This new McIntosh integrated looks like a winner

For $6500 you get what looks to be a really nice unit. Tube pre section, blue Meters and tone controls. I’m looking forward tovreviews

I think it's making its big debut at RMAF and shipping late September. The lower level MA252 got good reviews. I'm hoping this one sounds even better. I would actually consider selling my current PS Audio tube BHK pre amp and go with something like this.

If I’m not mistaken the gain on the 252 is 40db. The 352 is a bit too high for my efficient speakers. I would be cutting it close with the 252. Since I already have a tube pre ( gain of 10db), I could do the MC152 and have a total gain of around 39db.
