    I have a C2300 on order from my dealer.. To say the least, I am very excited!!! I felt this was a good time to order a set of 12AX7 tubes as well. There is some confusion (on my part) on what to order. I found a place on line where I could get Gold Lion B759/ECC83/12AX7 tubes for $45 each...

    MC207 input/speaker connections?

    The MC207 manual states that you should connect the MX135 speaker output ICs to the MC207 according to the labels on the MC207.
