I'd be curious to find out if the vacuum tubes are lit up when using only the solid state output of the preamp?

I apologize for going way off topic. Hope I haven’t offended anyone.

I personally would absolutely jump on the MC901 (if I could) because of the versatility and technology. From what I understand, the 901’s are a combination of 2301s and 601s on one chassis. I have not heard them yet but if that’s true, holy cow. If I were a little stronger, the original 1.2s...

I’ve always been streaming, either from all the major services or stored hires files. Those who are predominately vinyl will love the 1.25 or similar sounding newer McIntosh amps. I had SF Strads at the time with Bricasti and Lampizator dacs. My plans for vinyl might eventually happen. Vinyl...

Actually he decided to keep the 303. I’m not too upset because I was having nightmares thinking about getting it back home anyway. After looking through some recent posts, I’m more interested in the MC830 right now, they are a little easier to manage weight wise and probably sound just as good...

Thank you so much for the video.

New words? Funny

Very sad news. Rest In Peace Roger. Thank you for sharing.

I have a pair of C7 40th anniversary and am thinking about the 40.3XD. My gut tells me that either will be awesome and I’ve always loved the MC303. I’m hoping to pick it up in a week or two.

Awesome story and well done with all the upgrades. I'd have no clue how to do what you did but I'm happy you were able to help him and his system!

Thank you gentlemen. I appreciate your responses.

Thank you so much for your reply. I’m getting back my MC303 from my brother in a few weeks. Looking forward to hearing that combo. The MC303 always reminded me, sound-wise, of the MC1.2KW amps. I’m intrigued by the MC312 and MC830’s..

Thoughts on pairing Harbeth with McIntosh?

Congratulations! The unit will have to come out to change the tubes. Don't worry, you can get 8K to 10K hours on a set of tubes. And try and leave at least several to 4 or more inches of clearance on top. Check the manual.

1,000 of times. :crazy:

Holy cow! Don’t tell me that McIntosh is not innovating. This is brilliant. Of course it’s not cheap but trickledown technology might offer a less expensive solution in the future. I can’t count the number of discussions and questions I’ve seen about either biamping or mixing tubes and solid...

I like it too. Don’t worry, not everyone is smart enough :whip:to realize they like it too. It’ll take them a little while. Keep up the great work! :hug:

My brother has the MA252 and could not be any happier. I love the looks of this new MA352 and with a little more additional power would drive any speaker I’d consider. I’m afraid that I might have trouble staying away. Nice job McIntosh. Best of luck with this one.

bump for any more updates.

Glad you are happy with your system. Sometimes we make a move too quickly and realize it was a mistake. At least not this time for you. Enjoy. Yes! Audio Classics is awesome. Always great service.

Re: the August purchase and now selling - I've sold name brand/model amps after a month. It's not relevant in the grand scheme of things. If you can do a demo, all the better and listen for yourself. Re: the hum on the one amp. His electricity and mine are a lot alike. We both have some DC on...
