas, Electro Harmonix, re-issue Gold Lions, etc. So, my NOS Genalex Gold Lions wer... | |
| Uber quiet tubes for C2300 pre All the NOS tubes I've tried from UA (maybe a dozen or so) have been weak and overpriced! And their remarks about 5751 are incorrect from an audiophile POV. (Might apply to guitar players overdriving their amps to get that "fuzzy" sound they like.... | |
| Uber quiet tubes for C2300 pre You want to skip the 12AX7's altogather IMO (not that there aren't some quiet ones) but for REAL quiet and smooth, grainless, flat frequency response, you want matched triple-mica black plate 5751's, with the copper support rods and rectangular ge... | |
| What causes turntable rumble "Doc" was what all the kids and faculty called him. I think the "Rusty" must have come from the people out at Hanscom Field, where he arranged for us to use the Link trainer . . . . a very colorful man. | |
| What causes turntable rumble Colonel "Rusty" Draper, who for those who don't know, developed the Inertial Guidance System for our early guided missiles, was also the faculty advisor for the MIT Flying Club (which still blows my mind!) My favorite story (of his) was when he th... | |
| What causes turntable rumble Eldartford, I didn't know you were an alum! What year did you graduate, what course?Wiffle grooves are not just a feature of air bearings (and BTW, many air bearings DO NOT use them, opting instead for multiple inlets in the manifold.) Grooves are... | |
| Goldmund Studio Satch, sorry, my TT is mounted the same as yours -- TT shelf into conc. block wall, on constrained layer damping platform.I've assisted with three of these mods, mine, plus another Studietto here in town, and remotely, a Studio restoration in Aust... | |
