McIntosh c2700 users please chime in?

FirstWatt J2 on its way
Ok after 10 months I am loving the j2. However, I listen to a lot of electronic music and I feel the J2 is a little muddy on that type of music. Fantastic on Jazz, classical and classic rock. I'm now thinking of trading the J2 in on a Pass Labs XA...

ScothurwitzI know how to set up an audio system thank you, I’ve been doing this for 40 years.  Yes, I know how to access tube panel. No my TT is not sitting directly on top of the preamp. Lots of unhooking to access tubes due to rack. Stop assumin...

Everybody report back. I’m curious. To change tubes, I have to remove tt and top shelf of my rack. I would like to hear from more people before going they the hassle.  
Are integrated amps technically better than separates?
Great info. Sounds like the key with separates is high quality interconnects.
