McIntosh MC402 Burn in Period ? Very Impressed

Hello everyone.

I just bought myself a brand new McIntosh MC402.

After spending about an hour unboxing it I was ver y impressed. Getting back to unboxing I have to give kudos for the nice packaging to safely support the 150lb package.
Two boxes plus screwed on to to a wood board.

I am using all Bmi cables' balanced interconnects, speaker cables and power cable. The MC402 sounds wonderful out of the box. The only thing that is funny MC402 comes with a cable cover for the speaker cable ends, that is a waste because the holes are too small for any Bmi hi end speaker cable to fit thru.

Have to say this MC402 is the quietest power amp I have ever heard. The amp is dead silent when left on. Plus the amp runs cool.

When should I expect total break in on the McIntosh MC402 ?

The McIntosh MC402 is an incredible power amp. Very well balanced and superbly true to the music. Owning several power amps the McIntosh MC402 I will never ever let this power amp go. Simply magic and coherently wonderful sounding. This amp does everything a power amp should do. The characteristics are neutral but yet definitive. Smooth on top and well extended on botton. Most natural midrange vocal you will ever hear in a solid state amp but without the distrotion of tubes to deal with.

Enjoy your break in period of possibly one of the best sounding power amps in the world.

Kudos to McIntosh for such a wonderful amp.
