| ??? Which Would You Buy ??? That Mac MA 5300 had an original retail price of $6500.00. I would not pay over retail for a 4 year old integrated. It is also the “entry level integrated” without the auto transformers. | |
| Which one would you buy Sky-Fi is dead to me. I questioned them once on their “made up” retail price and was immediately blocked. No warning, just blocked. I have secretly hoped they would go out of business in the last 10 years. My prayers have not been answered yet... | |
| Downsize from C2200/MC275 to integrated SS Look into a McIntosh MA252 integrated. Solid state amp with built in tube preamp. If you like the Mac house sound, why not stay with the brand? | |

| SACD Player/Transport Choices I have a McIntosh MCD350 SACD player on one of my Mac system and an Esoteric SACD player on my other Mac system. The Esoteric player is night and day better than the Mac. The Mac sounds a bit veiled compared to the Esoteric. | |
| Looking to Develop A Short List of Amplifier Candidates For A Pair Of JBL 4367 Speakers My GE Triton Reference speakers @ 94db sensitive are powered by a 300wpc McIntosh MC302 power amp. Going from a 100wpc amp to the Mac brought more solid sound, better transients and an overall ease to the music. I would never go back to lower wa... | |
| KT88 Tube Recommendation - Mac MC275 There are only 2000 hours on the KT88 tubes. McIntosh never drives their tubes hard, those tubes are just broken in. Most Mac power tubes last 5000 hours or more. | |
| Need a solid surge protector that’s non-current limiting. All Shunyata protectors are non current limiting. I have 3 Shunyata Hydras in my main system, one of them has a McIntosh humongous 300 wpc amp plugged into it. | |
| What happened to Yamaha electronics? Like I stated above, had an all Yamaha system, hated it, moved on. I have absolutely zero love for Yamaha. | |
| McIntosh MP1100 Feedback I have the C2500 preamp with the excellent MM and MC options. That is a great phono preamp, you cant go wrong for half price. |
