Mcintosh mc 452 question.

I purchased this amp last week. It should arrive here in a few days. I have been reading the manual online as I wait for the amp to get here. Is it really necassary to unscrew the 4 screws on the back of the unit before you attach your speaker cables. Then put the 4 screws back in afterward. What's the purpose of this?

 For those of you using banana cables, are you all using the dust covers?

A huge thank you in advance to anyone who can straighten me out on this. Have a great day

Regards,

HiFiNewbie

You were lucky to find one :-) This is a REAL McIntosh amp (one worth having) McIntosh makes a lot of products and most are FLUFF. The MC452 is a Beast and a Gazelle, your going to love it for a long time. After having my MC352 for 10 years and have had absolutely no problems (if anything the amp saved my beloved Dynaudios from damage..long story) it IS the rock of my system! Plastic covers...if your cables will let you ...otherwise ditch them in a drawer.
