@gregp858  MC452 dude I’m jonesing for that amp! Not looking to hijack this thread but one quick question, @ 450w it’s a beast, does it need a dedicated line?

No it doesn’t need a dedicated line, but I did rewire my entire house and the 20 amp line that it is on really does not have much else on it. 😎🎶

Surely everybody knows that MacIntosh products are significantly overpriced,  a friend has a Mac Dac and we compared to my Denafrips at 1/3 the price, no comparison on sound quality but if you want blue lights the Mac is better.

They're junk. I hear they'll be out of business soon. I mean, c'mon. They've been making stuff since 1949 and clearly have no idea what they're doing and almost no one likes their equipment or buys anything they make. 

 

(That's heavy sarcasm for they humor impaired. Why anyone would listen to one word that yahoo says is beyond me)

Everybody his sound ! I don’t like McIntosh , and isn’t for me “the Rolex” of the amps.: than I will give it to VAC. : Is more natural,  detailfull and the sound is very 3-D. Mc is a “cliche” : used with Sonus Faber , and B&W : hi-fi :okay ! No high-end ! ( but like I said: everybody his sound and equipment)
