(Best Ever Made) - New Old Stock - w\/Free Shipping","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe are pleased to present a rare opportunity to own one of the finest and most exclusive amplifiers ever made. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe JA800 was available in several configurations, and this the most extravagant and rare six chassis version. That's right, six entirely separate chassis for two channels of amplification. The two larger units are the power supplies, while the four smaller units are the output stages. It can deliver 400W per side in its most powerful configuration. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a massive and heavy amplifier requiring quite a bit of real estate to lay out properly. They are very heavy, requiring at least three people to set them in place safely. The included service straps allow you to safely remove them from the shipping boxes and drop them in place. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll Jadis products are still hand crafted in France, while the metalwork is done in Germany. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe owner of these units had a custom steel floor stand made to get the units off the floor about 10 inches. The stand consists of very high quality welded construction with powder coating all around. It is sized to perfectly fit the amplifiers, giving a custom and well refined look. You do not need to use these floor stands as we've seen others place the units directly on the floor, or on some sort of plinth. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis amplifier came to us from a deceased collector and extreme audiophile that was in the process of assembling a very complex reference Jadis system comprised of over *20* components. We believe the intent was to drive the bass drivers on the Jadis Eurythhmie speakers with these amps, while utilizing the JA845's for the other drivers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition is like new or NOS (New Old Stock). There is no evidence that these units were ever used or even fired up. The tubes (KT90) are brand new and all the protective shipping material is still in place underneath the tube cages. There is only some evidence they were removed from their boxes at some point. Likely so they could be measured and laid out to facilitate the design of the custom stand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe would like to keep these units in complete \"un-used\" condition, and will not fire them up unless the new owner requests prior to shipping. We do guarantee these will arrive in working condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese ship for free anywhere in the contiguous 48 states. Worldwide shipping also available for an additional $400 fee. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eObvious as NOS rated, these come with all of their original packaging, accessories, power cords, umbilical cords, manuals etc, as if they just left the factory. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd if you'd like to assemble a complete NOS Jadis system, please \u003ca title=\"Contact SkyFi Audio\" href=\"https:\/\/skyfiaudio.com\/pages\/how-to-reach-us\" target=\"_blank\"\u003econtact us\u003c\/a\u003e as we have enough stock for several systems. \u003ca title=\"The SkyFi Audio Jadis Collection\" href=\"https:\/\/skyfiaudio.com\/collections\/our-jadis-collection\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eClick here\u003c\/a\u003e to view all of our currently listed Jadis pieces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis amplifier is no longer made by Jadis, and their current flagship is the JA500 with an inferior four chassis smaller design. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1997 when this was manufactured it retailed for $80k.

All signal gain is executed with surface mount technology using proprietary multiple-output current mirrors with nearly 500 times the open loop linearity of other designs. Featuring 700 kHz bandwidth in a zero feedback, balanced, Krell Current Mode design, the Phantom III shares the same design philosophy as its bigger brother, the flagship Phantom preamplifier. Negative feedback is not used anywhere in the preamp, nor is it necessary. Open-loop distortion is typically less than 0.003%. The volume control is realized with a balanced resistor ladder - bandwidth and transient response of the preamp circuitry are virtually unaffected by the volume setting. The headphone circuitry is identical to the main circuitry, offering private listening with the same performance as speaker playback. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e**Digital Module Highlights**\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe digital module supports up to 24 bit\/192kHz LPCM.

Capacitors are checked for telltale sings of bulging or leaking, resistors are checked for signs of overheating or cracking, and transistors are checked for signs of stress or damage. Special attention is paid to the power supply which is the most common source of failure for preamps. We then power up the unit and run a simple 1k sine wave while monitoring the low voltage output on an oscilloscope for signs of distortion or noise to get a baseline. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt this point we will lubricate and clean all switches and potentiometers (that are not sealed) with a high quality contact cleaner, and then re-test all functions for any signs of noise or scratching. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFinal testing involves putting actual music through the preamplifier We have learned over time that some issues are only noticeable to a trained ear while listening to a familiar source material. Our test bench has reference vintage KEF speakers that we are super familiar with which will quickly reveal any discrepancies. Some preamps will then move into the listening room where they will be tested with our in-house reference system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable data-mce-fragment=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eItem\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIncluded\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOriginal Box\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003eYes Included\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eManual\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003eYes Included\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRemote\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003eYes Included\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCables\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003eYes - Power Only\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePhysical Condition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e9 \/ 10\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWorking Condition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" align=\"center\"\u003e 10 \/ 10\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"This Is How We Pack Sensitive Electronics at SkyFi Audio, Less Than 0.2% Shipping Damage\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wuWesEecAbE\" height=\"720\" width=\"1280\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer;

Capacitors are checked for telltale signs of predictive failure including bulging, shrunken wrappers, or physical leakage. We also inspect the PCB’s for discoloration from resistors or transistors that may have been running hot. On vintage units we often spot check select capacitors for value and ESR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen we first power on a preamplifier we connect its RCA output to a Sencore PA81 Power Analyzer which simulates real world loading conditions and gives us an oscilloscope interface. The first order of business is checking that the volume control works smoothly throughout its entire range with acceptable channel balance. This is accomplished by feeding a 1KHz sine wave into one of the preamp’s line level inputs while monitoring the preamp’s output on an oscilloscope. We then switch to a 1KHz square wave to test the tone controls, loudness function, and filters where applicable. During this step we are watching for equal alteration of the test signal by both channels. This also helps us identify dirty controls that will need treatment. Once the basic line stage functions are verified, we test each input individually. This is especially important for devices that use relays to select their sources. If the preamp is equipped with a phono stage we test that as well. We use an inverse RIAA filter which allows us to feed a reference test signal into the phono input with the proper RIAA equalization and level. A square wave or sine sweep is used to verify that the device’s phono stage is faithfully reproducing the RIAA curve. If the preamp under test has balanced inputs and\/or outputs these are tested as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe finish up our bench testing with a listening test with our bench amplifier and reference speakers. During this test we check for hum or hiss that may not have shown up in earlier testing. We also check that all of the tone controls and filters perform as expected. If the preamplifier has remote control functions these are also tested. Preamps with tube circuits or complicated power supply topologies are connected at our long term test rig for extended stress testing under real world conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe SkyFi Testing Process for Solid State Amplifiers:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWe start with a visual inspection of all internal components to make sure that there are no signs of heat stress or damage. Capacitors are checked for telltale signs of predictive failure including bulging, shrunken wrappers, or physical leakage. We also inspect the PCBs for discoloration from resistors or transistors that may have been running hot. On vintage units we often spot check select capacitors for value and ESR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the amplifier passes visual inspection, we move on to a controlled power on sequence using a Sencore safety analyzer to monitor current draw in real time. Once the amplifier is determined to be safe to operate, we connect it to full AC mains for function and power testing. We connect the speaker outputs of the amplifier to a Sencore PA81 Power Analyzer which acts as a dummy load, DC offset monitor, and oscilloscope interface. We start with a low level 1KHz test signal at the amplifier’s input and slowly increase its amplitude while monitoring the output on an oscilloscope for signs of noise, clipping, distortion, or improper channel balance. We continue increasing the signal level until the amplifier reaches clipping. At this point we take an output power measurement and compare it to the spec sheet of the amplifier to verify proper performance. If the device under test has both balanced and single ended inputs they are both tested at this time. We finish off the bench evaluation with a 1KHz square wave check and a 20Hz to 20KHz sine sweep to assess the amplifier’s frequency response characteristics. This battery of tests will usually reveal if the amplifier has any issues that need further attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore the device leaves the bench, we perform a listening test with actual music using a variety of preferred test tracks. Our benches are outfitted with familiar monitor speakers which help us identify inconsistencies that will not always show up on our test gear.

