You see recommendation from users. McIntosh users don't have time to tell people how good the gears they own are. More importantly, McIntosh gears are expensive that keep 99% of people away. I listen Cassette tapes, Cds and other digital sources from Nakamichi Dragon, Oppo UDP205, Mac MX160, Mac MC452 and a pair of Focal Electra 1038 Be. The quality of sound is warm, crystal clear and near flawless. There are better gears on the market, but I don't need them. If you want to know about McInotsh, go to a local dealer and experience it yourself. To know the quality of sound, you need to listen to it.
Why No McIntosh Recommendations?
As I read, and continually read through posts, nobody really talks to McIntosh Products, or recommends McIntosh Products. Why? I can understand why they are not getting their just due. I think their sound stage is incredible and the tube products offer incredible warmth. I own the 2600 PreAmp, 2152 Amp, and MT5 Turntable. I love what they do for my Sonos Faber Serafino’s. I’m a big fan. Why don’t y’all talk to them more. Now I know we all have our bias. And I know that they may be out of many price ranges, but they are wonderful products, in my ears.
BTW - Currently Listening to Hugh Maskela’s Hope on a Quality Pressings Release! Sounds superb! Excellent recording whether you are listening to a CD or a high quality a 180 Release from the original master tapes.
