damacman: I purchased the C70 earlier this year and have to say it is fabulous and worth the investment - especially if you plan to keep it for the long haul. I have been through way too much buying and selling and wish I would have paid a bit more years ago. I have a D1100 handling digital...

62caddy - Nothing to sell - No intention to sell - No offers to sell - no violation of any policy or anything that is strictly forbidden in any way shape or form. Jumping to this conclusion: *You should be cautioned what you're asking sounds perilously close to an offer to sell which is...

Hello - Does anyone know which of the current crop of Mac gear is most popular or sells the best? Just curious as I have recently bought a few pieces myself.

Hello - Currently yes - digital only. May want to add a TT in the future so the C47/C22 would allow for that with no issue. While I like the C22 I have dropped it from my option since I would need to buy another set of interconnects and they are not cheap. I would rather use those dollars to...

Hello everyone - I am going to visit my dealer today and have been thinking of adding something like a C47 to C22 to my setup. Mt resent purchase of a MC152 to go with my existing D150 has been very interesting and has revealed low end extension that I did not know my system was capable of...

I have the ability to create the ISOs with the method most use for SACD ISO creation. At the end of the day I find I like the physical media just like those who enjoy vinyl like the physical interaction with the record. Not too into streaming nor computer audio playback although I have messed...

Thanks for the replies - leftside - Using the MCT450 since I have a large collection of SACD. The only real option for change is selling both and getting a PS Audio Direct Steam DAC / Transport. So I think I will stick with these pieces I have two tube integrated amps (non-Mac) and the power...

Hello everyone, I am currently running a D150, MCT450 and a MC152. All is well. My previous system had the D150/MCT450 and a tube integrated. I am think of re introducing a true analog preamp and returning the D150 to a DAC only role. My current options are: Option 1: C47 + MCT450 + MC152...

Dealer sent out new replacement MC152 today. Everything works as expected. So far so good. My initial impressions is the system has more low end than before and the amp has better control over the speakers. However, I can see the presence of signal the speakers may not be able to reproduce...

Thanks for the advice. I will pop the top and take a look and see if it is an obvious fix.

Spoke with McIntosh this AM and they will be sending a new one down. They seem to feel it is either a bad connection or a meter failure but it did pass inspection at the factory before it left. They also said to go ahead and use it till the new one gets here. I suppose I could always pop the top...

Another update: Checked with the balanced connections and same result - no right meter. Signal seems ok but not listening closely yet. AS well as it is packed it is hard to believe this is an issue caused in shipping but anything is possible. Hope they have some good answers for me. Update 3: I...

Closed for tonight. Going to call Mac in the AM and get in contact will the dealer. I waited a month for this to get here. They are 2 days away UPS. Perhaps the meter connection needs to be reseated. I could do it depending on where it is and what type of connection. But it makes you wander what...

Hey everyone - Just received the MC152. Set it up and it appears the right meter is dead out of the box. The left meter works but the right meter does not deflect at all. I unplugged the left channel and moved it to the right channel. Sound yes - meter no. Looks dead to me. Any other things I...

I like techguy0192's comments on self restraint. I really do not need all the analog inputs and my D150 will fit the bill nicely. I'll stick with getting the MC152 and be patient till it shows up. Thanks for all the comments and guidance.
