Ma352
Are there any MA352 users that would care to share their experiences with this integrated amp? A few reviews online but I prefer the review from owners. Thank you in advance.

I've had my MA352 for almost 2 years now driving Magnepan 3.7i's. I think it's a great amp. It's not analytical like most audiophile gear. I would describe it as warm and musical with realistic detail. It's also nice to have a full feature set unlike most audiophile integrated amps.
Here's a link to other previous comments on the MA352: https://www.audioaficionado.org/showthread.php?t=48406 |
Thank you OSAR

Most owners seem to be happy with it. I like it does not have the built in DAC.

And,... it has "Hybrid Drive!"

Does it have to reach 88mph?

A second system for the family room on the main floor. Wife chose the components. Very happy with the 1502. I have not rolled any tubes yet.

I can tell you that in terms of sales, Mac sells more of them than another product. It's extremely popular.

Has Mc announced a 2023 price increase yet? |
