McIntosh C15 Vs. C712

Thanks for the info! I am looking at the C15 or the C712, I checked out Roger Russells site, lots of great info,I'm running an MC150 with some Klipsch CF-4's, I love the sound, I have also heard great things about the MC7200, The direct-coupled mac amps are suppose to be a great match with Klipsch speakers, though I haven't heard the combo.I'm looking at upgrading to the MC352 in the future.

I own a MX-132 and a MC-162. How do you get the remote power-on feature to work?

Just use a 1/8 stereo mini plug, you can get one from Radio Shack, get the one that has the stereo mini plug on both ends. And just run it OUT from the Power Control port marked A on the back of the MX132 to the power control IN on the MC162. I hope that helps, refer to the owners manual as well.

Wow I got the radioshack cord. It powers up great. Thank You

I used to have a C712 and highly recommend it for the money. However, I do find the next generation pres (C15, 42, 200, etc) to be a little more transparent overall. I never did a head-to-head of a 712 and 15 though.