Capacitors are checked for telltale sings of bulging or leaking, resistors are checked for signs of overheating or cracking, and transistors are checked for signs of stress or damage. Special attention is paid to the power supply which is the most common source of failure for preamps. We then power up the unit and run a simple 1k sine wave while monitoring the low voltage output on an oscilloscope for signs of distortion or noise to get a baseline. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt this point we will lubricate and clean all switches and potentiometers (that are not sealed) with a high quality contact cleaner, and then re-test all functions for any signs of noise or scratching. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFinal testing involves putting actual music through the preamplifier. We have learned over time that some issues are only noticeable to a trained ear while listening to a familiar source material. Our test bench has reference vintage KEF speakers that we are super familiar with which will quickly reveal any discrepancies. Some preamps will then move into the listening room where they will be tested with our in-house reference system. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlease \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/ourpackingprocess\" title=\"Please click here for detailed specifics regarding our specialized packing process that separates us from the rest.\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/ourpackingprocess\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eclick here\u003c\/a\u003e for detailed specifics regarding our specialized packing process that separates us from the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eItem\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIncluded\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOriginal Box\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eManual\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOnline\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRemote\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCables\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYes -

Its flexible design accommodates a wide range of demands, and shielded audio circuits produce an incomparable sound fit for sophisticated music reproduction systems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a single-chassis design, the N°326S achieves separation of audio circuit, control circuit, and power supply sections similar to that of the dual-chassis N°32.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe internal structure of the N°326S separates these sections, while a steel shield box protects the power supply and other circuits against electrostatic and magnetic interference. Filtered AC power is routed outside audio circuit sections, providing audio circuits with the quiet, shielded environment essential for superior sound. Like most high-performance audio components, the N°326S relies on clean, noise-free AC power to deliver maximum performance. Unfortunately, most AC power does not meet these standards. Common household appliances such as refrigerators, TVs, and computers often contaminate AC power lines with line noise, spikes, and other irregularities that make it difficult for audio circuits to perform up to their full potential.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo compensate for this, the N°326S offers a series of highly effective noise suppression and isolation techniques that begin filtering AC power for noise as soon as it enters the chassis. Audio and control circuit sections use independent power supplies, each with its own low-noise toroidal transformer. The audio circuit power transformer includes a Faraday shield between the AC power line and low-voltage secondaries for improved isolation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe SkyFi Testing Process for Preamplifiers:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe start with a visual inspection of all internal components to make sure there are no signs of stress or aging. Capacitors are checked for telltale sings of bulging or leaking, resistors are checked for signs of overheating or cracking, and transistors are checked for signs of stress or damage. Special attention is paid to the power supply which is the most common source of failure for preamps. We then power up the unit and run a simple 1k sine wave while monitoring the low voltage output on an oscilloscope for signs of distortion or noise to get a baseline. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt this point we will lubricate and clean all switches and potentiometers (that are not sealed) with a high quality contact cleaner, and then re-test all functions for any signs of noise or scratching. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFinal testing involves putting actual music through the preamplifier. We have learned over time that some issues are only noticeable to a trained ear while listening to a familiar source material. Our test bench has reference vintage KEF speakers that we are super familiar with which will quickly reveal any discrepancies. Some preamps will then move into the listening room where they will be tested with our in-house reference system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable data-mce-fragment=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eItem\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIncluded\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOriginal Box\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003eNot Included\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eManual\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003eYes and Online\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRemote\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003eYes Included\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCables\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003eYes - Power Only\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePhysical Condition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e8 \/ 10\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWorking Condition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" align=\"center\"\u003e10 \/ 10\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wuWesEecAbE\" title=\"This Is How We Pack Sensitive Electronics at SkyFi Audio, Less Than 0.2% Shipping Damage\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;

Some amplifiers will then move into our listening room where they are tested with our in-house reference speakers of choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eIncluded\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOriginal Boxes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003eYes Included\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eManual\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003eOnline Only\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eRemote\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003eNot Applicable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCables\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003eYes - Power Only\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhysical Condition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e9 \/ 10\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWorking Condition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e10 \/ 10\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MC1.25KW Quad Balanced Power Amplifier is one of our most advanced amplifiers.

Capacitors are checked for telltale signs of predictive failure including bulging, shrunken wrappers, or physical leakage. We also inspect the PCB’s for discoloration from resistors or transistors that may have been running hot. On vintage units we often spot check select capacitors for value and ESR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen we first power on a preamplifier we connect its RCA output to a Sencore PA81 Power Analyzer which simulates real world loading conditions and gives us an oscilloscope interface. The first order of business is checking that the volume control works smoothly throughout its entire range with acceptable channel balance. This is accomplished by feeding a 1KHz sine wave into one of the preamp’s line level inputs while monitoring the preamp’s output on an oscilloscope. We then switch to a 1KHz square wave to test the tone controls, loudness function, and filters where applicable. During this step we are watching for equal alteration of the test signal by both channels. This also helps us identify dirty controls that will need treatment. Once the basic line stage functions are verified, we test each input individually. This is especially important for devices that use relays to select their sources. If the preamp is equipped with a phono stage we test that as well. We use an inverse RIAA filter which allows us to feed a reference test signal into the phono input with the proper RIAA equalization and level. A square wave or sine sweep is used to verify that the device’s phono stage is faithfully reproducing the RIAA curve. If the preamp under test has balanced inputs and\/or outputs these are tested as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe finish up our bench testing with a listening test with our bench amplifier and reference speakers. During this test we check for hum or hiss that may not have shown up in earlier testing. We also check that all of the tone controls and filters perform as expected. If the preamplifier has remote control functions these are also tested. Preamps with tube circuits or complicated power supply topologies are connected at our long term test rig for extended stress testing under real world conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe SkyFi Testing Process for Tuners:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe start with a visual inspection of all internal components to make sure that there are no signs of heat stress or damage.

We also inspect the PCBs for discoloration from resistors or transistors that may have been running hot. On vintage units we often spot check select capacitors for value and ESR. Vintage analog tuners also have moving parts related to the tuning gang and dial string. These parts are inspected for smooth operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the unit passes visual inspection it is bench tested for a handful of key performance parameters using a Sencore SG80 AM\/FM Stereo Analyzer. The SG80 allows us to “simulate” an ideal radio station using precision test signals instead of music.

signs of stress or aging. Capacitors are checked for telltale sings of bulging or leaking, resistors are checked for signs of overheating or cracking, and transistors are checked for signs of stress or damage. Special attention is paid to the power supply which is the most common source of failure for preamps.

Our test bench has reference vintage KEF speakers that we are super familiar with which will quickly reveal any discrepancies. Some preamps will then move into the listening room where they will be tested with our in-house reference system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe SkyFi Testing Process for Preamplifiers:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe start with a visual inspection of all internal components to make sure that there are no signs of heat stress or damage. Capacitors are checked for telltale signs of predictive failure including bulging, shrunken wrappers, or physical leakage. We also inspect the PCBs for discoloration from resistors or transistors that may have been running hot. On vintage units we often spot check select capacitors for value and ESR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen we first power on a preamplifier we connect its RCA output to a Sencore PA81 Power Analyzer which simulates real world loading conditions and gives us an oscilloscope interface. The first order of business is checking that the volume control works smoothly throughout its entire range with acceptable channel balance. This is accomplished by feeding a 1KHz sine wave into one of the preamp’s line level inputs while monitoring the preamp’s output on an oscilloscope. We then switch to a 1KHz square wave to test the tone controls, loudness function, and filters where applicable. During this step we are watching for equal alteration of the test signal by both channels. This also helps us identify dirty controls that will need treatment. Once the basic line stage functions are verified, we test each input individually. This is especially important for devices that use relays to select their sources. If the preamp is equipped with a phono stage we test that as well. We use an inverse RIAA filter which allows us to feed a reference test signal into the phono input with the proper RIAA equalization and level. A square wave or sine sweep is used to verify that the device’s phono stage is faithfully reproducing the RIAA curve. If the preamp under test has balanced inputs and\/or outputs these are tested as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe finish up our bench testing with a listening test with our bench amplifier and reference speakers. During this test we check for hum or hiss that may not have shown up in earlier testing. We also check that all of the tone controls and filters perform as expected. If the preamplifier has remote control functions these are also tested. Preamps with tube circuits or complicated power supply topologies are connected at our long term test rig for extended stress testing under real world conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eItem\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIncluded\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOriginal Box\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYes Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eManual\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYes Included\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRemote\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNot Applicable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCables\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYes -

