Tell them about the other courteous response you sent on this same thread days ago vuch when you told me to go back to my shoe shine box. Some people might find that offensive ... 

I can tell you McIntosh is complete garbage. I just had a c 2500 preamp and compared it to an Ayre K5xemp.  The Ayre absolutely smoked the McIntosh.  The McIntosh sounded like it belonged on the top shelf of Best Buy.
