Default New MC352 Doesn't sound right
........And then I flipped the Bal/Unbal switch.
Damn! This amp doesn't have 2 hours on it and I'm already in love!
It's currently in the office on the Northcreeks being broken in for a couple days. I had the switch in the balanced position for the unbalanced connection from the MX113 and didn't quite sound right. By Saturday it will be in the main system mated with the MX119 and the Khorns, more to come later.........Many thanks to Audio Classic's not to mention Dan (JDandy) for helping me in this endeavor. My main system electronics are now 100% McIntosh.

Congratulations John! I hope that the mating goes well. I find that some Marvin Gaye and a bit of DeOxit to lubricate things encourage and facilitate the mating process .

John.......Congratulations. A fantastic amplifier. The brand new MC352 will only get sweeter. I am happy for you. I absolutely love mine.

Unpacking that monster wasn't like unpacking the MC275, was it?

Man, your thread title drew me right in. I thought, Oh, no! Thank goodness it was operator error. Looking forward to hearing what the MC352 does for the Khorns. Hope you have everything velcro'd down in the living room.

Congrats on your MC352.

I have one and love it. Sounds great to me and I'm sure the same will be true for you.

Got mine at AC also.

Have fun with it.

Enjoy your new amp!

One of the best looking, I think...

Of course, they ALL sound great!
