I had the Denon Turntable and Cartridge. After 1 week it was traded in. The McIntosh, VPI, and Clearaudio available now is way beyond what Denon made in the 70's and with the new pricetag, the VPI Classic is so much better sounding than the 100th Anniversary Denon for nearly the same price. The Nashville dealer is also the new McIntosh dealer in the area. To test them, I went and asked for some advice on setting the tracking on the MT10 with a Stradivari. No one knew anything about it so the owner finally told me to send it McIntosh and have them set it up. Sounds like Best Buy. Is this the future of McIntosh Dealers? Hope Ivan hangs in there so we still have a knowledgeable dealer. ps. I have a Denon AVP-A1HDCI and it is great. It even uses the same Burr Brown DACS as in the MDA1000 and sounds the same with lossless music files.
