| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh @joekapahulu I do feel your pain, brother. At this point, I'm very thankful that I still can hear and enjoy music, period. Fortunately, the brain can perform wonderous compensations, and when I turn up the gain in the right channel mono preamp, t... | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh @bthartman & @builder3Thank you. It's guys like you who make this place such a valuable resource. Since I've been using the same tube gear for so many years, I know virtually nothing about newer components, except for my excellent Wells Majes... | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh @james633 Vinyl, Qobuz, and CD in order of preference. After considerable, ongoing research, for now, at least, I may just put a couple of quads of KT150’s into my mono tube amps, get the Schitt Loki, and call it done. Yes, some of the suggestions... | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh @speakermasterAfter I get my second ’vid shot, (that, and with some better weather) I’ll feel much more inclined to venture forth to audition some likely suspects. . Meanwhile, I’m compiling a lot of info. Everyone here has had something valuable... | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh @crouse99 Very good point!@jjss49 Noted and I've already contacted Schiit. I was told that the Loki is on B/O but will be available before March. It should work great with my tube mono preamp. Not so useful with my Wells Integrated which does not... | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh Just want to let y’all know how much I appreciate your ongoing contributions.Now, here’s a thought from Audio Planet X:I’ve been reading about a gizmo called DSPeaker AntiMode. If this device works as claimed, I may have found the answer to my que... | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh Thank you compadres. So far my research is leading me to Luxman. RE: Anthem, I did hear one a couple of years ago at an audio boutique and found it extremely harsh-sounding- the worst of solid-state was my impression. I was very surprised since... | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh @dekay You, sir, are tuned into where I am now at. Yes, I still use and love my MFA gear. And to be clear it's not only Bruce Moore but Scott Frankland. Scott has been the one who has maintained and upgraded my Lumi and M120 mono amps for many y... | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh Thanks, all. I'm going to try to get some sense of what various Luxman units sound like through research. Yes, of course, nothing beats an in-house audition but home auditions, especially of multiple units are impossible for obvious reasons. So... | |

| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh I’m remiss in saying that I prefer a warmer, more "tubelike" presentation. And I neglected to mention my speakers: I have Sonus Faber stand mounts and Maggie .7’s but if I had to choose between them, I’d go with SF’s and sell the Maggies since the... | |
| This new McIntosh integrated looks like a winner @aberyclark I've Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage and Maggie .7's. I just spoke to the MAC dealer and he urges me to get an MA8000 instead. (of course, it's more money!) but he swears it sounds (much) better than the MA352.I may put everything on hold... | |
| This new McIntosh integrated looks like a winner speedbump6I find your comments regarding the Prima Luna very much in accord with what I just experienced with an Evo 300, a component for which I had high hopes. It proved to be dissapointing.After years of dealing with various, excellent tube sep... | |
| Considering McIntosh MA352 @viethluuYour descriptions are extremely helpful, thank you. After many years of pursuing numerous audio missions impossible, rolling hundreds of tubes, wires, and dozens of black or silver boxes, the MA352 may just be what I've been really lookin... | |
| Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required? I’m going with a few dozen of those magic dots and something like a DSPeaker Anti-mode. Betcha I’ll save at least $43.5k and probably even more than that. Then, I’ll go on YouTube and sell secret sauce. |
