| looking pre tube for mc452 I have used Mc and CJ preamps with Mc amps. CJ should be warm and lush if that is the sound you want...ET-3 should work well output impedance wise. BTW, the MC452 should respond very well to a good power cable. This may help give you the perfor... | |
| looking pre tube for mc452 Did you roll the tubes in your C2300 or did you use the stock tubes? | |
| looking pre tube for mc452 SS McIntosh preamps have a more full bodied sound compared to the Mc tube preamps if that is what you are after. | |
| Looking for seperates under $5k~ Are you dead set on separates? A McIntosh integrated would match up very well with your speakers. Some believe that the Mc integrated amps easily compete with separates. Plus you save yourself the expense of another power cable and pair of inter... | |
| looking pre tube for mc452 A McIntosh tube preamp is the best match IMHO. You have an awesome amp there...enjoy! | |
| How long will tubes last in a pre-amp? Google search "Sonic Frontiers Line 1 tube rolling" and see what you come up with. You can really change the sound of that preamp with different tube types. I prefer Amperex Orange Globe 6922 with A-frame getter. Great sounding tube for the Lin... | |

| Been "Gone" 10 Years...What Have I Missed? Hello cbucki, what tubes do you have in the PL? I would try some Gold Lion reissue KT88, Mullard CV4004 and CV4003. Great upgrade to stock tubes and easily worth the money spent IMO.One thing you may have missed in 10 years is advancement in cab... | |
| What do audiophiles want from a cable? A blind test is just an averaged subjective test of what the average guy is capable of in a usually imperfect listening invironment. There is no best for all applications, so no one cable will be Champ all the time. IMO, there are better than av... | |
| What do audiophiles want from a cable? Interesting idea and if it is indeed the better method, then expect to see "laser cables" in the future Obi Wan. I don't get why you are not feeling the "fluid" chrisr. Seems pretty brilliant to me. I mean Jim Aud's concoctions(fluid,ferox,con... | |

| What do audiophiles want from a cable? Where are you Budburma? Hopefully somewhere "hearing the humanity" in front of the Opera Callas. OR maybe on top of a Catskill peak barking at the moon. Either way...We need your input here, and I need more of your impressions of Sablon Panetel... | |
| What do audiophiles want from a cable? I use the "eq" on my MA7000. A better way to describe it is a series of controls that provide me with up to 12db of boost or cut at 5 frequencies know to cause room anomalies(nasties). I use it to tune my room. Yes my listening room. That is h... | |
| Emotiva XSP vs. Creek 50A XDA-2. If you don't play vinyl, do you really need the preamp in the path? XDA-2 has remote with volume and input switching. Mucho digital inputs and real balanced output stage. Balanced out to Sunfire amp? On top of that, the XDA-2 volume co... |
