Separates are always better sounding than Integrated amps.....because everything is not being stuffed into a single box...Physics. Tube pre with SS power amp is always the most effective way to go....That gives you the Best of both worlds... MAC amps are ALL assembled in NY.
Upgrade to McIntosh
Hello everyone,
I am looking to upgrade my hi-fi sytem.I demod MC 275 recently and loved the tuby,warm house sound of Mcintosh.
I will be pairing them with Sonus Faber Olympica 1.
I am torn between MA352 integrated and MC275+C8 separates. The latter is obviously more costly but I am willing to go for it if there are advantages.
How would the sound differ? What would be the most notable distinction between the two system in your opinion?
Thanks in advance