Capacitors are checked for telltale signs of predictive failure including bulging, shrunken wrappers, or physical leakage. We also inspect the PCBs for discoloration from resistors or transistors that may have been running hot. On vintage units we often spot check select capacitors for value and ESR. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the device has the ability to decouple the preamplifier from the power amplifier, we remove the jumpers and independently test each section. If the device cannot be decoupled, we assess the electronic condition of the piece by analyzing the speaker level output only. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe start by connecting the \"Pre-Out\" jacks of the receiver to a Sencore PA81 Power Analyzer which simulates real world loading conditions and gives us an oscilloscope interface. The first order of business is checking that the volume control works smoothly throughout its entire range with acceptable channel balance. This is accomplished by feeding a 1 KHz sine wave into one of the preamp’s line level inputs while monitoring the preamp’s output on an oscilloscope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe then switch to a 1 KHz square wave to test the tone controls, loudness function, and filters where applicable. During this step we are watching for equal alteration of the test signal by both channels. This also helps us identify dirty controls that will need treatment. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the basic line stage functions are verified, we test each input individually. This is especially important for devices that use relays to select their sources. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the preamp section is equipped with a phono stage we test that as well. We use an inverse RIAA filter which allows us to feed a reference test signal into the phono input with the proper RIAA equalization and level. A square wave or sine sweep is used to verify that the device’s phono stage is faithfully reproducing the RIAA curve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo test the tuner, we connect one of the tape outputs to the Sencore PA81 and the antenna terminals to a Sencore SG80 which allows us to “simulate” an ideal radio station using precision test signals instead of music. This device, in conjunction with an oscilloscope allows us to properly evaluate the following parameters:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1) AM Reception (Where Applicable)\u003cbr\u003e2) FM Mono Reception \u0026amp; Tuning Meter Function\u003cbr\u003e3) FM MPX Reception (Stereo)\u003cbr\u003e4) Dial Tracking: How accurately the tuner dial or display indicates the actual frequency of the broadcast being received.\u003cbr\u003e5) Stereo Separation: A properly working stereo tuner will have minimal crosstalk between the left and right channel.\u003cbr\u003e6) Sensitivity \u0026amp; Signal Strength Meter Function: By lowering the output of the SG80 we can simulate weak stations and determine how well the tuner will be able to pull in weak distant stations. This adjustment also helps us verify signal strength meter function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the tuner has acceptable performance related to the parameters above, we connect the unit for listening tests with a simple dipole antenna. We listen for audio reproduction quality of local stations and evaluate how many stations the tuner can receive while we sweep through the dial. We are looking to verify that the tuner can decode stereo on strong local broadcasts and pick up a wide variety of local stations at the bottom, middle, and top of the frequency band. At this point we also test convenience features such as muting, filters, built in oscilloscope function, etc.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNext we test the power amplifier section by connecting the receiver's speaker outputs to a Sencore PA81 Power Analyzer which acts as a dummy load, DC offset monitor, and oscilloscope interface. We start with a low level 1 KHz test signal at the Main In” jacks and slowly increase its amplitude while monitoring the output on an oscilloscope for signs of noise, clipping, distortion, or improper channel balance. We continue increasing the signal level until the amplifier reaches clipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt this point we take an output power measurement and compare it to the spec sheet of the amplifier to verify proper performance. We finish off the bench evaluation with a 1 KHz square wave check and a 20 Hz to 20 KHz sine sweep to assess the amplifier’s frequency response characteristics. This battery of tests will usually reveal if the amplifier has any issues that need further attention. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the preamp and power amp both pass these tests, we reconnect the sections and verify that the preamp section can drive the power amp to rated power with a 1 KHz tone on one of the line level inputs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore the device leaves the bench, we perform a listening test with actual music using a variety of preferred test tracks. Our benches are outfitted with familiar monitor speakers which help us identify inconsistencies that will not always show up on our test gear. The main things that we are listening for are hum or noise with no signal present, proper center image, clicks, pops, or any other obvious undesirable audio characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the unit passes all of these tests it is moved to our long term testing rig where we simulate real word operating conditions for 6-8 hours minimum. This allows us to monitor the unit for signs of thermal runaway or intermittent issues that only crop up when the unit has fully come up to temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wuWesEecAbE?\u0026amp;autoplay=1\u0026amp;mute=1\" height=\"720\" width=\"1280\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marantz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43165502406910,"sku":"101023","price":1590.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0003\/3275\/9084\/files\/marantz-model-eighteen-the-first-receiver-40wpc-with-phono-input-integrated-amplifier-154.jpg?v=1757093024"},{"product_id":"mcintosh-mc7106-6-six-channel-solid-state-amplifier-w-led-vu-meters-lucasfilm-thx-rated","title":"McIntosh MC7106, 6 Channel Solid State Amp w\/LED VU Meters, Lucasfilm THX Rated","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuper flexible and powerful Lucasfilm THX rated theater amplifier from McIntosh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6 x 100 Watt amplifier channels in a single chassis!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Note that a current McIntosh home theater amp will set you back over $7k\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou can configure this beast in the following configurations:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• 3 x 300W for 3 channels total\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• 4 x 100W and 1 x 300W for 3 channels total\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• 6 x 100W for 6 channels total\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• 2 x 100 \u003cem\u003eAND\u003c\/em\u003e 2 x 300 for 4 channels total)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 6 x LED VU meters\u003c\/span\u003e, not activated in the pictures, are simply gorgeous and very useful. There is also an adjustable display brightness control as shown on the back panel photo in this listing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis unit, like almost all other McIntosh units, uses a front glass face plate which provides an attractive and very durable finish.

Capacitors are checked for telltale signs of predictive failure including bulging, shrunken wrappers, or physical leakage. We also inspect the PCBs for discoloration from resistors or transistors that may have been running hot. On vintage units we often spot check select capacitors for value and ESR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the amplifier passes visual inspection, we move on to a controlled power on sequence using a Sencore safety analyzer to monitor current draw in real time. Once the amplifier is determined to be safe to operate, we connect it to full AC mains for function and power testing. We connect the speaker outputs of the amplifier to a Sencore PA81 Power Analyzer which acts as a dummy load, DC offset monitor, and oscilloscope interface. We start with a low level 1KHz test signal at the amplifier’s input and slowly increase its amplitude while monitoring the output on an oscilloscope for signs of noise, clipping, distortion, or improper channel balance. We continue increasing the signal level until the amplifier reaches clipping. At this point we take an output power measurement and compare it to the spec sheet of the amplifier to verify proper performance. If the device under test has both balanced and single ended inputs they are both tested at this time. We finish off the bench evaluation with a 1KHz square wave check and a 20Hz to 20KHz sine sweep to assess the amplifier’s frequency response characteristics. This battery of tests will usually reveal if the amplifier has any issues that need further attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore the device leaves the bench, we perform a listening test with actual music using a variety of preferred test tracks.

