Don't have a real preamp for it yet but should be interesting to see how it fares against my 845 int amp :mrgreen:

    Congrats, what power tubes are you using in the MC? They look like KT-120s.

    Have to agree with Skip, room treatments can be cheap and look nice but just important they will improve your sound greatly.
    Speakers: SDA-1C (most all the goodies)
    Preamp: Joule Electra LA-150 MKII SE
    Amp: Wright WPA 50-50 EAT KT88s
    Analog: Marantz TT-15S1 MBS Glider SL| Wright WPP100C Amperex BB 6er5 and 7316 & WPM-100 SUT
    Digital: Mac mini 2.3GHz dual-core i5 8g RAM 1.5 TB HDD Music Server Amarra (memory play) - USB - W4S DAC 2
    Cables: Mits S3 IC and Spk cables| PS Audio PCs

    Those are all stock tubes. Just got the amp last night.

    Those MC275s are terrible. In fact, you should toss it out immediately...or better yet, send it to me for proper disposal.
    I just want to do what I can to help the community. :twisted:

    My buddy's shop has a pair of the anniversary editions that have never been plugged in and are sitting inside a plexiglass display case. I really wish I could hit the powerball so I could buy the pair just to have.
