Re: Amplifier Question

I agree with GL- 300 into 4 should suffice well, especially with a quality amp like yours. But I wouldn't totally rule it out. How loud are your listening levels when this happens? Are you listening to vinyl- tracking error?

I've had a similar sound such as you are describing happen to me when I switched from MMGs to IIIAs. The true ribbon will let you know when it doesn't like something upstream. I had been using an Adcom GFA-555II, and it worked fine with the MMGs but not the 3s. This amp pushes 325 watts into 4 ohms, so I didn't suspect it as being the cause for the distortion. It definitely was. I installed a Hafler DH-200 amp into the system, and the etchy glaring ceased completely. The Hafler is rated for half the wattage of the Adcom- go figure. Quality, high current power as matters. I have an amp now that will not clip short of blowing my ears off.

Borrow another amp (does the MF have pre-outs?) and try this out if at all possible. Do some brainstorming, and try to figure out the exact conditions when this is happening.
