Re: New McIntosh Integrated MA12000
It’s impressive looking.
I must say, however, who decides the product nomenclatures at McIntosh - MA12000? Not a criticism but an observation..._______________

Both Ron and Chuck are quick to respond and very helpful. They will point you in the right direction which will likely begin with your authorized dealer and/or distributor for your country. Good luck in a speedy resolution.

Re: New McIntosh Integrated MA12000
This looks awesome... I would be tempted to sell all my gear for one of these, but then again, other than power, mine probably sound better.
I like that their new DAC goes up to DSD512 but I would think the T+A is better. I also believe the SimAudio phono stages are probably better. I am also 100% sure the Moon headphone amp us much better. I also think the 3-box Hattor is better than the built in pre... but oh what a wonderful package!Amps: Hattor Passive w/Tube Active Stage, McIntosh MC7100 v2
Turntables: Rega RP8, NEO PSU; Technics SL-1500C; McIntosh MP100

Re: New McIntosh Integrated MA12000
This does look amazing, but I wonder the value as compared to a Pass INT-250 for example. Certainly more whistles-and-bells on the Mac.
If a person wanted to avoid the upgrade bug and just wanted one unit to do practically everything, this does seem terrific. Get a streamer hooked up and/or a turntable, and you could be done for quite awhile.
Would look great with my Elipsa SE's...Kevin
