Thanks for the replies guys. I should have unit in hand in two days. So Joe, you previously owned the 601 monoblocks? wow, that must have been some set up. What did you replace them with? I have th Mcintosh mx 122 A/V Processor. I use it strictly for 2 channel. The reason I didn’t get a tube pre amp is beacuse 60 percent of my listening is spotify-tidal-itunes. I sort of regret not getting the mc C2500. Thank you for clairifying the screw and dust cover issue for me.
Mcintosh mc 452 question.
I purchased this amp last week. It should arrive here in a few days. I have been reading the manual online as I wait for the amp to get here. Is it really necassary to unscrew the 4 screws on the back of the unit before you attach your speaker cables. Then put the 4 screws back in afterward. What's the purpose of this?
For those of you using banana cables, are you all using the dust covers?
A huge thank you in advance to anyone who can straighten me out on this. Have a great day
Regards,
HiFiNewbie

Hi, I did have the MC601’s but I had them when I owned TAD CR-1 speakers. I never was crazy about those speakers and after trying amp, after amp, gear upon more gear, I finally gave up on them and sold them. I have Sonus Faber Strads now. I fell in love with the Strads listening to them through a C500T and MC2301s. Ironically I never matched them up with McIntosh. I hope to in the near future. I have Ayre gear now with my Strads. A KXR-20 and MXR-20 monos. I still want/need to hear my Strads with McIntosh, so I am debating what to do/get. I am like you and stream a lot. My system is playing 12-15 hours a day and a McIntosh tube preamp is not out of the question. The preamp tubes last a long time. I am sure the MX122 sounds great. Congrats on your MC452. It’s a keeper. Get help moving the 452, it’s a beast. Happy to help in any way possible.
