Well well well, i've gone and done a thing. Just scored a MC752 to send MOAR POWAR! to my Klipsch RP-250's. I am now using my H/K 730 Twin as a pre amp, and I find they sound quite wonderful together.
This is a MONSTROUS step up into a new league, for me.
I've always adored the sound of my H/K, but this McIntosh has changed (or ruined!?) my life! IT SOUNDS SO GOOD! It has taken control of my brain and is telling me I need to consider upgrading to another Mac for yet another huge step up in my stereo setup? (the continual increase of sound quality with each of my upgrades is getting quite addictive!)
I've whittled my interests (and budget) down to the MX series... Primarily the MX-113, but anything from the MX-112 up to perhaps the MX-117 is of interest. I love the idea of the built in tuner, as I do enjoy listening to a few FM public radio stations. I don't really listen to AM. I like the headphone jack on the MX-117, but since I don't own any "real" headphones, I am not too set on that at the moment...
The MX-113 and MX-115 adjustable loudness dial seems like a fun whirrly bit to futz with for dialing in the "best" sound for whichever record I am playing. Is that adjustability "worth" it to any of you more experienced folks?
Some of the C series pre-amps are also of interest, but I haven't researched them much at all... yet. I would probably be bummed to not have a built in tuner though...
Does anyone have any sage advice for me? (other than the fact I am past the point of no return!!)
thanks,
Chris
