    MA6300 bright and thin sounding ....................................

    I thought I should respond to this with further info. Problem solved, the MAC is gone, and a new amp and preamp in it's place, a 5th different brand. Only thing changed is the MAC, go figure.

    MA6300 bright and thin sounding ....................................

    Unfortunately for me there was here and a few other places , but goes back at least 10 years. Wish I would have found that first.

    MA6300 bright and thin sounding ....................................

    Well, after enough research, I found enough comments that others verified the same thing I am hearing going back 10 years. This unit I just bought is an early one about 10 years old. It seems some slight changes were possibly made to later production units, so at least it is not just me. This is...

    MA6300 bright and thin sounding ....................................

    Well, all cabling was correct. So I tried the Graham Slee verse the 6300 phono. I was surprised to hear that the MAC phono section did not sound as bright. Much of the "tizziness" was gone. Now hearing The Graham Slee (this is there newest) with a tube and another solid state, this takes me...

    FWIW the Phono Pre is the Graham Slee Accession.

    MA6300 bright and thin sounding ....................................

    So I should add, I had this only for about 3 or 4 weeks . My turntable was/is fine before this arrived on other amps. The 6300 has never been fine. I never got to use my Modwright Oppo with it as it went down at about the same time as the 6300 arriving. TT has been being used all along. But I...

    MA6300 bright and thin sounding ....................................

    SO, I fired up my 6300 and immediately thought, wow what the heck is that ? I tried a few other LP's, as my Modwright Oppo is in for a checkup, and more of the same. I was totally surprised, and disappointed. I read comments similar to my thoughts but I dismissed them, since there were...

    Repair / Replace remote HR044 for MA6300

    Well in the end I just bought a Harmony 650, used their program for the Mac 6300 on line, and customized it a bit. At $51.00 bucks, seems to be a pretty capable remote. My guess is McIntosh would probably be at least double that price. Though it still maybe worth having a working McIntosh brand...

    Repair / Replace remote HR044 for MA6300

    Interestingly, I just talked to those guys for 10 Minutes Thursday, and was told nothing is available ??? Audio Classics told me the same thing, and that that particular remote is not one they attempt to fix ? Any idea what the price is for the HR085 ? Thanks for your info on another service...

    Repair / Replace remote HR044 for MA6300

    Good morning, I have a MAC HR044 remote, in this case with my 6300 Integrated. I believe this is not the only remote that was used on the 6300 over its production. Nothing available from McIntosh right now, or maybe ever In any case, it is in mint cosmetic condition , but only works...

    VPI Traveler, anybody using the Gingko "plinth" mounted dust cover ?

    Just curious if anybody has one of these for thier Traveler ? I assume the table top is more common. But I prefer the plinth mount, but because of design, this plinth mount looks to sit on glued on little squares in the corners, while the cover itself overhangs the actual plinth . If you have...

    Onkyo CP-1057f turntable, any experience with it?

    I had one I bought new for many years. It was a nice TT, and is suspended, unlike most DD turntables. I do not remember anything else about the table. I believe I had a Ortofon X3-MC mounted.

    Best 2 channel SACD player?

    What can you tell me about the modder you spoke with. Whom was it and what are the costs. I have an S9000ES. I have had many people tell me this should be modded. Frankly I have never trusted the whole modding thing, but certainly would like to be convinced otherwise. I have also been told by...

    Shelter 201 ??

    I think the link I provided pointed that out. It commented it was not identical, and had some differences. Where they go wrong in my opinion, is essentially they claim that based on the success of their higher end moving coil carts, they have designed their first MM cart. The reality is they...

    Shelter 201 ??

    Based on and being the same thing are different I guess. I ended up with a Clearaudio Arum Beta MkII. I like it, though I have not done a lot of comparisons, but others like it also.
