I have a 300 that I am using for a secondary system and I like it. Now I have the opportunity to get a 500 but frankly know very few people who ever had them. Opinions please.

I recented adopted a Technics 1950 TT. Like many other vintage TT it's damping oil was dry and I cleaned out the entire unit using many of the ideas on this site and VE site. The movement of the arm is weird (in my opinion). When turned on, the arm raises and instead of moving directly to...

My system seems to work great except when I put the mode sector on the below setting: L + R to L: Connects the left plus right program to the left loudspeaker only Then I hear nothing. Why?

Tonight I am replacing a face plate on the MC300. I received the new faceplate from Mcintosh but did not realize that it is essentially pure glass and it does not have on the inside the extra plate of glass that sandwiches in the blue filter paper. The old face plate has these and they appear...

So my MC300 is working again. I spent some time on line looking for autoformers which I ended up not needing to replace but I stumbled upon someone selling another MC300 right in my neighbor hood. It made me wonder. How would 2 MC300 in Mono sound driving my SF Elipsas vs just splurging and...

Would anyone contrast and compare a MC 7270 vs MC300 for me?

Looking for member with knowledge of this amp and circuits Have not fired up my MC300 in months. When I turned on today the right channel had very low volume output and the power guard light came on. I switched all cables and speakers and same deal. Suspect component of unit. Where would I...

This is a general question about strain relief plugs: I intend to replace my rca interconnects from vintage TT with component cables that have been advocated in another forum. But "the recommended replacement types" seem to be very large caliber compared to my anemic looking RCA. What doe I...

Would be interested in members "first hand experience" and I guess "hear say" on window products that reduce noise coming in. This is a New York City apartment with large window facing street with jack hammering (with permits) and sirens all night. I have done extensive reading on curtains and...

My HR073 remote (for the C2300 preamp) suddenly became sticky to the touch. This is what I tried Isopropyl alcohol: This seemed to remove a sprayed on coating but now easily Goo be gone: did not work Talcum powder: did not want to do this acetone: did not want to do this lighter fluid: did...

A friend of mine who is legally blind expressed interest in purchasing a turntable. I believe she is starting from scratch ie no speakers, amp, preamp etc. Is there an entry level turntable that simply plugs into a computer via usb so one can listen to their album collection. (I know you...

If I connect my MT10 to my c2300 using rca cables to the moving coil connectors on back, I get a hum, unless I connect Left out to right in and right out to left in. If I connect left to left or right to right the hum occurs. Yes its grounded. More info: Using ordinary rca connects that...

Going to terminate some speaker wires for my MC275 VI with spades. What size are the binding posts?

Does oxidation still occur to a sig degree if one crimps to a spade and then covers it with heat shrink? I was going to terminate with ferrules but that limits which spades I must choose so I thought heat shrink might be another answer

It seems hard to find spades to terminate my DIY cables without breaking the bank. Using Canare 4s11 14 gauge to make 11 gauge wire. I am terminating this first with a 10 gauge WBT ferrule and then I need a screw spade (? 8 gauge) to go on the wbt ferrule. But many of the cheaper ones I...

Is this possible? I purchased (on the bay) Hendrix Electric Lady Land remastered 180 gm set. It was sold as new and still wrapped. When I opened it I noticed minor smudges on the vinyl and a minimal scuff and some very superficial scratches. Sounded good except for 2-3 pops on the entire...
