    McIntosh C55 and C2800

    I am dissapointed. It is the same like in the last 15 years. And I am not buying anymore a preamp without a build in streamer.

    MCD550 as a preamp?

    Thats exactly the question why we started 11 years ago with audio blind tests. I had the MCD 301 and I asked myself in these days if it is better to go direct to a power amp or via a pre amp. First of all I thought with a pre amp it is better, it sounded "louder", till somebody gave me the hint...

    Expierence with my new MC 152

    Dear Clubsta, I am sorry, but I will not start again with an Internet page. It is to time consuming. And in the last amp-shootouts which we did in the last year, we could hear no differences at all between the amps (Mark Levinson, Moon Simaudio, Mcintosh & Accuphase). This result was mainly...

    Expierence with my new MC 152

    I am sorry for this, I took my old amp-shootout page from the internet and wanted to build a new internet side which includes also all my vintage stuff (ca. 500 amps and tuners right now). But I stopped the project and I am not sure if I will go on because it is very time consuming. But I can...

    CD player as preamp?

    Thats exactly the question why we started 10 years ago with audio blind tests. I had the MCD 301 and I asked myself in these days if it is better to go direct to a power amp or via a pre amp. First of all I thought with a pre amp it is better, it sounded "louder", till somebody gave me the hint...

    Trading Down on Power?

    I stepped down in the bedroom from a MC252/MCD 301 combination to a MC152/MCD 301 for design reason. MC252/MCD 301 sounded wonderful. MC152/MCD 301 sounds wonderful. Best regards Martin

    C70 /C2152 review

    In Hifi&Records there is a wonderful review about the MC2152/C70. The reviewer is talking about a dream team. Alone they are great, but as a combo they are unbeliveable. Power for the MC2152 was 224 Watt for 4 and 8 Ohm (1%, THD, 1 khz) Distortion for MC 2152 was 0,037% (THD+N, 10W, 4 Ohm) S/N...

    Distortion is also absolut inaudible for all these products: Mcintosh MC 452 0,001% Mcintosh MC 611 0,002% Mcintosh MC 462 0,004% Accuphase A 250 0,0005%

    Excellent review of MC 462

    Good Point. S/N A weighted for MC 452 was 106,0 dB S/N A weighted for MC 611 was 104,0 dB S/N A weighted for MC 462 was 94,7 dB Results for MC 452 and 611 are outstanding. For MC 462 is still very good, despite that it is10 dB lower. Best ever measured amp for S/N in this magazine is...

    Excellent review of MC 462

    In the new Hifi & Records - is like the german Stereophile - there is an excellent review of the MC 462. Interessing were also the measurement results for the MC 462. Power for 4 Ohm was 662 Watt and power for 8 Ohms was 618 Watt. This was a little bit better than the MC 452 which they reviewed...

    McIntosh C2700

    For me the C2700 is only a further facelift. C2500, C2600 and C2700 are all from the same line up. The same happens with C50, C52 and C53. Or for example MC601 and 611. Good for me, I will save a lot of money. IMHO Mcintosh should come up with a real new line up. Best regards Martin

    Yes I am the guy with the amp shootout website page and I have to apologize that I didnt maintained the website the last two years. I am working right now on a new stereo vintage website, where I compare from my collection some amps, receivers and tuners from the 60,70 and 80s. The side will be...

    Which amps have digital power meters?

    Oh sorry guys, my bad english You are correct! I am looking for numeric power meters. In my opinion the Accuphase are tho only numeric power meters which show the true power. The Luxman is depending of the impedance switch and shows only an aproximation. Does somebody know more numeric power...

    Which amps have digital power meters?

    I think that only the MX 1000 had digital power meters. I am not talking about bar graphs. Which other Yamahas do you mean?!

    VERY INTERESTING! McIntosh Celebrates 70th Anniversary

    First of all I like to congratulate Mcintosh to this very cool Edition. It looks like Mcintosh, but has also a cool modern look. On the other hand I was shocked to see that the MC 2152 is 28 Inch deep, I cant put it on no place, rack or furniture at all. For me as a collector this is tough. To...

    McIntosh Amps - Can they Double Down?

    Damacman, like always good posts and explanations from you. Thanks for these posts. Only two little comments from my side (in general I aggree with your post): 1. There are some amps like for example the Accuphase A200 or M6200 which almost "double down" also in reviewed measurements (factor...

    Expierence with my new MC 152
