McIntosh MA6500 phono section?


Anyone tried out the new Mac 6500's phono section? I have a Dual 1229 w/ Shure Type-VMR. It sounds a little thin on some recordings with my vintage Luxman L85V integrated.

It's very decent. It's not a stand-alone high dollar phono stage, but it's easily good for your front end (which I also owned, but not at the same time as the MA6500), and I'd never characterize it as thin.
the phono section in all the mac preamps and integrateds i've heard are uniformly excellent. neutral, but certainly not thin.
