wood cases or not
So give your opinion. I have a vintage set up that I love and I am proud of.
MC300 amp
C29 preamp
MR78
The c29 is in a wood case. The MR78 does not and the mc300 is definately bare. So I was thinking of getting a case for the mr78 or losing the case on the c29. I know less heat without and longer component life. I want the entire setup to display well also. Tell me what you do with your stuffVintage Bedroom Gear: Dual CS 5000, McIntosh C29, McIntosh MC300, MR78 Sonus Faber Concertino
Listening Room Gear McIntosh MT10, McIntosh c2300, McIntosh MC275MKVI Mono'd, Sonus Faber Elipsa SE

Re: wood cases or not
I have a case on my Mac 1700 for 40 years and no problems.
I like the look of the wood case if it can be seen in your system.

Re: wood cases or not
Wood is good...
Not in the same league as MC gear... but I've rebuilt a couple 2270s over the years and I like the way they look in wood!
If using custom built cases as I did, obviously important to be aware of ventilation.

Re: wood cases or not
Trying to find these cases for Hypex D-400 mono blocks, Leviathan does not want to help TO BAD.
Leviathan Red Dragon Mono amplifier in Zebra wood.jpg - - - Leviathan Red Dragon Mono amplifier.jpg - - -André - - - Keep it simple system
Amp = Chord CPM-2600
Source = Chord One
Speakers = Acoustat 1+1s highly modified
Life without Acoustat is possible BUT senseless.

Re: wood cases or not
It's a $55,000 (Canadian dollars) stereo amp.
... Tenor Audio 175S
* There is also the Tenor Audio 350M monoblock amp (very very expensive and heavy and with beautiful wood on front and on top).
And there is the Tenor Line 1/Power 1 as well (beautiful wood all around this time, and very expensive). ...Goggle!
...Kind of stuff made of what dreams are made of. ...For audiophiles with comfortable bank accounts.~ Bob ~

Re: wood cases or not
I was still a punk kid in high school when I used to troll the stereo store drooling over Marantz amps like the ones shown. Very cool.
