Full feature preamp $1500
@omegga..................The person is looking for a pre amp, not an integrated amp.  
Canare 4S11
At the 265 hour mark, I am still loving the 4S11 cables.  I have temporarily disconnected them to break in another 25 foot pair of 4S11 cables.  Once some playing time are on these, they will go into my main system and I will reconnect the previou... 
Considering going back to Solid State
A McIntosh preamp would mate perfectly with your MC402 amps. 
Odyssey monoblock thoughts.
It’s been a long time coming for you.  Enjoy them.

Why don't you hook them up to your speakers and find out for yourself?  I do know the 4pr are not 10 gauge. 
Focal 1028 Be II vs. 1038 Be II -- is the big price difference worth it to go 1038?
I have kicked myself more than a few times when a great deal came up and I hesitated just a little too long.   With so much equipment for sale these days, there will be more and better deals to be had and made.  I look at the Classifieds every day... 
Ebay sellers switching tubes
Tubes are the last thing I would buy on eBay.  There are just too many good, honest and reliable tube vendors that one shouldn't need eBay. 
2020 Rock-N-Roll Hall Of Fame Inductees
I am annoyed the MC5 didn't make it again.  Yet, since when is RAP, Rock? 
Recommendation for an audiophile speaker cord that is not "bright"?
I recently purchased a pair of Canare 4S11 speaker cables from Ram Electronics for 106.00 for the pair.  Still breaking them in but they have already bested my $1500.00 speaker cables I was using before the switch. 
How best to sell my dad's McIntosh integrated amp, CD player speakers?
@mmaguireb3..............................you can view the McIntosh owners manual online and at the end of manual is a diagram showing the proper way to pack.  Google search the name and model number of amp.   
Whats playing on your system today?
Dead Can Dance, "Spiritchaser" MFSL SACDI have listened to this disk maybe 5-6 times and honestly, I think it is really terrible for regular listening. If you want to show off your system, there are some good sound effects on the disk but I don’t ... 
Canare 4S11
At the 72 hour mark, I tried cranking the system a bit.  I put on The Dead Can Dance/Spiritchaser cd and listened to "Song Of The Stars".  This was a MFSL SACD.  The sound was better than I heard with my Groneberg Quattro Reference speaker cables....

What is "break in" and what difference does it make? In amps? Preamps? Speakers? More?
@ebm...………………………………………..."This question has been asked and answered 71 times already."Hmm, I counted 78 times. 
Tube Buffer
I owned a Rogue RP-5 tube preamp and it is a great preamp. The phono section is very versatile and TAS also LOVED the RP-5 which they tested a couple of years ago. Unless you run all balanced, I see no reason to get the RP-7. I had great results c...
