Hello Alberto,

I would spend my money on a Meridian system and rock balls all over this overpriced snooze box…

Hi Alberto,
…the Macs are so cool!
Do you know that new Italian web-site martinrecs ?
They have been mentioned in a forum as best audiophile store and as it seems on their site the prices are very good.
Thx!
Ulrich

Hi Alberto,

I too am an audiophile and used to sell Mcintosh equipment when I was in university. I think you hit the nail on the head when you said that the best sound came from a tube pre amp and a solid state main amp. I myself have even gone down the road of DIY and made my own set up and can assure that this is the best way of setting up your system if you have the money. Keep the reviews comming.

I hope you do more video’s.I am looking into buying Mcintosh soon myself.I have B&W 802D’s and will get the 501′s to run them. As well as the MC303 for the center and the rears.

I love your enthusiasm & passion, congrats, Alberto. I do not have much experience with Mac but, I have a lot of experience with the Meridian, mrnatron, and if you want to talk over-priced, over-hyped mediocre (at best) gear, get yourself a pair of Meridian digital-active speakers and prepare to be disappointed. I do have to admit, the Meridian does have a nice feature-set & a form-factor I like. Just crap otherwise.

Mines is so much better. I have a BSR turntable that was PRECISION BUILT IN GREAT BRITAIN. It plays 78s and has a big stylus that has 2 NEEDLES IN ONE! It sounds better than this junk with my Soundesign speaker! It has 475 watts on the back so its so much better than this one. The man at Sears said it’s a good one

Hey Alberto, that was a very nice review. The best thing I liked about it was that after spending on the music system that you always wanted, you are enjoying the sound it delivers, to me thats what is most important. Nice review mate. And by the way I never know anything about Mcintosh’s but today, I know what I am looking for.
