This new McIntosh integrated looks like a winner

For $6500 you get what looks to be a really nice unit. Tube pre section, blue Meters and tone controls. I’m looking forward tovreviews

I think you go all tubes or no tubes. You either accept the introduction of distortion and like it or you don't. I don't see how you mix the two ideas. But that's just me and i'm an all tube guy.

Each approach has its benefits, and this “hybrid” approach seeks the best of both worlds. So, why not look for an integrated amp that offers the possibility of synergy along with simplicity?
