Dan (4-2-7) is banned at the moment for being more of a "smart ass" than his usual self. It has been rumored that someone snuck into Dan's lair, held him at gun point, took his keyboard hostage, and typed a snarky reply (far more snarky than normal) in an effort to make him look far worse to his peers here at AK than he is capable of doing on his own. Apparently, this bandit's efforts were successful and Dan is now on a bit of a hiatus if you will.
Stay tuned . . .

Totally hip. He returned my phone call last night and we were able to catch up, talk shop. Which is one of the reasons I wanted to stop by here and post a comment. He talked about this find and it interested me quite a bit. Linking audio equipment to musicians is a lot of fun. Am going to see if I can press him into setting up a nice display for it. Sure would be a shame to pack it back into the storage case and tuck it into the back room for eternity.
He's also got a lot of "cast off" equipment that I'd like to toss into the back my Silverado. But the complete lack of money prevents me from doing so. This also took up a small portion of our conversation. Drool.

Check completed listings and go see! Then you and I can make ourselves a wax Papa John for your display.

It sold and the buyer left feedback.

Dang. Well, there's that then. Onward ...
Great Score Dan! I'd love to have a Mac piece like that. It's great to see that hot tuna concert, I am enjoying that now (and looking for the shots of your amp!) I could use a flight case like PJC had for my 2500. Ya never know I might move again. I'd also wouldn't mind the banana plugs on the back if it could be done in a cleaner looking fashion. I'd like to hear a 2300 just to see how different it is to my 2500.
Thanks it is cool to own this peice of history even thou I really don't have the room for it.
damacman could probaly give you a good discription as he has all the different outputs of these amp.

Do you place MC2300 over MC2500 because they are strapped?. You have stated your MC2500 was hit or miss on sounding good. What did you hear that you did not like? My only issue with MC2500 was balancing channels. Mainly due to speaker placement versus room. After using SPL and MQ107 it really opened up the soundstage and now I just ensure gain knobs are maxed out on amp and MQ107 gain is covered up. The reroute of fan sensor wires really quieted it and there is complete silence no matter preamp gain or how close you are to tweeters.
I am curious as well.....

That's ok I'm keeping it, it sound very nice and I'll run it though it's paces after work tomorrow. This thing gets loud fast LOL my pre is turned way way down.
Those wood speakers are really cool looking! What are they? I like the wood of the turntable too. Cool box joints.
The speakers are JBL L250 and are some of the ones I recommended to you in your thread, they are 400w.
The deck is a SOTA Star Sapphire in Koa wood.

Do those speakers sound as awesome as they look?
What is a reasonable price range on those? I would dig having that in my living room.
