    MC152 or MC500?

    Hello, I've lurked on the forum for a long time and finally have a reason to post. I have a pair of JBL 4343 speakers on the way and I need to buy an amp. I'm trying to decide between a MC152 and a MC500 - does anyone have any advice? The MC500 has more power, and a greater damping factor if...

    MC152

    So I acquired a MC152. I already had a MA5300, which I’m now using as a pre-amp. My 5300 had the ability to trim my bass, treble, etc. The 152 does not. I played a record tonight that sounded dull, flat and too bass-y. I guess this is the sound I have to live with if I keep this amp? I am...

    MC152 and a few other questions

    Hello - After many years of messing around with a few different vendors tube amps, I have decided to move back to solid state. While I have enjoyed tube rolling and other aspects of the tube experience they have turned out to be more unreliable than expected. I have a new MC152 arriving this...
