100+ Head-Fier
full set up as of today. enjoying the music from cd thru my new dac
Thought I was the only Plinius guy around here. I’m a recovering tubeaholic, and the Plinius Hautonga integrated (side panel seen in photo under the headphones) was my way out. Of course, I’ve now added the Mc MHA200, not just because I love the way it looks and sounds (I have always secretly pined after my brother’s MC275), but because, as tube amps go, it is a veritable brick, plus I am very familiar/comfortable with the 12at7/12bh7 combo from my years and years with VTL amps.
YMMV, just my $.03, etc., ad nauseum.
Minnesota, fireplace, hmmm

cold enough , the wind is making it feel colder than 28 degreesMinnesota, fireplace, hmmm
We should really have fireplaces here, it's a wet cold. But most people live in apartment buildings without fireplaces. If you have a weekend cabin you usually have a wood stove.cold enough , the wind is making it feel colder than 28 degrees
Thanks! The green glow is actually from a silly led located under each of the tubes that McIntosh started putting in all of their tube amps a number of years ago. Yes, it looks kinda neat at first but, frankly, I’d turn it off in favor of the natural tube glow if I could. Nevertheless, it doesn’t affect the sound (at least as far as I can hear), so a minor aesthetic quibble at best.Hi what a Beautiful amp!
Why do the tubes glow green? Is it a certain material used in the build of the tubes or is there a green light under the tubes?
Thanks, Bro. Even a blind mouse occasionally finds the cheese….Oh man, you're starting to become a great photographer! Beautiful shot!
True the green looks cool! But i do agree that the nice Orange glow is special.Thanks!
