The new Mcintosh MC 402

I just upgraded to the MC402 with my ML Ascents and the
the results were beyond words for me. My Electrostats just sang music like never before. The music was alive, detailed and warm. I use SF line 2 SE and a Pioneers CLD-D604 CD player. My room size is 14x15X9 ft.. I listen mostly to Classical and Vocal jazz.

I originally was trying to buy a used MC352 but can't justify getting one without warranty (piece of mind).
I like the MC402 new facia and slightly better built and power than the 402.

Mcintosh dealers will deliver and set-up the amp for you for free whether you buy it or not.

Hope this helps.

Sorry, I meant the MC402 is slightly better than the MC352.

Yes sir, its what they call "Home audtition". IT is for interested/serious prospected customers who are encourage to try the MCINTOSH products at their home. IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE SOUND after your "home audition" You DONT HAVE TO BUY IT....OF course they'll the the product back with them..

And yes, they did deliver and set-up the MC402 for me and my wife at our home. For us, the system just sounded phenomenal with the 402. IT's worth every penny...

Aball,

The MC352 was replaced by the Mc402. I originally was shopping for a used but mint 352 but found out that warranty was NOT transferrable so me and my wife opt for a new 402. And thank you 4D congrats...

But I have the itch on upgrading my CDP. Have any suggestions? Do I add a dac processor on my existing CDP or buy a new one with built-in 24/96khz??? Any suggestion is deeply appreciated..
