When I upgraded from a PS Audio P10 power conditioner t... | |
| Mcintosh c2600 I've owned several pieces of McIntosh equipment over the years, currently have a C2500 paired with an MC452 to drive a pair of Focal speakers. I think the C2600 has an upgraded built in DAC compared to the C2500; in my case I used a PS Audio Dire... | |

| Audio Lessons Learned - post your best advice for the newer members! Joe55ag,Very Well Said!I'd add that we all hear differently and have our own unique preferences.
