Craig Sawyers Posted February 15, 2016 Report Posted February 15, 2016 For out and out classic beauty the McIntosh takes a lot of beating Quote
guzziguy Posted February 15, 2016 Report Posted February 15, 2016 I'm holding out for that Arsebiter amp that Dusty posted about today in another thread. 1 Quote

I would think the McIntosh would at least be worth considering. But yeah, no Blue Hawaii, no KGSSHV, no...Luxman... Quote
spritzer Posted February 16, 2016 Report Posted February 16, 2016 McInstosh are good at doing what they usually do but I do wonder just how much Denon tech is in there. Quote
DefQon Posted February 16, 2016 Report Posted February 16, 2016 That list is like opening a bag of shit. You get more surprised reading each page you flip. While the Oppo HA-1 was ok for what it does at its price point the Cypher Labs tube amp and the Mac MHA100 has got to be some of the worse sounding amps for its value that I have heard. Quote
wink Posted February 16, 2016 Report Posted February 16, 2016 O2. just because NwAvGuY did ALL his research and has the figures to prove that his amp is the bestest. And, also becuz he wuz banned over at Hype-Fi. Quote

DefQon Posted February 21, 2016 Report Posted February 21, 2016 Sounds like a report on dealers from the remaining brick and mortar stores that deal with high end audio having a bitchfest. Quote
Craig Sawyers Posted February 21, 2016 Report Posted February 21, 2016 Agreed; huge numbers of bricks and mortar businesses have gone out of business because they have failed to change with the times. High end audio is not immune to this. Good case in point, Analogue Seduction http://www.analogueseduction.net/ who are principally an on-line high-end retailer. You can book a demo (in the guy's front room), but most of his business is via web sales. There are many such examples worldwide, all of which erode traditional bricks and mortar stores. Quote
