Back in the day Capitol, Columbia, Verve, Blue Note, were all using McIntosh tube gear for playback and mix downs in the studios. Some of the remasters that are using lathes to cut new lacquers are using Mac amps with the set up. I’m not saying that McIntosh are the end all amps, but that a bulk of the music from the 50’s thru the 70’s used them in the process for mastering as well. My 2 cents.
One Amp To ‘Rule’ Them All....
Is there one amplifier that everyone can agree on as a contemporary standard? An amplifier that can be considered a standard in both the studio and in a home stereo setup?
What one amplifier does everything very well and can be found in homes and in professional audio engineering environments?
What amp covers all the bases and gives you a glimpse into all qualities of fine musical reproduction?
...something Yamaha? ...something McIntosh?
