The Crow called McIntosh I’m about to eat - MC 2105
2022年8月13日 · Great story. I often wonder how many have listened to an all original (non-restored) 50yo unit briefly, formed an opinion, and moved on - McIntosh isn't all that. A properly restored MC2105 which meets spec is quite an amplifier, by any measure. Looking back through Mc's lineups over the years, it's an iconic model.
MC2105 restore to former glory / parts list - Audiokarma Home …
2022年3月25日 · I have read that non-inductive wire wound resistors in the MC2105 could cause oscillation in the output section. Thermistors: My amp’s thermistors were totally worn out and I replaced them. I suggest replacing them if your unit uses them as a soft start like the MC2105. My amp would dim the lights in the house when I turned it on!
Older McIntosh Amps--Any To Avoid? - Steve Hoffman Music …
2006年4月18日 · Well I just pulled the trigger on a MC2105. It looks to be in nice condition and was recently serviced by McIntosh so hopefully it will be in good shape for some time. It is rated at 105WPC but from what I have read it typically measures in the 130-140WPC range. I am looking forward to checking out this baby but now I need to find a preamp for it.
Does a McIntosh 2100/2105 amp makes sense today
2019年9月14日 · In that regard, nothing makes better sense than to own McIntosh in excellent condition IMHO. Not sure why the suggestion is being made why the connections are different for an MC2105/2100 than they are for most any modern basic power amplifier which are conventional RCA which are the most commonly used connections between pre and power amplifiers.
McIntosh MC2105 & MX115 - worth considering? - Steve Hoffman …
McIntosh MC2105 & MX115 Combo Excellent Condition It is about 30 minutes drive away I think. I never own McIntosh. My experience is mostly AV receivers and Emotiva DAC, preamp, and amp combo. Curious if this combo would work well with my Paradigm Studio 10 speakers.
How to get the most out of my MC2105 - Audiokarma Home …
2010年8月26日 · The last MC2105 made is over 33 years old. The most 'bang for the buck' you do as far as up-grading the sound is to do a recap. There are a couple of good threads here on doing so (do a forum search on MC2105) with vintage McIntosh amps. The usual small-signal coupling and other caps are Nichicon Muse. You can purchase the needed caps for under ...
McIntosh MC2105 Opinions? : r/audiophile - Reddit
2011年3月28日 · I don't have a McIntosh, but love their designs and plan to pick up a few of them. First, AudioXpress magazine ran an article a few years back about a complete restoration of a MC2100. I think the MC2100 is almost identical to the MC2105 except for the casing. The MC2100 is on a tube amp chassis while the MC2105 is in their wood/glass case.
Speaker recommendation for Mcintosh Mc2105 - Steve Hoffman …
2013年12月13日 · I agree, I'm not putting the MC2105 at the top of the McIntosh food chain. Both my C29 preamp and MC2105 were purchased from WWW.MCINTOSHAUDIO.COM where they are brought back into spec and sold with a one year warranty so they are as good as new. I think the C29/MC2105 are more than adequate for a bedroom stereo system.
mcintosh mc2105 running hot (or normal?) - Steve Hoffman Music …
2014年7月27日 · Only McIntosh repair centers with which I have direct experience are Audio Classics (NY) & DeWick Repairs (TN) and recommend them unconditionally. Audio Lab in Cambridge MA may be worth looking into as they cite McIntosh. I really think there is a very good chance the bias needs adjustment.
Glass faceplate comparison: Original vs Modern replacement
2020年8月15日 · Regarding model-specific: I replaced my MC2105 and C28 glass with factory glass around 3 years ago (from memory, might have been longer). The lettering is a perfect gold / very visible with the lights off, just like your original 2505 photo.