Capacitors are checked for telltale signs of predictive failure including bulging, shrunken wrappers, or physical leakage. We also inspect resistors and other passive components for signs of overheating. If tube arcing has occurred in the past we can usually spot discoloration on the output tube sockets. On vintage units we often spot check select capacitors for value and ESR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the amplifier passes visual inspection, we move on to a full test of all of the tubes. We use an Amplitrex AT-1000 Tube Tester which is capable of testing both emission and Gm with a high degree of accuracy. We document the results of each tube and replace any weak or suspect tubes before proceeding. When we power on tube amplifiers for the first time we usually use a variac and current limited AC supply and slowly raise the voltage up to nominal mains level while monitoring plate, screen, filament, and negative bias supply voltages where applicable. If everything is in order we feed a low level test signal into the amplifier’s input and monitor its output on an oscilloscope across an 8 ohm dummy load. At this point we are just looking to verify basic function and confirm that the output transformers are not damaged. Once we have verified that the amplifier is safe to operate, we connected it to full mains power. For fixed bias amps we set the bias to manufacturer spec. For cathode biased amps we monitor the plate to cathode voltage to determine if the output tubes are operating in a safe range. Once the output section is verified we move onto bench evaluation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe start by feeding the input of the amplifier with a low level 1KHz test signal, slowly increase its amplitude while monitoring the amplifier’s output on an oscilloscope for signs of noise, clipping, distortion, or improper channel balance. We continue increasing the signal level until the amplifier reaches clipping. At this point we take an output power measurement and compare it to the spec sheet of the amplifier to verify proper performance. We finish off the bench evaluation with a 1KHz square wave check and a 20Hz to 20KHz sine sweep to assess the amplifier’s frequency response characteristics. This battery of tests will usually reveal if the amplifier has any issues that need further attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore the device leaves the bench, we perform a listening test with actual music using a variety of preferred test tracks. Our benches are outfitted with familiar monitor speakers which help us identify inconsistencies that will not always show up on our test gear. The main things that we are listening for are hum or noise with no signal present, proper center image, clicks, pops, or any other obvious undesirable audio characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the unit passes all of these tests it is moved to our long term testing rig where we simulate real word operating conditions for 6-8 hours. For tube amps we like to run this test at least twice. This allows us to monitor the unit for signs of thermal runaway or intermittent issues that only crop up when it has fully come up to temperature. We find this step to be essential, especially for vintage units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Cables:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/skyfiaudio.com\/collections\/our-kimber-kable-collection\/products\/kimber-kable-select-series-ks1016-copper-rca-analog-interconnects-pair-wbt-connectors-new\" title=\"Select Series KS1016 Copper RCA Analog Interconnects (Pair) - WBT Connectors\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSelect Series KS1016 Copper RCA Analog Interconnects (Pair) - WBT Connectors\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/skyfiaudio.com\/products\/kimber-kable-summit-series-monocle-xl-speaker-cables-pair-new\" title=\"Summit Series Monocle XL Speaker Cables (PAIR)\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSummit Series Monocle XL Speaker Cables (PAIR)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"Summit Series BiFocal XL Bi-Wire Speaker Cables (PAIR)\" href=\"https:\/\/skyfiaudio.com\/products\/kimber-kable-summit-series-bifocal-xl-bi-wire-speaker-cables-pair-new\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSummit Series BiFocal XL Bi-Wire Speaker Cables (PAIR)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/skyfiaudio.com\/products\/kimber-kable-ascent-series-pk10-pk-10-power-cord-brand-new?_pos=2\u0026amp;_sid=36f592809\u0026amp;_ss=r\u0026amp;variant=33307047198806\" title=\"Ascent Series PK10 Power Cord\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAscent Series PK10 Power Cord\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"This Is How We Pack Sensitive Electronics at SkyFi Audio, Less Than 0.2% Shipping Damage\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wuWesEecAbE?\u0026amp;autoplay=1\u0026amp;mute=1\" height=\"720\" width=\"1280\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McIntosh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43447491854590,"sku":"102605","price":29900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0003\/3275\/9084\/files\/mcintosh-mc3500-legendary-vintage-tube-mono-amplifiers-unmolested-call-for-restoration-options-amplifier-233.jpg?v=1770311238"},{"product_id":"veloce-audio-lithio-series-saetta-hybrid-tube-monoblock-amplifiers-rare","title":"Veloce Audio - Lithio Series Saetta Hybrid Tube Monoblock Amplifiers - Rare","description":"\u003cp\u003eSuper rare hybrid amplifiers from Veloce Audio, made right here in the USA. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn like new condition, possibly NOS \/ New Old Stock, as there isn't a single sign of any use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e$19,000 MSRP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"1114\" height=\"627\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aqPo_tVtIW8?\u0026amp;autoplay=1\u0026amp;mute=1%0A\" title=\"Veloce Saetta Mono Blocks - Tubes and Batteries Making Magic -  Quick Look\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most striking designs we've simply ever seen, utilizing an outboard SmartSupply charging unit along with the highest quality components available. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese are Hybrid mono amps meaning they use Lithio pure DC power supplies inside of each amplifier (see photos).

Capacitors are checked for telltale signs of predictive failure including bulging, shrunken wrappers, or physical leakage. We also inspect resistors and other passive components for signs of overheating. If tube arcing has occurred in the past we can usually spot discoloration on the output tube sockets. On vintage units we often spot check select capacitors for value and ESR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf the amplifier passes visual inspection, we move on to a full test of all of the tubes. We use an Amplitrex AT-1000 Tube Tester which is capable of testing both emission and Gm with a high degree of accuracy. We document the results of each tube and replace any weak or suspect tubes before proceeding. When we power on tube amplifiers for the first time we usually use a variac and current limited AC supply and slowly raise the voltage up to nominal mains level while monitoring plate, screen, filament, and negative bias supply voltages where applicable. If everything is in order we feed a low level test signal into the amplifier’s input and monitor its output on an oscilloscope across an 8 ohm dummy load. At this point we are just looking to verify basic function and confirm that the output transformers are not damaged. Once we have verified that the amplifier is safe to operate, we connected it to full mains power. For fixed bias amps we set the bias to manufacturer spec. For cathode biased amps we monitor the plate to cathode voltage to determine if the output tubes are operating in a safe range. Once the output section is verified we move onto bench evaluation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe start by feeding the input of the amplifier with a low level 1KHz test signal, slowly increase its amplitude while monitoring the amplifier’s output on an oscilloscope for signs of noise, clipping, distortion, or improper channel balance. We continue increasing the signal level until the amplifier reaches clipping. At this point we take an output power measurement and compare it to the spec sheet of the amplifier to verify proper performance. We finish off the bench evaluation with a 1KHz square wave check and a 20Hz to 20KHz sine sweep to assess the amplifier’s frequency response characteristics. This battery of tests will usually reveal if the amplifier has any issues that need further attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBefore the device leaves the bench, we perform a listening test with actual music using a variety of preferred test tracks. Our benches are outfitted with familiar monitor speakers which help us identify inconsistencies that will not always show up on our test gear. The main things that we are listening for are hum or noise with no signal present, proper center image, clicks, pops, or any other obvious undesirable audio characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf the unit passes all of these tests it is moved to our long term testing rig where we simulate real word operating conditions for 6-8 hours. For tube amps we like to run this test at least twice. This allows us to monitor the unit for signs of thermal runaway or intermittent issues that only crop up when it has fully come up to temperature. We find this step to be essential, especially for vintage units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable data-mce-fragment=\"1\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" color=\"#000000\" size=\"2\" face=\"Helvetica Neue\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eItem\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" color=\"#000000\" size=\"2\" face=\"Helvetica Neue\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIncluded\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" color=\"#000000\" size=\"2\" face=\"Helvetica Neue\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOriginal Boxes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" align=\"center\"\u003eYes Included\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" color=\"#000000\" size=\"2\" face=\"Helvetica Neue\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eManual\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" align=\"center\"\u003eYes Included\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" color=\"#000000\" size=\"2\" face=\"Helvetica Neue\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRemote\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" align=\"center\"\u003eNot Applicable\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" color=\"#000000\" size=\"2\" face=\"Helvetica Neue\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCables\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" color=\"#000000\" size=\"2\" face=\"Helvetica Neue\"\u003eYes Power \u0026amp;

Capacitors are checked for telltale signs of predictive failure including bulging, shrunken wrappers, or physical leakage. We also inspect resistors and other passive components for signs of overheating. If tube arcing has occurred in the past we can usually spot discoloration on the output tube sockets. On vintage units we often spot check select capacitors for value and ESR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the amplifier passes visual inspection, we move on to a full test of all of the tubes. We use an Amplitrex AT-1000 Tube Tester which is capable of testing both emission and Gm with a high degree of accuracy. We document the results of each tube and replace any weak or suspect tubes before proceeding. When we power on tube amplifiers for the first time we usually use a variac and current limited AC supply and slowly raise the voltage up to nominal mains level while monitoring plate, screen, filament, and negative bias supply voltages where applicable. If everything is in order we feed a low level test signal into the amplifier’s input and monitor its output on an oscilloscope across an 8 ohm dummy load. At this point we are just looking to verify basic function and confirm that the output transformers are not damaged. Once we have verified that the amplifier is safe to operate, we connected it to full mains power. For fixed bias amps we set the bias to manufacturer spec. For cathode biased amps we monitor the plate to cathode voltage to determine if the output tubes are operating in a safe range. Once the output section is verified we move onto bench evaluation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe start by feeding the input of the amplifier with a low level 1KHz test signal, slowly increase its amplitude while monitoring the amplifier’s output on an oscilloscope for signs of noise, clipping, distortion, or improper channel balance. We continue increasing the signal level until the amplifier reaches clipping. At this point we take an output power measurement and compare it to the spec sheet of the amplifier to verify proper performance. We finish off the bench evaluation with a 1KHz square wave check and a 20Hz to 20KHz sine sweep to assess the amplifier’s frequency response characteristics.

