| Watts! How many do we need? I have noticed that with my McIntosh MC7200 amp (non autoformer) and ADS 1590/2 speakers, 2 watts on the meters will almost burst my eardrums. No technical observance here, just noticed this bit of info when listening to all kinds of music in my r... | |
| The Wonderful World of CD-R's In my previous response to this thread of 7/30/23, I mentioned I had HHB recorders. Since then I purchased the Tascam CD-RW900SX and I find this machine to be a fantastic recorder, even better than HHB recorders. Took a bit of a learning curve to ... | |
| Dog pissed on speaker kmmd, fantastic reply!! You made my day, guy!!! | |
| Mcintosh C15 vs C36 or C34v I notice the same thing with my C15, and this is the only thing I don't like about it. Love the remote control, however. The two preamps you mention do not have remote control, so if that's a big deal to you, better look elsewhere. I'm wondering f... | |

| The Wonderful World of CD-R's I've used Mamm-A and TaiyoYuden discs, but have occasional problems with them. Then I went to HHB discs and these are fantastic, although hard to find. Then another company took them over (sorry, I don't remember the name) and claim they are the s... | |
| Best sounding headphones you have owned? I agree with Mahgister, the AKG 340 simply does it for me. I keep reading that it is so hard to drive, but mine's plugged into my McIntosh C15 preamp and works great. Not sure what all the fuss is about on that issue. Mine is the "gray" model mean... | |
| An analogue preamp designer question For me, it had better have remote control. I'm not interested digital inputs. Take a look at a McIntosh C15 preamp to see how they managed to do all you are looking for in a nice clean looking unit. You wouldn't need to do lighting. I have one of ... | |
| Ripping CD's + 1 with Styleman I use two HHB 830+ recorders and have found the best dics for my machines are HHB discs. I use to use Mamm's, but started getting too many dud's. I realize my method is "old school", but for just making compilations of discs I a... | |
| Yamaha DSP-A1 for 2.1 System An additonal thought on the DSP-A1, one of the problems encountered by many is the display issue as mentioned by onhwy61. Luckily I haven't had any problems with mine, but there is an interesting video repair about this on YouTube. Although it loo... | |
| Yamaha DSP-A1 for 2.1 System An old thread for sure, but just wanted to chime in that I have one of the gold ones with side panels, and it performs beautifully after all these years. I use it now strictly for 2-channel in my family room and couldn't be happier. No problems, e... | |
| Mcintosh C15 - Your Impressions and Matching Power Amp ram18 Correction on my previous post, the led's that didn't fit right were for the MC7200, not the C15. | |
| Mcintosh C15 - Your Impressions and Matching Power Amp ram18 I purchased my current one in 2012. Prior to that I had a C48 for awhile, and prior to that a C15 also. In my opinion, the C15 sounded as good as the C48, so I went back to my current C15. I have had no issues with any of these pre's. I did... | |
| Mcintosh C15 - Your Impressions and Matching Power Amp @oddiofyl your comment about the C15 being overpriced is in my opinion typical of used prices for all Mac products. Having owned many Mac items, and being a fan since 1978, I knew what they cost at the time. Used prices today are insidious, costin... | |
| What is the proper loudness for listening? Those two items on each side of your head will be the guide as to how loud you can go with the sound. Your room will also dictate this and whether you're listening alone, what time of day/night you are listening, etc. If you plan on listening into... |
