Recommend a non-polite sounding amp / integrated

Not worthless to me. I got some good information here.

@nonoise

Thanks for the recommendation. I like the Technics brand and also understand digital amps can have more of a "direct" sound than analog. The only one I heard was great for detail retrieval and had no bass compare to analog. But other brands may be different.

My apologies for being part of the problem. 

Uncledemp. you are not. Don't let a few grouchy people ruin things here. What is right and what is wrong? It all depends on your point of view.

corelli:

if you don’t like or agree with the parameters someone has stated they want then quit being part of the problem and just let those who want to try and help the person out with their suggestions.  Yes, there are many factors one usually considers, not the least of which is the room and treatments, but he didn’t mention them so it must not be important to them, or they are unaware of the impact they have on sound.  So instead of being hostile and insulting, why don’t you try to educate.  Everyone starts with limited knowledge on their hi-fi (mid-fi) journey, sites like this one should nurture and encourage instead of being, well, what you’re being like. Get off your high (fi) horse and either help out or butt out.  It’s reactions like yours that may make other members apprehensive to engage, quite the opposite of what should be happening!

I am a buyer for the cast off MC240 stricken by polite…

I would suggest …… color me flumoxxed….

Rogue or something w tube rectified power supply so you can roll your desired level of polite. 

@tomic601 good idea! Rogue or Cary integrated with tube rectifier stage. Used Cary SLI 80’s pop up all the time.
