    It pays to talk about this hobby!

    About 6 weeks ago, I ran into an old colleague of mine. I had last seen him at a veteran of the company get together. He asked me if I was still into audio. I said I was and started enthusiastically talking about how much fun I was having doing it. We chatted a little bit, and then he asked me...

    Help on McIntosh MC30 rebuild

    i posted this in the Mac forum, but crickets over there so far, so thought I’d post it here. I can delete the original if there’s an issue with duplicates. I picked up a couple of MC30s from separate sellers over the past week and can’t wait to get them up and running. They’re as close in...

    Correct woofer for ML-1C speakers

    i recently purchased a very nice pair of subject cabinets. They are missing the 12 inch woofers. In searching the bay I see several different speakers offered as "original, needs refoaming". Some have round magnets, some square. Which is correct for my cabinets?

    High end pre amp options

    I'm pretty intrigued with the amount of flexibility one could achieve using a separate pre amp and power amp. I've been looking up a great number of pre amps and wanted to know what kind of solid state, two channel pre amps with phono stage, analog inputs, coax and optical inputs and fixed...

    Main filter caps - to replace or not?

    I dropped off my MC752 with one of the top McIntosh techs in Atlanta a couple of weeks ago. The amp was working perfectly; however, I felt it was time for it's 30 year checkup. I'm pleased to report that this 100% original 30 year old amp made 91 watts per channel. :rockon: He will be...

    C28 refurbished and it feels so fine

    I had Mike at Austin Stereo do a full refurbish of my C28. He recapped it, fixed the grounding issues, and got both phono stages working again. Some fresh bulbs and a little elbow grease and it's looking sharp, too. Wow! I had no idea it could sound this good. Considering there are so many...

    McIntosh C28 VS Realistic STA-2300

    First Post...(in this forum) I recently acquired a couple of Vintage McIntosh units at a steal price (since the seller could not confirm functionality). I gambled and looks like it was a good call. I bought an MC2105 power amp and the matching C28 pre-amp. After some cleaning (20 years of dust...

    McIntosh C39

    I have a MC7300 and C35. I just took on a C39 and while it was in place with MC7300 and Oppo-103 playing a Bray "Darjeeling Limited", not that it matters, but about 1 hour into the C39, it shut down. Now it was at about 19 volume, normal room listening, not above or high volume/power. When I say...
