| McIntosh MC-252 Why would it be a bad idea bugsnest? | |
| Mcintosh MC462 versus Luxman M10X Mcintosh isn't really known for their source components. If you like the sound through the Luxman DAC then be satisfied. You can chase your tail in this hobby so tread lightly. | |
| Mcintosh MC462 versus Luxman M10X Just because you have heard the Luxman CD Player in your system doesn't mean the McIntosh components are an issue. They are fantastic. Is there something missing in the way your system sounds now? | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer @schw06 best response so far. You're exactly right. | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer His physical appearance pretty much tells me what I need to know. He looks very unkept and non-professional. I know you can’t always judge a book by its cover but in this case I think it’s obvious. His character is crap and being a dealer he never... | |
| Mark Levinson No. 27 Amplifier, buy or not? If its been serviced then yes they still sound very nice and worth having. The 27 is warmer sounding than the 27.5. If it hasn'tbeen serviced or caps replaced then yes you're rolling the dice. | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer Another McIntosh thread 🤣. Pretty much similar to a cable thread. Gets old but bottom line you like Mac or you don’t. Most haven’t either heard Mac or properly matched. However, if you don’t like the sound move on. Pretty simple, but I can think t... | |
| Primaluna Evo 400 Preamp pairing with McIntosh MC1502 Mike at Audioarchon is a great guy to deal with and will give good advice. I purchase my U1 Mini from him but since sold it as mentioned above. You have a nice budget and I'm sure Mike will give you several options. Keep us posted please :) | |
| Primaluna Evo 400 Preamp pairing with McIntosh MC1502 @bharat . The dac in the T2 is a very good one but I've never really compared it to other dacs other than the LUMIN U1 Mini and T+A DAC 8 I used to have. The separates were very good but I prefer the T2 especially with the S-Booster. The advantag... | |
| Primaluna Evo 400 Preamp pairing with McIntosh MC1502 I have a LUMIN T2 with S-Booster and love it. I do prefer the one box solution over the separate DAC and streamer. Less real estate and power cables to deal with. | |
| Help with McIntosh Repair Facility Thanks dill. Just realized I never answered your original question. Did I try the 2 and 8 ohm taps. No I didn't. | |
| Help with McIntosh Repair Facility I want to thank everyone who contributed to this thread (even aniwolfe haha) Much appreciated :) With the help of Monty a fellow audiogoner he hooked me up with a retired McIntosh repair guru and we took my amp to him this past Friday. He bench ... | |
| Which Amplifier for Sonus Faber Olympica 3 Speaker @justmetoo if your friend couldn't get enough bass out of the MC452 there is something seriously wrong. I'm using a MC452 with great results on my Olympica 3s. The O3 will actually play lower than 34hz. | |
| Integrated Amplifiers - Luxman vs Pass Labs I do have a question. Does anyone know the difference between the XA30.8 vs X150.8? Since the X150.8 is Class A up to 15 watts and I needed a higher powered amp for the Olympica iii, it was recommended I go with the X150.8. In addition, I'm... | |
| Integrated Amplifiers - Luxman vs Pass Labs I have not heard the XA series and I know they are a different animal. I didn't say I heard all the X series. Just the X150.8. I can't imagine the rest of the .8 series is much different or why they would be. Typically the lower powered amps ha... |
