    McIntosh C22 MK V -- Thoughts + Impressions?

    Want to know if McIntosh C22 mk V users are swapping 12ax7"A" with 12 AX7 tubes? I read about the "series and parallel" circuit of the C22 preamp....hence the 12AX7"A" tube that it comes with. If I don't mixed tubes (use all 12ax7 instead of 12AX7A) is this OK? Thanks for the advice.

    McIntosh C22 MK V -- Thoughts + Impressions?

    New OFC Power Cord from Ice Age Audio

    I learned about Ice Age Audio after reading positive feedback from someone who was experimenting with their Puritan 156 power conditioner (connection from wall to the 156).

    Buying Streaming System for my Niece

    Thanks to everyone for the assistance. I ended up buying her the KLH Model 3’s and the Cambridge Audio EVO 75. I added a pair of “Uncle Marks” Duelund speaker cables and a Puritan power/surge conditioner. Sounds Great!

    Buying Streaming System for my Niece

    Hi Lee, thank you for your suggestion and advice. Someone mentioned powered speakers, so I did some YouTube video research…..some old show coverage. I know YouTube is not great, but I have been somewhat able to get a flavor of the sound when considering past purchases. Anyway, they all...

    Thank you for the suggestion about Upscale. Do they have excellent tech support after the sale?

    Buying Streaming System for my Niece

    Good suggestion....thank you. I am going to a local audio store to check our the Bluesound streaming systems. I read that a lot of the Bluesound customers are having issues with the App, among other things. The store manager claims this is no longer the case?
