| To "tube" or not to "tube" I don't believe the 12AX7 does gain multiplying, but you shouldn't take my word as I'm not a tube circuit maven ;--) Check with McIntosh technical support.I know what everyone connected w/ McInt. says about tubes not making a difference. All I can... | |
| To "tube" or not to "tube" Tennis, congrats! You're going to really love that amp! The power tubes the MC 275 comes with are KT88, either Electo Harmonix (round holes in the plate) or Svetlana Winged "C" from the St. Petersburg plant (square holes in the plate.) The Penta K... | |
| To "tube" or not to "tube" Tennis, did you get a IV or a V? If a IV, I can send you some pics showing a slick way to hook up fat speaker cables. Either way, I know you'll love the amp. It's actually quieter and more detailed than many top notch SS amps -- which I don't expe... | |
| To "tube" or not to "tube" Tennis, the 275 (especially the new IV or V) is an unusual and outstanding tube amp. One, in stereo, will drive a Maggie 1.6 full range quite nicely as long as you are not going to ask it to do rock, opera, or orchestral at high volume. When you w... | |
| To "tube" or not to "tube" Hi Tennis,Let's see, you've managed to bundle quite a few topics within a short inquiry, ha HA!Addressing sonics first: Though I've not personally A-B'd those two amps in a controlled setting, I think sonic differences between them, using the same... | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? Wadia WT 2000 with TEAC P2 VRDS mechanism upgrade, via Aural Symphonics ST Optimism V.2 glass fiber cable into Wadia 27 DAC. DAC to preamp: Purist Venustas XLR. Power cords, transport = Purist Venustas, DAC = Purist Dominus.(these are upgrades fro... | |
| To "tube" or not to "tube" JB a lot of people use a pair of (mono paralleled) MC275's (150W ea.) to drive Summits. The nice thing is you could get one now and use it in stereo (they actually produce 95+ watts/ch), and add another one later and run them as monoblocks. There ... | |
| To "tube" or not to "tube" The Summits already have 400W of SS ICE amps for the subwoofers. So all you need is a MODEST powered HIGH QUALITY tube amp (for the screens). Stats and tubes are the "cat's ass," and you'll never go back once you're addicted.If I had a pair Summit... | |
| Martin Logan Summit and Classical music......... The key to electrostats is a great tube amp (I just got a new McIntosh MC275 MkIV for my CLS's and it sounds even better than my Levinson 23.5) After that, all music sounds totally real.Summits make using such a tube amp (as the Mac) easy since th... | |
| Male DIN plug on cable cooker phono adapter Ed, no my connector is just like the ones Cardas and van den Hul offer (except it's straight, not rt angle.) It's for making a DIY tonearm cable.Why doesn't Audiodharma just make an adaptor that has four colored wire pigtails that the cartridge cl... | |
| Male DIN plug on cable cooker phono adapter Ed, now I understand what you're up to: You want to burn in the internal tonearm wires AND the tonearm cable all at the same time, yes? Now, bear in mind that cartridge pins come in (mainly) two different diameters (and so do cartridge clips) I kn... | |
| balanced power for surrounds Another thing (amazing!) about all Bryston gear, is it comes with a twenty year, unconditional, TRANSFERRABLE warranty.. | |
| balanced power for surrounds Well, all amps with balanced circuitry, like most of the Balanced Audio Technology (BAT) some Audio Research, and other more expensive lines, have balanced inputs to take advantage of their balanced circuit design. But many less expensive amps (es... | |
| balanced power for surrounds Do you mean an amp with "balanced inputs" or an amp with "balanced circuitry". You can find B for your B in the first category, not in the second.. | |
| Male DIN plug on cable cooker phono adapter When you say "The pins on the male DIN plug are of much smaller diameter than those on the cartridge." I don't know what exactly you're trying to do, but you shouldn't be bending the pins on your cartridge, yikes!!! And besides, there's no standar... |
