M700s incoming - suggestions to max performance?

That’s awesome. I had a pretty cool music Teacher. But the day John Lennon was shot, he came to School absolutely speechless. We as a bunch of 11 year old kids didn’t really know his impact on Rock music, but he spent the entire class talking about him. I went out and bought the (Just Like) Starting Over 45rpm single that afternoon !

I recall discussing that, Bon Scott, and John Bonham too, the othe music teacher was much cooler, he took us for the last year of music O Level (16+ exams, big deal in UK), he had pink Floyd, and the Gryphon album in his classroom collection :slight_smile:

Can you leave the m700son all the time without the preamp on?

Yes, encouraged. Mine have been on for 2 years with the exception of being away more than a few nights.

Me too ! But for one year.

It will depend on your preamp. On my new system with a BHK Preamp and M700 monos plus powered subwoofers, no problem. I leave the M700’s and the subs on 24/7 and turn the tube section of the BHK preamp on when listening and off when not. On my other system with tube pre and tube poweramp, NO!!! If I turn the tube preamp off prior to turning off the tube poweramp or the sub, I will get a nasty “pop” through the speakers and subwoofer. On that system I have to turn off the sub 1st, tube poweramp 2nd, wait about 5 to 10 seconds, then turn off the tube preamp 3rd, and finally music source component 4th.

Hmmm, naim, exposure, naca cabling - you wouldn’t happen to be the same Bob Edwards from the naim and pinkfish fora? I am very much enjoying my SGCD and Stellar Phono Preamp (no more naim, but still have the LP12).
