I know a lot of people like Mac's, but for my money and ears, there are better amps out there. I tried a 2505 and for about the same price as my McCormack DNA 0.5 there was no comparison. Not even in the same league. But try it for your self. The beauty of buying used is you don't lose much money if you don't like it and decide to sell.
Considering a MAC
Hello,
It's time for corporate bonuses and I'm considering the possibility of getting a older McIntosh Power Amp and adding it to my system. I'd have to use the pre-outs of my Cambridge Audio A500 until I save for a Preamp or Preamp/Tuner; but I'm being lured by the light (blue as it may be ;-) )
In particular, I'm looking at the 502, 2505, or a MACSound Reciever to replace the A500. I know a dealer in my area who has fixed MAC for over 30 years who will restore it to factory specs fairly cheaply.
Thoughts ??
