    Transistor, diode, IC sub lists from Mcintosh

    While seeking output subs for a MA6200 I was sent these pdf's for substitutes. I only saw pre-1975 docs online. These should cover later. I didn't see this in my searches so I asked them if they had docs. Sorry if this is a duplicate. PDF's attached.

    Is it Stupid to use the Power outlet on Mcintosh Mx113

    Hi Everyone, Is it a bad idea to use the power outlet on the MX113 Pre/Tuner to feed the MC2100 AMP? I really want to try it and it says in the manual to hook the amps to them, but I'm scared it may be a bad match and risky? What do you think? Thanks, John
