Big Mc Attack!

So last Thursday was a big day, ever since we started HFL a few years ago I always promised myself that if we ever had the space, and the money to be honest, then I would love to represent McIntosh properly, I am a sucker for the meter’s, the blue & green look and that glass front panel, absolutely timeless.

We have dabbled with their headphone amps and Dac’s at Highend Headphones before but last week we took delivery of our first lot of demo stock, all very exciting, let the un-boxing commence, first I got round to un-boxing the stunning new MA252, I really do believe this is one of the prettiest amps ever made and when announced by McIntosh recently was the catalyst for me expanding my McIntosh range as I just had to have one on demo , I can really see this being very popular as at £4500 it isn’t silly money, especially when you see it and how well made it is, you really do wonder how McIntosh can do it for the money, I almost don’t care what it sounds like tbh when it looks this good :)

It is McIntosh’s first Hybrid design so valve’s for the Preamp stage and 100 Watts into 8 ohms of solid state power for the amplifier section, it also has a moving magnet phono stage section built in which is great news for all us vinyl lovers out there.

Anyway please find some pics below but please feel free to come in anytime for a look and listen, I must admit I spent most of Saturday turning it on and off to watch the valve warm up sequence, sad I know :)

Hi all,

So today we are unboxing 2 more McIntosh products, the MCD350 SACD / CD Player and the RS100 Wireless Speaker which has got to be one of the coolest wireless speakers out there.

Just one more un-boxing to go, the mighty MA9000 Integrated which is an absolute monster weighing 45kg’s so need to eat my Shredded Wheat before attempting that one :)

Update 3

Hi everyone,

So this is the last update on our McIntosh demo stock for a little while but you could say that we have saved the best till last, the MA9000 Integrated Amplifier, this really is a big Mc coming in at nearly 50KG’s and is definitely a 2 man lift.

With 300 Watts Per Channel, 10 analogue inputs, MC and MM Phono Inputs, Full Digital section, discrete 8 band tone control and headphone amplifier this really is a power house of an amplifier.

So I think we have a good spread of McIntosh on permanent demo now but if anything else in their range interests you please get in touch, I am still hankering after getting the MC275 soon, one of my all time favourite looking amps of all time so watch this space :)
