MC 601 from music culture

I own the MC-601 pre-amp with MC-811 power amps and an MC-501a CD Player. It's fantastic electronics because of the natural sound they're able to offer. I compared it with AYON, AUDIO RESEARCH, PASS LABS... For the price, it bested the whole competition.

Hi all

My original post was from Jan-12 and since then I bought the
MC-601. To my ears this is one of the best values in hiend - a 1st class preamp that based on the same technology as the top of the line preamps from MBL. I consider now also the mc-811 monoblocks. Ibelieve - can you elaborate a little bit on your path towards the mc-811 and especially which Pass labs did you compare it with (I own now xa60.5). I will probably decide between mc-811 and Audionet Max if I decide to let the Pass labs go.