Capacitors are checked for telltale signs of predictive failure including bulging, shrunken wrappers, or physical leakage. We also inspect the PCB’s for discoloration from resistors or transistors that may have been running hot. On vintage units we often spot check select capacitors for value and ESR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen we first power on a preamplifier we connect its RCA output to a Sencore PA81 Power Analyzer which simulates real world loading conditions and gives us an oscilloscope interface. The first order of business is checking that the volume control works smoothly throughout its entire range with acceptable channel balance. This is accomplished by feeding a 1KHz sine wave into one of the preamp’s line level inputs while monitoring the preamp’s output on an oscilloscope. We then switch to a 1KHz square wave to test the tone controls, loudness function, and filters where applicable. During this step we are watching for equal alteration of the test signal by both channels. This also helps us identify dirty controls that will need treatment. Once the basic line stage functions are verified, we test each input individually. This is especially important for devices that use relays to select their sources. If the preamp is equipped with a phono stage we test that as well. We use an inverse RIAA filter which allows us to feed a reference test signal into the phono input with the proper RIAA equalization and level. A square wave or sine sweep is used to verify that the device’s phono stage is faithfully reproducing the RIAA curve. If the preamp under test has balanced inputs and\/or outputs these are tested as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe finish up our bench testing with a listening test with our bench amplifier and reference speakers. During this test we check for hum or hiss that may not have shown up in earlier testing. We also check that all of the tone controls and filters perform as expected.

Capacitors are checked for telltale signs of predictive failure including bulging, shrunken wrappers, or physical leakage. We also inspect the PCBs for discoloration from resistors or transistors that may have been running hot. On vintage units we often spot check select capacitors for value and ESR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen we first power on a preamplifier we connect its RCA output to a Sencore PA81 Power Analyzer which simulates real world loading conditions and gives us an oscilloscope interface. The first order of business is checking that the volume control works smoothly throughout its entire range with acceptable channel balance. This is accomplished by feeding a 1KHz sine wave into one of the preamp’s line level inputs while monitoring the preamp’s output on an oscilloscope. We then switch to a 1KHz square wave to test the tone controls, loudness function, and filters where applicable. During this step we are watching for equal alteration of the test signal by both channels. This also helps us identify dirty controls that will need treatment. Once the basic line stage functions are verified, we test each input individually. This is especially important for devices that use relays to select their sources. If the preamp is equipped with a phono stage we test that as well. We use an inverse RIAA filter which allows us to feed a reference test signal into the phono input with the proper RIAA equalization and level. A square wave or sine sweep is used to verify that the device’s phono stage is faithfully reproducing the RIAA curve. If the preamp under test has balanced inputs and\/or outputs these are tested as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe finish up our bench testing with a listening test with our bench amplifier and reference speakers. During this test we check for hum or hiss that may not have shown up in earlier testing. We also check that all of the tone controls and filters perform as expected. If the preamplifier has remote control functions these are also tested.

With support for breathtaking 8K\/60Hz and 4K\/120Hz video and leading home theater surround sound audio formats Dolby® Atmos and DTS:X™, plus delivering 120 – 150 Watts of legendary McIntosh power to your home theater speakers, the MHT300 will make your home theater dreams come true.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFull Power to All Speakers All the Time\u003cbr\u003eDon’t be fooled by high watts per channel specs listed by many other AV receivers on the market as many times the fine print will show that those power ratings only apply to just two channels driven. That may be fine for a stereo setup, but a home theater has a lot more than just two channels to drive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the MHT300, the power ratings are for all seven channels being driven. That means every 4 Ohm speaker will receive 150 Watts and every 8 Ohm speaker will receive 120 Watts of heart pounding McIntosh power to bring all your favorite movies and video content to life. Every explosion, every car chase, every high-speed flyby of a fighter jet or spaceship, every roar of the crowd after a game winning score will be faithfully reproduced by 120 – 150 Watts on every one of your speakers. With the MHT300, you’ll no longer have to wonder if each speaker is getting the full power listed on the box.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCan Expand with Your Needs\u003cbr\u003eThe MHT300 can also grow with your theater as its individual amplifier modules can be configured in many ways to suit your specific speaker configuration. If someday your home cinema expands beyond seven channels, additional external amplifiers can be connected to the MHT300 to power them via the Height 1 and Height 2 audio outputs. An external amplifier, such as the McIntosh MI254 4-Channel Amplifier, would be connected to these outputs to drive these additional speakers. This would effectively turn the MHT300 into a 7.2.4 channel AVR.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven if you do not add more speakers to your home cinema, more power could be added. For example, if you decide you want more power for your front left and right speakers, you can add an external stereo amplifier to your system (such as the McIntosh MI502 amplifier) and connect it to the MHT300 by simply removing the jumper from the selected channel(s), then connecting the output on the MHT300 to the input on the stereo amplifier. Or you could connect a higher power mono amplifier to drive the center channel speaker. In these cases, the selected channel(s) would be driven by the more powerful external amplifier.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eState of the Art Room Correction\u003cbr\u003eAdvanced room adjustment and correction is provided via Dirac Live® Room Correction. Dirac Live is an advanced room acoustic solution that enables users to optimize their sound systems and reduce unwanted effects introduced by the room.

Each HDMI port is HDCP 2.3 compliant and support 8K\/60Hz and 4K\/120Hz. All ports have 40Gbps of bandwidth and are compatible with High Dynamic Range (HDR) formats Dolby Vision™, HDR10 and HLG; 4:4:4 color spacing; Rec. 2020; and 3D video pass-through.1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe HDMI output features enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) functionality. Audio Return Channel allows a compatible TV to send audio data to the audio video processor over the HDMI cable, eliminating the need for separate audio cables. eARC offers improved bandwidth so higher resolution audio formats such as DTS-HD Master Audio™, DTS:X®, Dolby TrueHD, and Dolby Atmos can be sent through the HDMI cable, allowing the MHT300 to deliver the best possible sound quality.2 Two coax and 2 optical digital audio inputs are included to connect additional audio devices, while 2 subwoofer outputs will let you have as much bone rattling bass as you want in your theater.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeven premium 32-bit Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs) provide audiophile grade processing. Bass and treble tone controls are included to help fine tune the audio to your personal preferences. Sturdy 5-way speaker binding posts will firmly connect your speaker cables so you do not have to worry about them coming loose.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEasy Setup\u003cbr\u003eSetup and configuration are easily performed via computer interface. To save time, your installer can pre-configure your unit before bringing it to your home and then simply load the configuration file at installation. Similarly, you or your integrator could backup your configuration file onto a computer or USB stick for safe keeping; then you could even experiment with different configurations to listen for better performance safe in the knowledge that you could reinstall the original setup. The MHT300 can be operated via the included remote control, or your integrator can easily incorporate it into your home automation system via RS232 control protocol.\u003cbr\u003eA work of art that can be placed front and center in your home theater for all to enjoy, the MHT300 can also be placed in hidden or out-of-the-way A\/V equipment rack thanks to the included rack mounting brackets and its 3U rack size.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther features included with the MHT300:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Power Guard® signal overload technology that prevents overdriving and damaging your speakers\u003cbr\u003e• Sentry Monitor™ short-circuit protection circuit that disengages the output stage should current ever approach unsafe operating levels and then resets automatically when operating conditions return to normal\u003cbr\u003e• Power Control to automatically turn other connected McIntosh components on and off\u003cbr\u003e• Eco-friendly on\/off signal sensing that turns the unit off if no input signal has been detected for a set amount of time and – perhaps more conveniently – automatically turns the MHT300 on when it senses a signal from your home theater\u003cbr\u003e• An FM Tuner for enjoying free over-the-air radio broadcasts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe MHT300 AVR includes many McIntosh design cues including a black glass front panel, an illuminated McIntosh logo, rotary control knobs, and a familiar form factor highlighted by silver trim.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrand Background\u003c\/b\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 4\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFounded in 1949, McIntosh is known for offering distinguished home audio systems that deliver the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eultimate experience in music and film.

