I´m planning to buy an Mcintosh Integrated (MA 9500 or MA 12000).

Recommend any store/website for new equipment?

Why ?   Ina audio shoot out we had pass labs , McIntosh, Gryphon , and Accuphase , Gryphone Diablo ,was #1,  2 was Accuphase their hand built and tested one at a time by a long shot considered the most dependable integrated out 

there they are like a Swiss watch in build quality ,testing and detail ,they are very refined  and natural the E380, I have a bunch of audio friends with McIntosh 

I sold it they are not built anywhere near Accuphase standards their new E4000

is a incredible piece, the E380:, is I believe the one below ,not cheap but heirloom quality, go to you tube and look up their build process,  I am strongly considering the E4000, my friend bought his from Perrotta consulting  great service and fair price , he used a AQ Thunder Power cord and sounded great I had it in my system 

it’s very natural with great refinement , if you have not compared them lately you should ,their patented volume alone improves the sonics nothing gets overlooked .

tryit before making a decision just sound advise .New Gryphon Diablo is the only one that bettered it.
