| Tube Sound Question A seriously subjective question, but an interesting one. Consider checking out a Kevin Deal video on Upscale Audio's site. He talks about tube power amps and preamps, with some discussion relevant to your question. He ultimate suggests, as a "r... | |
| New McIntosh amp build quality In terms of the MC 275 VI, I've had a pair mono-blocked for several years, both purchased new. Absolutely flawless construction and glorious performance. No issues with tubes and if rolling is your thing, plenty of alternatives to select from vari... | |

| Best Preamp New or Used up to $3,000 ?? PS Audio BHK tube/solid state hybrid preamp. Rock solid build and fluid musicality. List price is $6000, but go online to The Music Room in Broomfield, Co. and work a deal on a new or very clean used. Under $3K is very doable. They WILL deal, they... | |
| What amps should I audition? While my 45 years of expensive experience in audio, largely McIntosh, forces me to disagree with elizabeth's assessment, her apology to tlong shows a lot of class. Well done. | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( When the time approaches, I will not "go gentle into that good night". I will enjoy my over-engineered, tube-burning two-channel system with unrestrained satisfaction. I will avail myself of excellent, used gear whenever the desire take me, and I... | |

A lowland single-malt aged in two kinds of sherry, as well as bourbon casks. If you have reservations about the sound of your system, this will remedy any anxiety. It mak... | |
| Have you ever hated the sound of your system one day, and loved it the next? I thought I was the only one who felt that way. Despite top end gear, I was never fully satisfied. I thought it might even be crap cables. Then I discovered that single malt scotch improves audio quality. Cognac elevates it to the sublime. | |
| New McIntosh MA252 I’ve owned an MA6500 used with Olympica I’s and it was an excellent combination. Not sure I’d use the MA252 with the Olympica III’s, at least not without some major demo time at a dealer. I’m currently running the MA252 (and a PS Audio DSD) with a... | |

| Any pluses or minuses to the older McIntosh mc275 compared to the newer mc275's IV, V, VI? Having owned a vast amount of McIntosh, both "vintage" and new, including a pair of MC275VI's mono-blocked, I would submit that the more recent editions of the 275s are all excellent. From my experience, unless you're buying new with its obvious ... |
