| Best Integrated that you've heard under $5k I really love my McIntosh MA252. I got it for $3500 or so if I recall. Sounds way better than my old Hegel. | |
| Bought a new McIntosh amp You don’t even need to take the quality of equipment into consideration here.You’re obviously hesitant and not excited about this purchase. When spending this amount of money you should feel confident and excited! | |
| Are Bowers and Wilkins speakers overpriced? B&W takes negative comments here for the same reason McIntosh does: they’re not esoteric enough.People are in these forums because they enjoy the lesser known brands and enjoy discussing them. Similarly, people aren’t joining wine forums to di... | |
| Best integrated tube amplifier, under $3,000.00. No phono needed. Could be used, too.d Primal Luna is great as some others mentioned.I love my McIntosh MA252. Though it’s technically a tube preamp with solid state amp. But you get the warm tube sound out of it. I have it paired with some B&W speakers. I know this setup may be mo... | |
| This new McIntosh integrated looks like a winner I own a MA252 and I love it. Best purchase I've made in a long time. Even my wife who typically doesn't care for this stuff comments how much better everything songs.For me, I want high-end sound, but I also want simplicity. I don't want a huge ra... | |
| Decent DAC/Streamer I’ve just setup a Bluenode into my McIntosh 252 amp. It sounds amazing!Before I purchased it I considered getting Chord DAC but for my needs I think it’s overkill. I’m quite happy with just the Bluenode.I did add recently an Amazon Echo Input so m... | |
| Phono Pre-Amp stopped working out of no where Thanks everyone.The tubes do light up. Soft orange glow.Yeah, even though the box doesn't have any dents, I wonder if there was just crazy shaking that may have broke something? But the original packaging had foam all around it and I had an outer ... | |
| Amazon Echo Link - Hi-fi? Tha m you for the thoughtful reply!Yeah, think I’ll go with BlueSound for streaming. | |
| Turntables With your setup, seeing you’ve spent $1800(?) on speaker cable, I’d strongly recommend stepping up to Clear Audio turntable at $2200. More than you want to spend but that’s the minimum for your setup.I wouldn’t go into a MC cartridge, unless it’s ... | |
| Difference between ESS Sabre Burr Brown Wolfson DACs Anyone know what chip the new Amazon Echo Link uses? It claims to be “hi-fi.” | |
| Amp for LS50 I agree with the other poster, $1000 is not enough to drive LS50’s. You may need to go up to $2-3k to be honest.But if you can’t, then perhaps the NAD receivers or Outlaw Audio RR receiver is a good buy. Peachtree is good too, focus on integrated ... | |
| New McIntosh MA252 I was curious about the MM Phono Input. I currently am running a Hegel amp, Pro-Ject Debut, and new B&W 707 S2's.I wanted to upgrade my turntable to a Rega P6 with the Ania MC cartridge. But I noticed the MA252 has a MM Phono Preamp.Should I g... |
