1. Audio Accessories - The Second Part -
As I was not satisfied with a sound quality, especially a high tone
on system, I wondered if I should install the super tweeter, but
my trouble was solved the moment I changed a speaker cable into
Harmonix HA-101SLC and a jumper cable into Harmonix MAX-Jumper.
I was impressed with S/N and resolution upgraded, moreover, a fine
and clear brush sound.
Plus, the piano sound became more clear.
I have never listened to such a fine low tone in my life.
SACD soft was also a marvelous sound in high quality.
I enjoyed a large scale sound.
In terms of Harmonix Tuning Feet (TU-201 improved), I loved a sound so much.
A sound became a clear in low and high tone, and dynamic range and sound
resolution were made a remarkable improvement.
I’m sure that I have made a good choice to have installed HS-101SLC,
MAX-Jumper, and Harmonix Tuning Feet.
It is not too much to say that they are super audio accessories.
It is called as a quiet leading figure.
It has a very shine full glass illumination panel.
500W + 500W fixed sequence output trance for 2, 4, 8 ohm is single.
It uses power capacity 100% of a transistor.
The consumption of electricity is only 200W in non-signal.
The life of an amplifier is twice as long as normal if the temperature
fell 10 degrees.
This is the basic idea of McIntosh, and it is the driving force of reliance
for such a long time.
Accordingly it is an excellent audio amplifier.
It does not make get tired of listening a sound.
That is why MC500 is called as a quiet leading figure in McIntosh quality.
This time shows power metal, output trance, whole form, and face in
clear digital pictures.
I went to the vacuum tube shop in Akihabara.
I saw 6SN 7GT (RCA). It was a reasonable price so that
I bought 4 pcs.
And I also purchased a Bita Q condenser, a resistor for
Allen Bradley, and a resistor for Dale.
On the way to home, I dropped into Hi-Fi Do. I asked a shop
manager details of a vacuum tube.
He said, “In case of a push-pull, 2 pcs are a set so that
different values cause a improper sound.”
I feel uneasy about making an amplifier because it seems
to be complicated.
