    JBL 100 horizontal on 12" shelf

    RVT1K, thanks so much...I forgot the deal about against the wall. I am going to have to get some speaker stands that will support them that are around 24" tall. Long story but running two systems in one room. Speakers on floor are AR-3's and they sound much better on the floor. Room is...

    Best way to run one TT and switch between two different systems

    I think I am getting close..however, I use the Aux In on the Marantz for the line input for the bluetooth receiver so do I instead use maybe, Tape 1 on Mcintosh C-26?

    Would you consider this trade?

    I have found an Mcintosh MX110 tube preamp and can get it for $1,000. The owner says it works but I have not tested as of yet. Generally speaking, is this a better preamp than a C-26, which I currently own? C-26 works great but tubes are just cool! Thoughts? I am using an MC-2505 amp running...

    Does changing faceplate and plinth on Thorens TD 160 hurt value

    Funny, that is kind of the look I was leaning towards. The blue color closely matches the blue on my vintage mcintosh gear.

    Does changing faceplate and plinth on Thorens TD 160 hurt value

    Looking at my set-up and my TD-160 in original plinth and faceplate. Some small scratches on plinth and face plate as well. The original light wood of the plinth just looks a little out of place against my Mcintosh amp and preamp, which have the walnut wood cases. What does everyone think...

    My C-26 preamp seems to have one bulb out. The MC-2505 amp seems ok but maybe off color slightly on meters. I dont want to risk breaking the glass so based on the photos woudl you tackle the C-26 or leave it alone and what about the 2505. I have read horror stories about knob removal and...

    MC-2505 with AR3a speakers vs Klipsch HeresyII

    Great News: I spent about 2 hours this morning "tinkering" with different settings and volume levels that are maybe slightly less than a rock concert. My wife has agreed if I want to listen to the MC2505 just close the bedroom door, where she watches tv at night. The owner of the Klipsh's did...
