I have been a McIntosh admirer for a long while now. I have an excellent Adcom system (GTP-602 and GFA-5800 feeding my JBL XPL-160's). I am happy, but feel that there is a lot of noise, especially in the phono stage. I visited a local record store and was blown away (for the like millionth time) by the sound of the McIntosh gear being played. Older stuff, but just fantastic. It got me thinking again about making the change to a M system. I see many tempting local offers, both new and used.
For any who have made the change (@Zonker92) was it all you expected going from the Adcom setup to a McIntosh setup? Also, Integrated vs. Separates, what would you have done different.
I have the option to go with a great tube pre, with my 5800 and later (ie. next bonus check) upgrade the amp.
Thoughts???
