Mcintosh c-28 Where do i go from here?
How will the musical fidelity preamp mesh with the mcintosh 2155? The 2155 is typical MAC- laid back, tube-like, with a hint of solid state edginess.Does anyone have a musical fidelity preamp that is interested in trading with my Mcintosh C-28 (or... 
Mcintosh c-28 Where do i go from here?
How does the c-33 compare to modern preamps in the same dollar range as the c-33 such as a used musical fidelity preamp, and classe? I find the build quality on the classe and musical fidelity gear to be sub par. Any suggestions? There has to be a...

Thank you Onemug. What do you like about the c-33? The c-28 even after a professional recap is still has a very dry and clinical sonic presentation.Thanks in advance.

Why is my Mcintosh MC-2155 slow?
Thanks 'Goners. I adjusted the input sensitivity last night. I am going to listen carefully this weekend regarding the change in the amp's pace. I am also going to check out some of the speakers Aball and Hsindao recommended. Thank you both!Recent... 
Why is my Mcintosh MC-2155 slow?
Before I forget I must mention that my 2155 is hooked up to a pair of dali suite 1.7 mini towers (2 1/2 way design, with 2 5" woofers and a 1" tweeter). The 1.7's are very forgiving and musical however they are not the most transparent or have the... 
Why is my Mcintosh MC-2155 slow?
I will try that asap. Thank everyone for your assistance. What type of speakers would you recommend (small footprint because I have limited space) to match my 2155?I will let you know if changing the input sensitivity makes a difference. 
Why so little Primare gear on A'gon? Bad rep?
I had the opportunity to purchase the 2nd generation Primare preamp at Bestbuy/Magnolia for $450 last year when they were closing out on their primare inventory. I was impressed with it's build quality however I found it as too bright and analytic... 
Best Retailer Youve Done Business With?
You are right "chadnliz" however my experience pre-2001 with audio dealers has been frustrating. I do feel guilty when purchasing online instead of paying homage to my local audio dealer. I just do not see the point of visiting my audio locally an... 
Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear
I am not an audiophile. I am a music-phile. Who has the time to spend listening to a 100k system in this day and age anyways?I listen to my system about 2 hours a day while dictating (can you guess my profession). No one else in my house (nor my w... 
Once you go MAC you never go back.... My journey
I think I will have my 2155 recapped although it's a bear to lug around. How hard is it to recap an amplifier if I decided to DIY? What type of soldering gun will I need and what is the best place to find capacitors? I have never recapped an ampli... 
Best Retailer Youve Done Business With?
To be honest Ebay or Audiogon is my high end audio superstore. I do my equipment research on audiokarma, 6 moons, audiogon, as well as audition friend's systems. Yes I take a risk when purchasing gear from a Ebay. However, I would rather gamble $2... 
Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear
What is an audiophile anyway? Many times I believe people buy exotic audio to keep up with the "Jones" and forget the real reason, THE MUSIC!I used to collect vintage Sansui gear. Most of you are probably turning your nose up as we speak. However ...
