Anyone who runs a MC-275 Gordon Gow version or above should used the balanced inputs on the MC-275 if possible. Tube V1 (a 12AX7A) sole purpose is to convert the unbalanced inputs to balanced.
Thus, if you use the balanced inputs on the MC-275, you eliminate the "sound path" from going through tube V1. I found the difference done via blind A/B testing to give me a tiny bit better stereo image. |

Personally, I would pay (have paid) for demo transport and set up, and my system is much more modest that yours. Not to judge too much--but if you're dropping $25K on amps, I'm guessing you're in the neighborhood of $100K overall. Don't you want to spend $200 or $300 in labor to make sure everything's as good as it can be? Back to this particular case--it is not the same for the MC275, which weighs in at a svelte 67 lbs, and it comes in a box that is doable for a civilian or two to carry and set up.