Similar to the mono RS150 Wireless Loudspeaker, the stereo RS250 is a stand-alone, complete wireless speaker solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA variety of casting technologies are integrated into the RS250, such as Spotify® Connect, TIDAL® Connect, Apple® AirPlay® 2, Bluetooth®, Chromecast, and Roon Ready. With all of these built-in technologies, you can easily stream to the RS250 from your smart devices. A worthy successor to the RS200 Wireless Speaker System, the RS250 does not need a special control app; instead, it can conveniently be controlled directly from your favorite streaming apps that use compatible casting technologies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreated with streaming music in mind, the RS250 includes virtually everything you need to enjoy music streamed from your handheld devices, online music services, or a local computer. And in a case of old meets new, a turntable can be easily connected via the dedicated phono input for listening to your vinyl collection. You can even connect it to your TV for better sound performance when watching your favorite shows, movies, or sports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RS250 offers a sizeable 650 Watts of total power that is delivered to two 4\" x 6\" woofers, four 2\" midranges, and two 3\/4\" tweeters. The midranges and tweeters are front firing, while the woofers are down firing with the sound emanating from under the main chassis just above the base plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe woofer enclosure has been reengineered to reduce distortion, and a more user-friendly bass control has been added that can be used to fine tune the low-end performance. To enhance low frequencies even more, the wired subwoofer output can be used to connect an external powered subwoofer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor improving the sound from your TV better than a soundbar can, the RS250 has an audio-only HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC) input that connects to ARC compatible TVs. ARC allows compatible TVs to send audio data to the RS250 via an HDMI cable, eliminating the need for a separate audio cable and making it easier to bring improved sound to your television viewing. For TVs that are not compatible with ARC, an optical input is included which can be used to connect it to the RS250.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RS250 is compatible with TIDAL HiFi Lossless Quality playback (up to 1411 Kbps). It also supports file streaming of up to 24-bit\/192kHz high-resolution digital music files. Thanks to its built-in high-resolution streaming capabilities, the RS250 is also a Roon Ready endpoint device. Roon Ready network devices have Roon’s streaming technology built in, and are certified by Roon Labs to provide the highest level of quality and performance in network streaming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor streaming via Bluetooth, the RS250 utilizes Bluetooth 5.0. It supports both the high bitrate Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) standard as well as Qualcomm® aptX™ HD for hi res audio playback. It also includes Qualcomm aptX Low Latency, which improves audio transmission speed to deliver sound in sync with applicable visual media. Another included streaming option is Apple AirPlay 2, a technology designed to control home audio systems and speakers in any room – with a tap or by just asking Siri – right from an iPhone®, iPad®, HomePod™, or Apple TV®. It offers multiroom audio, Siri voice control, and enhanced playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo enjoy non-streaming music, the RS250 has an optical input to connect digital sources such as CD Players; a Moving Magnet phono input; and a 3.5mm AUX input for connecting various other music sources. A 1\/4\" headphone jack conveniently located on the front panel permits personal listening sessions. To connect the RS250 to your network, it has a wired ethernet port and supports Wi-Fi protocols a, b, g, n, and ac. It is also Google Assistant compatible for voice control. Simply speak to your Google Assistant control device to operate your RS250.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RS250 includes a pair of our new, quick responding illuminated digital output meters. Exclusive to the RS150 and RS250, these meters are more than simple LED indicators. These fast-responding meters use the same trusted circuits found in our analog meters to collect and process the audio signals; they then digitize the results and output them into pulsating, gradated bars that shares the curved shape of our familiar analog meters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RS250 is versatile enough to accommodate the audio needs of almost any room in your home. It is designed primarily for streaming audio but has enough thoughtful features and connectivity to allow it serve as the hub of a modest home audio and home entertainment system. It features classic McIntosh design elements such as a black glass front panel, illuminated logo, and control knobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note the HDMI ARC input will only play audio from a compatible TV. It will not pass video to or from a TV, or play audio from any non-TV source.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand Background:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1949, McIntosh is known for offering distinguished home audio systems that deliver the ultimate experience in music and film.

It offers unparalleled McIntosh home theater performance in a streamlined design that gives you exactly what you need to enjoy all your favorite HD and 4K programming, Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD discs, and DVDs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MX100 has been designed to be heard but not necessarily seen. It's well suited to be installed in a hidden or out-of-the-way A\/V equipment rack. It has rack-friendly 2U physical dimensions and rack mounting brackets to facilitate installation (the mounting brackets are removable for non-rack installations). Not limited to just rack installation, it also looks and works well when placed out in the open for all to see and enjoy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has 4 HDMI inputs and 1 HDMI output, with all being HDCP 2.2 compliant.

Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) functionality is included on the HDMI output. eARC offers improved bandwidth so the MX100 can receive higher resolution audio from your TV to produce the best possible sound quality. Two coax and 2 optical digital audio inputs are also included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor outputting audio, the MX100 has 11.2 discrete audio channels, also known as a 7.2.4 home theater configuration. Seven premium 32-bit Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs) provide audiophile grade processing for the best audio playback. The MX100 can be connected to your home theater amplifiers via its 13 balanced (also referred to as XLR) outputs. By utilizing balanced connectors, you can be assured of the cleanest sound being sent through your balanced audio cables to your amplifier(s) and ultimately to your home theater speakers and subwoofer(s). Bass and treble tone controls are included to help fine tune the audio to your personal preferences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MX100 is compatible with leading home theater surround sound and object-based 3D audio formats Dolby® Atmos and DTS:X™. It’s also fully compatible with 4K Ultra HD video sources for the best possible picture quality. To further help deliver the clearest and most earth-shattering sound possible, the MX100 can be fine-tuned to your home theater’s unique acoustical properties via the built-in Audyssey MultEQ® XT32 calibration software that has more than ten thousand individual control points allowing finer details of the room’s problems to be captured and corrected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSetup is easily performed via computer interface. To save time, your installer can pre-configure your unit before bringing it to your home and then simply load the configuration file at installation. Similarly, you or your integrator could backup your configuration file onto a computer or USB stick for safe keeping; then you could even experiment with different configurations to listen for better performance safe in the knowledge that you could reinstall the original setup. The MX100 can be fully operated via the remote control, or your integrator can easily incorporate it into your home automation system via RS232 control protocol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, the MX100 has received Connects with Control4 Certification from Control4®, a leading global provider of smart home automation solutions, with the implementation of their Simple Device Discovery Protocol (SDDP), allowing it to be effortlessly integrated into Control4 automation systems to further enhance the user experience. It has also received Works with Crestron Home certification from Crestron, a global leader in advanced smart home technology. Crestron Home unlocks the full potential of a smart home. It’s the complete package for any size project, delivering a simpler, smarter user experience for homeowners, remarkably fast configuration and deployment for integrators, and the confidence that comes with renowned, best-in-class Crestron control hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MX100 can be used with any combination of McIntosh home theater amplifiers, such as the MI347 7-Channel Amplifier – which is rack mountable just like the MX100, the MC255 5-Channel Amplifier, or the MC257 7-Channel Amplifier among others. If you're using additional surround sound or ceiling speakers, add the MI254 4-Channel Amplifier or MI128 8-Channel Amplifier (both also rack mountable) to completely power your home theater with McIntosh power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile having a streamlined design, the MX100 still includes many McIntosh design cues including a black glass front panel, an illuminated McIntosh logo, rotary control knobs, and a familiar form factor highlighted by silver trim.

The incoming audio signal enters the Output Module from the preamplifier. An in-phase signal is sent from the Output Module to one of the Power Modules and is amplified. At the same time, an out-of-phase signal is sent to the other Power Module and amplified. Both amplified signals exit the Power Modules and reenter the Output Module where they drive opposite ends of the bi-filar wound McIntosh Autoformer\u003csup\u003e™\u003c\/sup\u003e. This combines the two audio signals back into one with the power summed while any noise is reduced or completely canceled. Through this artful engineering, a low distortion audio signal leaves the Output Module to deliver pristine sound through your speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0003\/3275\/9084\/files\/Screenshot2024-01-10at10.18.29AM_480x480.png?v=1704899957\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImage of how the audio signal flows through the three modules.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"display-table\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"table-cell w50 vertical-middle to-load-b delay-1 noPad loaded\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy are there three modules instead of one? There are two reasons. First is about practicality; each module weighs over 120 lbs (54 kg), so if it was just one module it would be very heavy (close to 400 lbs (181 kg)) and tough to move. With it being comprised of three modules, each is more manageable to move.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"display-table\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"table-cell w50 vertical-middle to-load-b delay-1 noPad loaded\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother reason has to do with the electrical wiring typically found inside homes. If the MC2.1KW was just one module, it would need to plug into a high voltage outlet (for example: the kind of outlet used by electric ranges in the United States). With it divided up into three modules, each can have a more common plug that works with the type of outlets commonly found in homes so that special wiring does not need to be installed inside your walls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"display-table\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"table-cell w50 vertical-middle to-load-b delay-1 noPad loaded\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eA TRIBUTE TO 75 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMcIntosh will be celebrating our 75th Anniversary in 2024.

This means you won't need to sacrifice any power if your speaker impedance doesn't match the amplifier's output impedance. That's because amplifiers from most other brands only have one output impedance and if that doesn't match your speaker's impedance, then you could sacrifice up to half of the amplifier's power capabilities.

