Hi all I think I must have done something good, because the wife allowed me to buy a new (OK new to me) amp. I opted for a MC2255. I have a few questions:
a. I would like to buy a Mcintosh preamp that will match this amp asthetically, and maybe age-wise. I would like to be able to hook up the following inputs.
My CD player
My tuner
My Apple airport express
My Tape deck
All of these are analog (RCA plug) outputs. I would also like the ability to connect two amps. Tone controls or an EQ would be nice as well. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
b. What means do I hook up the speaker wires to the barrier strips? Do I use spade or eyelet terminals on the wires? If so, where can I get these (specific size and source would be great)?
c. My main speakers are Mcintosh SR6s I think these may be 4 Ohm, which taps on the MC2255 should I hook them up to?
Thank you very much for any and all opinions
