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!Neil degrasse Tyson - "A great challenge of life: Knowing enough to think you are right, but not knowing enough to know you are wrong."

Hi Charles...so sorry for your loss. It’s not easy when we lose a pet. I’ve had to go through this many times in my life as I always have 3-5 cats at a time. (Currently 4) All are special in there...
Lost another family member last...
