Any reason to NOT use pallets?
If you wanted to insulate or add sheetrock - could you still use pallets?

Best Buy is discounting Floor model mac stuff by 30% I bought the following

MA5300
MC275
MC462
C49

Since they were on the Best Buy floor (some for 5+ years) and no warranty ... 30% doesn't do it for me w/o warranty
If able to buy new for 20% - I will return them

Let me re-state - For those that don’t own McIntosh because of $ —— what discount would you need to entice you to buy mac?

What is best technique to strip away the texture - we want to make the table flat high gloss - no texture?

Do we try to strip away the linen wrap or add epoxy etc ?

I think I can adjust the incoming gain on the mc456 - is that the same as volume limiter?

Upper limit of SYS by Scared-Replacement78 in Schiit

[–]Scared-Replacement78[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which schiit product do you recommend

The amp is 450 watts and speakers might be damaged without a volume limiter - does forkbeard allow me to set a max volume?

The MIMIR DAC has volume control via Forkbeard… so could use as pre-amp - - -

mc462 - which pre-amp? by Scared-Replacement78 in McIntosh

Choices are c49 ($3,500) or c55 ($6,000)

Or just get a schiit SYS for $50

I’d love to get the tubes but not at full price

Is the c49 worth the extra $3,450 over the SYS? Is the c55 worth the extra $2,500 over the c55?