Our amplifiers have been used at many historic events including presidential inaugurations and Woodstock, as well as in landmark sound systems like the Grateful Dead's Wall of Sound and Despacio. From that heritage comes a truly one-of-a-kind home audio amplifier only we could dream of, design and build as the ultimate solution for bi-amping loudspeakers: the McIntosh MC901 Dual Mono Amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MC901 is a monoblock amplifier that drives a single speaker. But it is unlike any other monoblock amplifier. What makes the MC901 so unique is that it's two amplifiers combined into one. Adding to the uniqueness is that each amplifier is of differing design philosophies: the MC901 consists of a 300 Watt vacuum tube amplifier attached to a 600 Watt solid state amplifier on one unified chassis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MC901 includes our Hybrid Drive™ technology that uses the best of vacuum tubes and solid state to produce the best sound performance. The 300 Watt vacuum tube portion powers the speaker's mid and upper drivers via eight KT88 output tubes, plus four 12AT7 and two 12AX7A signal tubes; the solid state section delivers 600 Watts of dedicated power to the power hungry woofers. The 300 Watt vacuum tube amp in the MC901 uses our patented Unity Coupled Circuit output transformer – the same technology McIntosh was founded on in 1949 – to deliver its full 300 Watts into almost any speaker regardless if it has 2, 4 or 8 Ohm impedance. Similarly, the 600 Watt solid state amp delivers its full 600 Watts into a 2, 4 or 8 Ohm impedance speaker via our Autoformer™ technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVacuum tubes do not perform at their best when they are amplifying lower frequencies that are not being used by the loudspeaker. With the MC901, the vacuum tube amp will not be burdened with low end reproduction as the solid state section will drive these frequencies. The two amplifier sections of the MC901 are designed to work together in a synergistic relationship and are specifically engineered to assure that each section only amplifies its intended frequencies. Each amplifier section has its own discrete power supply so neither siphons power or performance away from the other. All of this results in easy bi-amping with unparalleled performance and sound reproduction from your speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWATCH: Discover why Steve Guttenberg The Audiophiliac \"reached new heights of aural ecstasy\" when listening to the MC901 Dual Mono Amplifier at the World of McIntosh Townhouse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"888\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/L1FXInoGF6E\" title=\"I was gobsmacked by this $100,000+ McIntosh\/Sonus Faber system\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003ePrior to the MC901, bi-amping a speaker required two separate amplifiers. It also required an external crossover, along with a lot of trial and error, to properly configure the two detached amplifiers so they worked together as best as possible. The MC901 solves this issue thanks to its internal, adjustable crossover with the controls easily accessible on the top of the unit. These adjustable crossover filters allow you to optimize the performance of both amplifier sections to your listening preferences. Relative gain levels for each amplifier section can be adjusted from -6dB to +3dB. A direct feed can also be connected to each amplifier section, thus bypassing the filters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike virtually all McIntosh amplifiers, the MC901 features an iconic \"McIntosh Blue\" Watt meter, which has come to be recognized around the world as a symbol of quality home audio. And just like the MC901 itself is a new design, so too is its meter with the introduction of our new DualView™ Power Output Meter. The DualView meter features two of our traditional, fast responding mechanical meters stacked above and below each other in a single meter window; one meter is dedicated to the 300 Watt vacuum tube amp and the other to the 600 Watt solid state amp. Each meter operates independently of the other and displays the real time power reading of each amplifier section.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile an entirely new design, the MC901 comes with the technology one would expect from a McIntosh amplifier:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Power Guard® that monitors and adjusts the input signal in the 600 Watt solid state amplifier section in real time, then makes unobtrusive adjustments to prevent harsh sounding distortion and potential speaker damaging clipping.\u003cbr\u003e• Power Guard Screen Grid Sensor™ (SGS). The 300 Watt vacuum tube amplifier section of the MC901 breaks new ground as it's our first amplifier to feature our new • Power Guard SGS™ technology. Power Guard SGS helps prevent premature vacuum tube failure by monitoring the screen grid current in the KT88 output vacuum tubes. If the current becomes too high, a circuit in Power Guard SGS is activated which then dynamically attenuates the input signal in real time to keep the vacuum tubes operating at safe levels.\u003cbr\u003e• Sentry Monitor™ observes the output current and shuts the amplifier off if it ever exceeds safe limits.\u003cbr\u003e• Quad Balanced design that cancels virtually all noise and distortion that may have crept into the audio signal.\u003cbr\u003e• Power Control that can send power on\/off signals to other connected McIntosh components for easy system power up and shutdown.\u003cbr\u003e• Our patented, gold-plated Solid Cinch™ speaker binding posts that easily and securely attach the speaker cables.\u003cbr\u003e• McIntosh Monogrammed Heatsinks™ that are connected to advanced high current output transistors efficiently cool the solid state amplifier section.\u003cbr\u003e• Our Power Management System that will turn the entire unit off after a set amount of time when no input signal has been detected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the MC901 may look different than any McIntosh product before it, a quick glance reveals signature McIntosh design cues. The top is highlighted by a series of diagrams printed on glass that outline the basic circuitry and specifications of the unit, along with a glass nameplate trimmed with a circular aluminum ring that's finished to match the front panel endcaps. The sides are adorned with vintage McIntosh-styled die cast aluminum name badges. Two classic McIntosh knobs are located on the front of the polished stainless steel chassis, and direct LED backlighting illuminates the DualView meter, McIntosh logo and the lettering on the black glass front panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe uncompromising level of fit and finish that is expected of a McIntosh product completes the MC901. It can be combined with a variety of preamplifiers, turntables, CD players, media streamers, speakers and other specialty products to form a complete home audio system. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand Background:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1949, McIntosh is known for offering distinguished home audio systems that deliver the ultimate experience in music and film.

Like the MC901, the MC451 uses our Hybrid Drive™ technology that combines a separate vacuum tube and solid state amplifier onto one single chassis to produce the best possible sound performance from a bi-ampable speaker. Unlike the larger MC901, the MC451 has a more conventional McIntosh form factor and size, allowing it to fit into home audio systems, racks, and furniture more easily. Adding a pair of MC451s to your stereo system will allow your prized speakers to perform like never before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MC451 is comprised of a 150 Watt vacuum tube amplifier and a 300 Watt solid state amplifier, which is more than enough power to drive virtually all speakers.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe vacuum tube section drives the speaker's midranges and tweeters, while the solid state section drives the woofers. The 150 Watt vacuum tube amplifier is powered by four KT88 output tubes which are located under a removable wire cage, plus two 12AT7 and one 12AX7A signal tubes; it uses our patented Unity Coupled Circuit output transformer to deliver its full 150 Watts into almost any speaker regardless if it has 2, 4 or 8 Ohm impedance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimilarly, the 300 Watt solid state amplifier delivers its full 300 Watts into a 2, 4 or 8 Ohm impedance speaker via our Autoformer™ technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two amplifiers in the MC451 are designed to work together in a synergistic relationship and are specifically engineered to assure that each only amplifies its intended frequencies. The large but quiet toroidal transformer generates enough power so that neither amplifier robs power or performance from the other. All of this results in easy bi-amping with unparalleled performance and sound reproduction from your speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBi-amping your speakers with the MC451 is easy. No longer do you need fiddle with two separate amplifiers, an external crossover, and a lot of trial and error to properly configure the two separate amplifiers with often times only so-so results. The MC451 solves these hassles thanks to its internal, adjustable crossover. The MC451’s crossover tailors the output frequency range of each amplifier section to the attached loudspeaker. Simply set the CROSSOVER POINT knob on the back of the MC451 to the loudspeaker’s crossover point, then frequencies below the crossover point will be sent to the solid state amplifier and frequencies above it will be sent to the vacuum tube amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis adjustable crossover allows you to optimize the performance of both amplifier sections to your speaker's specifications and to your listening preferences. Gain levels for the vacuum tube amplifier can be adjusted from -6dB to +3dB. A direct feed can also be connected to each amplifier section, thus bypassing the internal crossover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MC451 features our DualView™ Power Output Meter. The DualView meter features two of our traditional, fast responding mechanical meters stacked above and below each other in a single meter window; one meter is dedicated to the 150 Watt vacuum tube amp and the other to the 300 Watt solid state amp. Each meter operates independently of the other and displays the real time power reading of each amplifier section.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to everything already mentioned, the MC451 comes with a multitude of other McIntosh amplifier the technologies:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Power Guard® that monitors and adjusts the input signal in the 300 Watt solid state amplifier section in real time, then makes inconspicuous volume adjustments to prevent harsh sounding distortion and potential speaker damaging clipping.\u003cbr\u003e• Power Guard Screen Grid Sensor® (SGS). The 150 Watt vacuum tube amplifier section features our Power Guard SGS® technology. Power Guard SGS helps prevent premature vacuum tube failure by monitoring the screen grid current in the KT88 output vacuum tubes. If the current becomes too high, a circuit in Power Guard SGS is activated which then dynamically attenuates the input signal in real time to keep the vacuum tubes operating at safe levels.\u003cbr\u003e• Sentry Monitor™ observes the output current and shuts the amplifier off if it ever exceeds safe limits.\u003cbr\u003e• Power Control that can send power on\/off signals to other connected McIntosh components for easy system power up and shutdown.\u003cbr\u003e• Our patented, gold-plated Solid Cinch™ speaker binding posts that easily and securely attach the speaker cables.\u003cbr\u003e• A McIntosh Monogrammed Heatsink™ that is connected to advanced high current output transistors to efficiently cool the solid state amplifier section.\u003cbr\u003e• Our Power Management System that will turn the entire unit off after a set amount of time when no input signal has been detected.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe uncompromising fit and finish of the MC451 is highlighted by familiar McIntosh design cues. The front features a signature black glass faceplate with three clear windows that allow viewing of the vacuum tubes, the DualView meter, two rotary control knobs, an illuminated logo and lettering, and built-in aluminum handles. The top is highlighted by a series of block diagrams printed on glass inserts outlining the circuitry and specifications of the unit. All of this sits atop of stainless steel chassis that's been polished to a pristine mirror finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MC451 amplifier can be combined with a variety of preamplifiers, turntables, CD players, media streamers, speakers, and other specialty products to form a complete home audio system designed for bi-amping loudspeakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand Background:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1949, McIntosh is known for offering distinguished home audio systems that deliver the ultimate experience in music and film.

