| Hum in preamp when using HT bypass It is rule of the National Electric Code that a cable system or satellite installation MUST be bonded (grounded) to the fuse box and ground rod of your house. If this is done you will not have hum or need ground lifters on the cable line. If your ... | |
| What amp for McIntosh LS260 speakers Any number of amps can be used with the LS360s. They are ratted for 600 watts but a clean 100 will drive them well. For less money a Crown K2 worked well on some I listened to.Thanks,Ron-C | |

| McIntosh MX119 Dave,The analog section of the MX119 is basically the same as the C45 ($3600) stereo pre amp.If you feed an analog stereo or multichannel input it will stay analog in Stereo which is the two fronts + sub, or 2-Channel which is the two fronts no su... | |
| 5th Element Superbit - Audio not playing? Are you using the DVD player or the receiver to decode the sound? The disk may be exceeding your processor's data package size. Once this exceedes 10 Mbit per second some processors will be swamped. I have seen this before. If you are using your r... | |
| Issues With McIntosh C2200 Balanced Input Check the pin out on your units. The pins are not all assigned the same. USA and Japanese components may not have the same pin out so you will have to modify one end of the balanced cable to translate at full level.Ron-C | |
| A somewhat unusual request for PrePro help The McIntosh MX119 has multichannel pass through, and two stereo modes which are pure analog. It sounds like the two channel Mc preamps when playing two channel. You can run your front left and right speakers full range or with your sub, selectabl... | |

| McIntosh MC252 with Totem Mani2 / Sig's Even though the MC252 is enough amp for 90% of all speakers you will always wonder if you should have bought the MC402. Since these amps last a lifetime it may be better just to buy the Mc402 and be done with it. The 402 is just to big for some in... | |
| McIntosh MC252 with Totem Mani2 / Sig's I have the same set up, C2200 MC252 on one of my systems. I have used both balanced and unbalanced cables to the amp. Personally I like balanced cable connections better as they are more secure. High end balanced cables are less money and sound gr... | |
| McIntosh MC252 with Totem Mani2 / Sig's Yes you can use banana and spades at the same time on the MC252 speaker binding posts.Ron | |
| McIntosh MC252 with Totem Mani2 / Sig's Skuras,Typo, I meant '200 amp' binding posts. Of course passive bi amping / bi-wiring this way looks the same the MC252 as one set of wires because the woofer and mid section of the speakers cover different frequencies which when added together ad... | |
| McIntosh MC252 with Totem Mani2 / Sig's The MC252 can have bi wire speaker wires connected using the 200 speaker connections. These will hold very large spades or banana jacks.If you had a MC402 and a MC252 behind a black curtain in a blind A/B I would not want to bet my life I could te... | |
| McIntosh MX119 The MX119 has 8 channel external in, unbalanced stereo inputs, phono input and one set of balanced stereo inputs that are all pure analog. These inputs bypass the processor and all volume controls for all eight channels are analog. NO digital volu... | |
| Anyone hear the McIntosh MC275 mkIV Some users report the stock tubes sound as good as anything. The MC275 is not dependent on exotic tubes for good sound. Many other factors effect the sound in a system.Ron-C |
