The MC252 power-amp is a gorgeous looking piece of equipment too. Those lovely baby blue eyes (the VU meters that have become a McIntosh trademark) make you want to put the power-amp on display instead of hiding it somewhere. The speakers connectors in the back are top quality and the most flexible and easiest to use I have …Apr 20, 2018 · The McIntosh MA-252 amplifier comes with a remote control, a heavy gauge power cable, a set of four tubes (protected by foam packaging) and just as many protective grills.

Price/performance relation is for a High End amp excellent. 7. I can stack perfectly the MCD301 over the MC152.

As for the MC2255 vs. MC7270, that'd be hard. The MC2255 was the last McIntosh amp built on a chrome chassis.

MC-275 features a modern electrical design to go with vintage looks. As MC-275 has sold well, a lot of us have been begging for a similar effort in an integrated amp. Voila!!! Since the mid 2000s most new Macs have run $6-7k. It's been a long list of terrific products and we ...It is a completely balanced amplifier. The MC252 is not a balanced amplifier. Every safety feature that the MC402, and MC501 amplifiers employ is in the MC352. I don't know who has been misdirecting you, but the MC352 gives up nothing, and sounds fabulous. In no way am I discrediting the MC252.The Mc2300 has the classic Mc tube-like sound of the smaller amps, but with endless power (Mc2505,MC2105). The Mc2300 is a man's amp, the Dirty Harry, the .357 Magnum of any amp I have ever owned. The Mc2500 to me sounds good, but in the Mc2205/MC2255 sense of the word. Meaning, a little rounded at the edges sounding.New Member. Jan 10, 2015. #1. I am a relative newcomer to McIntosh. I have enjoyed my MC 252 for a couple of years but had it paired with a capable Rotel pre. I'm ready to jump into the world of Mc pre-amps and have an offer in for C 45. The C 45 seems to be a bit of a enigma. On the one hand, it gets good reviews for 2 channel.Nov 16, 2008. #16. haurock said: Don't recall having any read bad reviews on the MC352. Get in touch with the folks at Audio Classics and I think they will quickly dispel any 'bad press' you may have heard about the MC352. It is certainly a step up from the MC252 and very similar in most respects to the MC402, but, for much less money.LP Vinyl ReviewWhat A Wonderful World by 山本剛Playback Equipment:McIntosh C50 PreAmpMcIntosh MC252 AmplifierJM Lab Focal Micro Utopia SpeakerTEAC TN-570 TurntableMcintosh.

Concurrently, the Panloc mounting system was phased out. The production cycle of the MC 7200 spanned this change. Early production units had the 16-3/16" wide faceplate. Later production units had the 17-1/2" faceplate.Cary vs. McIntosh reviews (updates) I just brought a Cary V12 amp on Audiogon.

I chose the C2300 over the C220 because 1) meters in case I use non-metered amps 2) MC phono stage 3) able to change pre settings with the remote from my listening position. The C220 is a great entry into Mc seperated but you ...Packed, the MC1502 weighs 135 pounds, and unboxed, 118. A discussion with the urgent care doc about being careful nicked $800 out of the C22 fund, so proceed with caution. It's not the lifting the 118-pound amp that gets you into trouble, it's the trying to gently wiggle it into the equipment rack that will bite you.A first-round vote pick for induction in Class A of the next edition of our "Recommended Components."

(607) 723-3512. www.mcintoshlabs.com.Jul 2, 2012. #5. Get the MC352 and be done with it. I believe it was McIntosh's first fully balanced amp. It is a work of art inspired by the MC500 design. A massive power transformer and autoformers look great on the polished stainless steel chassis. When you pick it up you can feel the quality: it weighs 120 pounds.

After all, its MC2301 valve amplifier is rated with an output of 300W into 8 ohms. But achieving such high power output using only valves costs money. and lots of it.
