    McIntosh Xr-250 just purchased

    Ahh, didn't know about the 2205, there is a 2002 local however I don't believe it has the output transformers. I was looking at the 7270 also based on Mr Russell's using it to test the xr-250 before production. I take it the 2205 was what replaced the 2002 with output transformers? Thanks for...

    Just purchased a pretty nice pair of McIntosh XR-250 speakers. Running them off a pair of diy Pass a5 monos. This is my first McIntosh adventure, looking for suggestions for a McIntosh amp to pair with them. The a5's are excellent sounding, but at 60 watts and 84 db I give them a workout. Any...

    Wiring Icepower 500a Linear power supply question

    That makes sense, agrnd is the shield in the cable for the balanced input, I have it connected to the rca input ground along with the cold pin. Then it is grounded to the chassis through the power supply ground terminals. Only ground on the smps is to chassis, so should have a +-12v smps with...

    CD Player recommendations??

    I recently purchased an Onkyo 7030 because of all the hype, and the Wolfson dacs. Skipped on every cd I played and found out they are using AK4482VT budget dacs. Sent it back and searching for something new. Many retailers still advertising as having Wolfson chip. F.Y.I.
