This seemed an innocuous thread at first...
My first Mac experience was at a show in the UK about 2 years ago, and i cant overstate it. I'd heard of Mac in reviews, and through word of mouth as gear "for the well off" and didnt give it much more thought. When I walked into the demo room and heard it for the first time it was a revelation. That sounds like idle chat but, honestly, I couldn't bring myself to leave. and even when i did, i dragged my friends back 3 times!
I'd never heard such(to my ears) an ideal balance of wamth, detail and emotional involvement. And i'd listened to more than a few systems over the years! well, it's taken a little time but 5 weeks ago, thanks to an unexpected bonus at work, i got my Mac system. I could describe the hifi experience, or the nights listening to the music, but hey, everyone reading this has been there and i'm preaching to the converted!
So why post now, my first post after so long as a member of AK? It's definitely this thread. I've read many over the last year or so that informed me, but none so much that have made me smile and nod in agreement. I could quote others that have put it far more eloquently than I, but I've just spent the last hour absorbing every word that has been said on this thread and i felt i had to add in my part.
Thanks Ryan, for the best thread posted here, and for knowing about the sickness....!
To Ron C and all at MAC, keep putting out that gear guys.
Oh, and by the way, I got a MC201, a 402 power amp and Sonus Faber Cremona speakers. Heaven!
My collection is almost there!?
