Guys, I moved to Colorado and bought a house and I am ready for a nice 2 channel setup. The issue is the room I have only has 3 walls. The room is 16 feet long, 8 1/2 foot ceilings, but only has 3 walls then opens to another room of sorts. I really don't see the point in spending a lot of...

Hello, I was curious what makes a stereo sound good no matter the volume. Does it have something to do with the ohms of the speakers? Maybe the amount of watts of the power amp? Thanks

Ha...

Alright - to get the thread back on track. My first question pertains to the cost/construction of the Mac line. Like I said, after hearing 2 setups I am sold on the sound but I saw this video at the Prima Luna site and it just made my mind have loose ends, I just felt like he raised some good...

Well after 33 hours, including 4 active hours of pushing, Eloise arrived. As she rested I played her a few tunes. The first song I every learned on guitar, Crash Into Me, then Stand by me, then Timshel by Mumford. I hope to fill our house with music via some good vinyl on a McIntosh setup...

Thanks for the greetings! Baby is holding out at the moment so its a waiting game as of now. Thanks for the input and info.

Thanks for the reply. I just find when an outsider asks questions some people can get easily upset so I was looking to avoid any issues. I am actually at the hospital about to have a baby! I will gather my words and post publicly. Makes sense to share the knowledge. Thanks!

Anxiously anticipating

Hello all, I am hoping to touch base with a person that understands the McIntosh line, especially their tube preamps. (Specs/construction etc). I have some questions that I would rather as via PM. If your up for it let me know, I would appreciate the help!

Thanks for the input, unfortunately I live in Dallas now but maybe Ill have to suck it up to demo both. I appreciate the link.

Thanks for the input, some good points consider. Its sounds like you have some good knowledge to share so I appreciate that. I have not found much on the C2600 either so if you have a link that would be great, not many reviews either. As far as wanting tubes, that is something I want. I don't...

Yes, this would be ideal. There doesn't seem to be anyone close to me that sell the Primaluna gear. This might require some travel time.

Hello all. I am finally in a position to put together a component system. (Budget is about 25k) I have had the opportunity to hear a few McIntosh setups, both solid state and tube. I really believe McIntosh to be a great performer and their equipment is beautiful. For some reason I am just...

2 questions 1 - what year Macbook Pro 2 - when switching bit rates you are having no issues? Thanks!

Another Day Another Time - hands down my favorite and I have seen most of them out there.

Thanks for all the replies, Ill take a look.

I found this to be kind of funny, especially when he gets to the German records. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8E0nmpwIvo

Ahhh...I know, this is what is killing me, everyone keeps telling me this so I have become paralyzed. I wish I could wake up tmrw and see a nice refresh of the 2500 with the same dac out of the 150 built in....a guy can dream. I've got some thinking to do.

Yes, I prefer the tube sound and find it cool that the tubes can be changed out to experiment with different sounds. I really can't justify getting the 2500 just to bypass the dac with the D150 - it would just eat up to many funds that I would like to use for other things. On the other hand...

I have not heard the album but I assume its the same as the movie, nor have I seen the PBS special. I'll have to look into it! Thanks

Absolutely fantastic. Did a search and didn't see this posted and thought I would share. Hands down my favorite music movie I own - I've watched it through and through and just love it more each time. If your into folk music from the 60's and a new take on the songs its amazing. Each...

Hello. My closest dealer is telling me the c2300 is discontinued, is this legit? I just don't want the dac for personal preference reasons and would prefer the 2300.

Hello. I was looking for recommendations on other tube amps that are in the same class/price-point of the C2500 / C2300 preamps by McIntosh. Thanks.

I was curious how often Mc updates there preamplifiers? How old is the design of the C50 and the C2500? Thanks.
