And thanks for the vote 'o confidence... I kind'o like the city (this time around) - not the same endless space & idyllic views & ability to mindlessly riff out through full stacks at 200+watts, but... Anyhow, i have to clean out a really murky cellar to set up a wood shop in...

Saw your mention on NG as being in New York (which I must confess I didn't
quite understand) and was wondering if there was a known mod to get a working Mac 1500 to output the presumably rather nice tube tuner (which must have been designed and made at about the same time as and by the same people as the MR71?) straight into the presumably rather nice tube power section? By-passing that perhaps-slightly-dated early 1960s trannie pre amp stage which completely louses up the actual sound? Or for that matter, is there a mod to get straight into the power section which doesn't cost a fortune? Has anyone ever done it and is it worth the bother? Jonathan "Doomella" wrote in message ...

Hi - i honestly never worked on a Mac 1500, i could look up the schematics
(or you can send them to me), though, i suspect that gettin' rid of the transformers would not be a trivial mod, and, strangely enough, good small signal transformers are extremely linear, so don't assume that the problem lies there. The reason that the modern gear uses transformer - coupling so rarely is the cost of good transformers is much higher than the cost of extra gain stages, and transformers are actually preferred over toobs in many applications (think mic transformers & and PU cart transformers). Once again, had no experience with your Mac, so i don't even know how the transformers are used... 'luck, -dim (Shiva) "Licensed to Quill" wrote in message ...

Hi Johathan,
Honestly the tuner in the MAC1500 isn't worth it at all . . and a pain to align correctly even if you have the correct equipment and have done it before. . . just 'cause it's tubes don't make it good. It is nowhere close to being in the same league as an MR71 or MR67 . . . or even an MX110. The power amp is definately the best portion of this piece, provided it's in good working order, though still nowhere as good as the MC225. Wiring a pair of the RCA inputs directly to the PA input tube is easy for any competent tech . . . you'll also need good 7591s. The last time I worked on one of these was when only NOS 7591s were available, maybe others on this NG can advise as to the best choice for replacements now.
