McIntosh Announces Mc451 Dual Mono Power Amplifier
Hate is too strong of a word. The aversion IMO is mainly directed at the obstinate fan base. Does Mcintosh produce excellent products despite the garish cosmetics? Yes, MC 462, MA 12000 and the C22 are contending class leaders at their price point...

Where does "MidFi" differ from "HiFi" or "LOFI"?
@audiotroy +1 The backlash against HEA equipment is approaching a comical level. IMO the Youtube audio community has perpetuated this negative attitude. One must realize this is an important form of revenue for many of the Youtubers that push inf...

Hi-end audio is a big zero
With High End Audio(HEA) you need patience and knowledge. HEA is NOT a plug and play hobby. With experience you can eliminate 4/5 brands due to build quality, reliability and house sound. My advice is if your new to HEA take 2 years to research at... 
When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better?
@yyzsantabarbara   Always had respect for Krell electronics. Sure Krell have had some misses but when getting it right they hit a grand slam! I mentioned the Burmester 216 due to hearing it drive a Sonus Faber Lilium with such ease and graceful au...
