Hello From Over Here
 

How 'ya doin' over there?

Call me Don.

'Over here' is SW Ohio, btw.

Welcome to the Dark Side;)


I was from Ohio once but it got better ;)

Welcome, Don.
There are a bunch of Ohioans here. Piece it Pete and Icenine are two.

Warm regards, Bob

Welcome

Bunch of foreigners here too. BTW. Best I can say is that I have driven through Ohio a number of times. Slowly.

Welcome.

I'm from Ohio too. Newton Falls, near where I-80 and I-76 cross.

Howdy Don! NE Ohio here. Call me Pete ;)

Pete

Welcome Don. I'm not from, never been to, probably never will go to Ohio. (Too close to Kentucky for my tastes) :D

I am somewhat centered, but living amongst the leftest of the left I feel mostly conservative.

If I ever want to make it to all of the major league ballparks, I will have to go to Ohio for two of them.

By the way, welcome Donquixote. I hope you don't find participating here to be an impossible dream.

Regards,

Welcome Don. Hope you can add to the dysfunction that prevails around here. But it's fun.
I did a project in Mentor once and it was all work and no play.

Dys"fun"ction...yep, that's us, right in the middle of it all.

Welcome Don! 😃

Hey, we've raised the speed limits. 70 for everyone, including the trucks, which is the right way to do it, finally.

I be about 60-some miles from the briar patch. But actually, I like Kentucky. It's looksome, got nice areas for campin'. We try to go down and pet the horses at the Kentucky Horse Park every year. The Mrs. really likes horses....

Now I spent time in Arkansas just once. I'd say anywhere close to Arkansas is too close....

Know why they can't solve a crime in Arkansas?

Everyone has the same DNA.

Welcome, my first wife was born in Warren, what can I say.

Welcome!

Howdy Don! :)

:eek:Dear God!:eek: No wonder it didn't last. She was a psycho, wasn't she?

Dave

Not really but she was extremely jealous and that is an emotion I simply do not understand, she had no cause to be jealous.

It was humor, Rob. I'm not really suggesting that all female Warrenites are psychotic. Now, the men.............That's a different story.:p

Fine, but the jealousy was not funny, it got old real fast.

Thanks for all the welcomes, and congrats on the divorce, Merrylander!

I'm not actually from Ohio, I just live here, so claims that the women are all crazy are fine with me.

No one better badmouth Indiana, though!

Jealousy is a poison to everyone around.

Then I met my present wife who believes that for a person to be jealous means that they don't believe the other person and she believes me, has for 30 years:)

I am jealous of your Mcintosh's


;)

No, you covet them. Our economy is built on us coveting our neighbor's possessions - so that we will spend money to buy something like them.

there is one on the bay right now
a 752
but perhaps not tube ampy sound, like the 250

what is that anyway tube amp sound?

Maybe I will snipe on it....

Soft clipping and 2nd order harmonics are the two differences that are often mentioned. Danged if I know what that really means, I just know I like the sound more.

For someone to not be able to believe another points to damage done years before. Sometimes, over a period of time, the non-believer can learn to trust. Sometimes not. It is painful for the people involved either way.

It is a wonderful thing when both party's can relax and let love be what it is.

If the two of you are ever in Piney Flats you are more than welcome to stop by and pick some tunes to listen to.

Alright! You say pick up some amps and take them home! Yes!;)

my grandparents lived in Brighton Tennessee near Memphis

It is a more laidback sound much like the SS Marantz, much less fatiguing if you like to listen a lot. SS Mc has it a bit too but more and better detail. :)
752 is a real nice amp, just not an autoformer model.

Carl

AFAIK;

"Clipping" is what happens to the top of a waveform when the amp is driven to it's limit. A "soft" clip suggests that the waveform remains relatively smooth albeit flattened at the top, during clipping. A "hard" clip is jagged, theoretically resulting in a harsher sound.

As for the rest;

Dave

I like both. Actually, from my experience, a good tube preamp driving powerful SS amps can be amazing. I think the tubes introduce phase shifts to the sound that enhance the sense of "space" in the soundstage. If that makes any sense to you.

Dave

Welcome.

Don't waste too much time with this forum... :D

Don't forget your systems and the music... ;)

Welcome Don!

:)

A warm welcome to you.



Barney

Uh..... Hmmm...... I uh..... Hmmmm.

I almost went out and bought a C33/2255 package last month, but I didn't think it sounded "more better" enough than my lowly MA6100 and MR74 to spend the money. If the economy had kept my wages going up along with the top 5%, I would have probably pulled the trigger.

which would you go to first...the autoformer models or the 752 type?
I like laid back warmth and clear but not harsh highs....

thanks for the info!


it is at $380 already.....I thought it would stay at around $350...I will wait till summer time when things go down a bit in price
