Mc 240 vs. Prima Luna
Don’t think the Mac has the build quality of the PL also you see a ton of Mac gear for sale every day PL not so much. This would indicate to me the people who buy PL stay with them and the Mac people move on to something else. I don’t agree with t...

What s the best Class A integrated tube amp over 80W
