McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer

@jl1ny and @henry53 Im curious now since I just purchased a demo model 452 last week. What benefit does a dedicated line bring? I hadn’t heard of that one before. I am driving Paradigm Persona speakers and the 452 does that effortlessly. It’s cool to the touch even after an hour of continuous play.

@bugsnest 

I've enjoyed an MC452 for several years now and find that it pairs very well with my speakers.  With a new home build, I had the electrician install a dedicated AC line and run CAT6 to my new listening room.  Since all of my equipment is plugged in to a PS Audio P15 power regenerator, I'm not sure how much benefit the dedicated AC line provides, but since it was relatively easy with a new home build, I thought "why not", just in case it makes a difference.

I believe what is going on here is  all about 

some businesses trying to take down the big dog

who is making plenty of money 💰......

It is all Business $$$$$$.  Wake up people. 

It is all Business $$$$$$. Wake up people.

without a doubt, but it isn’t just ALL about business... it’s also about envy, jealousy, misplaced need for self gratification thru lame ego-boosting, make self feel better by tearing others down

internet forums like this are ’potshot heaven’ for all sorts of sad characters

that ocd guy is presenting himself as the champion of those who just want pure sonic performance and not looks, frills, eye candy, i’d remind everyone that his main line of amplification is mark levinson... now THAT is truly dripping in irony (if not something much worse)...

i have been reminded/corrected... meant jeff rowland, not levinson...

Thanks @ejr1953  I don’t have the option to do that but my home is relatively newish (15 years) so hopefully the existing wiring is adequate for this beast.