It has been upgraded to modern standards and with modern components to deliver an audio performance worthy of its predecessor and the legacy of their shared model number – all while adhering to the original design as much as possible.

The EL509S tube was chosen specifically due to it having many similar qualities and characteristics of the 6LQ6 \"sweep tubes\" used on the original MC3500. Like the 6LQ6, the EL509S is very rugged thanks to its robust cathode and associated heating element which produces a high peak plate current capability in excess of 1 Amp.Sweep tubes like the original 6LQ6 were primarily designed for 1950-60s era TVs where they would sweep the cathode ray gun in the picture tube across the phosphor screen. This was a very power-hungry process that required these high-powered sweep tubes. The use of sweep tubes by McIntosh engineers in the original MC3500 amplifier was a very cool and innovative application. By using the high-power EL509S vacuum tubes, the MC3500 Mk II amplifier remains as faithful as possible to original MC3500 output design. In addition, just like in the original MC3500, the MC3500 Mk II uses an additional feedback loop to enhance the linearity of the output tubes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"display-table\"\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"table-cell w50 vertical-middle to-load-b loaded\" role=\"none\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"d-ib\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"\" alt=\"McIntosh MC3500 Vacuum Tube Amplifier Mk II\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mcintoshlabs.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/quality=90\/-\/media\/images\/mcintoshlabs\/products\/productimages\/mc3500-mk-ii\/mc3500-mk-ii-back-angle-background2.jpg?rev=212f504f63da469280169858c7e2781e\u0026amp;revision=212f504f-63da-4692-8016-9858c7e2781e\" width=\"462\" height=\"308\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"display-table\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"table-cell w50 vertical-middle to-load-b delay-1 noPad loaded\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike the original MC3500, the MC3500 Mk II has a fully balanced driver section that utilizes three 12AX7A and one 12AT7 vacuum tubes. The first 12AX7A is the differential input amp; the second is the buffer\/driver for the voltage amp; the third is the voltage amp. The 12AT7 is the buffer\/driver for the EL509S output tubes. All the vacuum tubes are located behind the power and output transformers, and are covered by a 12-gauge stainless steel wire cage with a black powder coated finish.

Many of original MC3500s were used on the road a lot and these siderails provided a lot of strength and durability. It is a very unique design element that we wanted to duplicate in the MC3500 Mk II. There were also four black rubber bumpers on the back of the rails that allowed the amp to be temporarily stood upright while setting up for shows; the bumpers were big enough to prevent any parts sticking off the back of the amplifier from scraping against the floor and being damaged.

Two Unity Coupled Circuit output transformers flank the power transformer which is positioned between them.

The two-chassis design allows the audio section to be completely separated from the control and power sections. The absolute isolation of a preamplifier's two main functions – control and sound – is achieved by this unusual but effective design. Splitting these primary purposes of a preamplifier up into separate chassis will deliver the purest sound reproduction possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C12000 is comprised of the C12000 Controller module and the C12000 Preamplifier module. All power control, data ports, and external control connections are located in the C12000 Controller. Dual isolated power supplies drive the left and right channels, while a dual microprocessor gives robustness to the control system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C12000 Preamplifier houses the audio connections and circuitry. Inside each, the left and right channels are electrically and mechanically isolated from each other to allow true dual mono operation – resulting in the ultimate stereo separation and sonic purity. The two units are connected together via a pair of specially designed, high performance umbilical cables that are shielded to prevent outside noise from leaking into the audio signal. Although they are two separate units, when connected they act as one and are easy to control and operate from the included remote control or the C12000 Controller front panel.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA total of 12 analog inputs are located in the C12000 Preamplifier module: six balanced, four unbalanced, and two unbalanced phono inputs. The phono inputs are no longer set up as dedicated for Moving Coil or Moving Magnet cartridges; instead, both are configurable as either Moving Coil or Moving Magnet with adjustable Capacitance and Resistance Loading, along with adjustable Gain in 6dB steps from 40dB to 64dB. This provides maximum flexibility for you to configure the C12000 to best fit your turntable(s), cartridge(s), and vinyl record collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C12000 includes our Hybrid Drive™ technology that uses the best of vacuum tubes and solid state to produce the best sound performance. The C12000 Preamplifier module offers both vacuum tube and solid state output, allowing you to decide which to use based on the music being played, the audio components in the rest of your home audio system, and your sound preferences. All outputs are driven by discrete amplifiers. For vacuum tube output, six tubes or valves power the high-level preamplifier section with two 12AT7 tubes and one 12AX7A tube assigned to each the left and right channel. Solid state output is via a discrete balanced op-amp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegardless if you choose the vacuum tube or solid state output, the phono stage utilizes four 12AX7A vacuum tubes, with two tubes used per channel in a fully balanced configuration that incorporates RIAA equalization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor connecting the C12000 to your amplifier(s) and the rest of your home music system, there are four total outputs: one balanced vacuum tube; one balanced solid state; one fixed unbalanced; and one programmable unbalanced (can be either vacuum tube or solid state). The amount of user adjustments available on the two phono inputs and all the outputs represent a new level of customization in McIntosh preamplifier design, allowing you maximum flexibility in how you want to configure your audio system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe amplifier circuit has a high common mode rejection, so any noise introduced by interconnect cables is significantly reduced. For personal listening, our high output High Drive headphone jack is included, while the user selectable Headphone Crossfeed Director (HXD®) brings an added depth and spatiality to your music. The C12000 can be seamlessly integrated into your existing multi-channel home theater system via the Home Theater Pass Through feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C12000 preamplifier employs fully balanced circuitry to match the level of performance achieved in any of our Quad Balanced amplifiers. Both the C12000 Controller and C12000 Preamplifier chassis are made from stainless steel polished to a mirror finish plus hairline brushed black Titanium stainless steel, offering an enhanced degree of richness and refinement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith classic McIntosh black glass front panels, blue meters, knobs, stainless steel chassis, illuminated logos, and custom machined brushed aluminum handles, the C12000 makes a visual statement in addition to its audio prowess. It can be paired with a variety of McIntosh amplifiers, speakers, room correction devices, CD players, turntables, tuners, media streamers and other source components to make a complete home audio system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand Background:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1949, McIntosh is known for offering distinguished home audio systems that deliver the ultimate experience in music and film.
