Tubes Recommendation for McIntosh Preamp
Also, FWIW, on a C2500 I swapped in NOS Telefunken 12AX7.   Huge  improvement across the spectrum.      
REL Hum. Stumped
Alas, I too have the hum with my pair of S/812s.  Amplifier is pure balanced, BAT VK655se, which apparently presents its own unique issues with the Rel Speakon.   @last_lemming  I am completely ignorant of technology, so I'll never be able to rep...

Recommended S.S. amp type for TANNOY 15'' speakers
Question for Yakbob (but of course all are welcome).  I was surprised that you are using the MC2300 with Pass amp.   Isn't there a mismatch between the MC2300 output impedance vs. Pass input impedance?   My recollection is this is not an ideal pai...
