it seems rather obvious that as much as the reviewer wanted to give a rave review to this unit he had to dance around issues of sound quality and price vs performance. ja's measurements left little doubt that something was amiss. whether potential customers like mcintosh products or not based on sound and style is one thing but one thing they can't argue about is mc's track record for reliabilty and service.

Regardless of price which one of the mini's would you chose?
Thanks

I'm gonna bite the bullet and order my Arcam AVR350. I can't wait..

In keeping with the new spirit of product announcements on the forums, I thought it would be apropos for NFS Audio to make the following proclamation:

I have, after thinking on audio and elemental physiology theory for nearly 30 years... managed to get myself into a situation where I have intentionally created what will likely be a watershed moment in audio reproduction, as applied to the ideas and understandings in audio and biosystems.

I did this..all in the name of better audio! Tunage, dudes!! It's all about the tunage!

I am a classic jazz guy, through and through. No Kenny G for me! Looking for a Xmas album by the masters, if such a thing exists. I vaguely remember one called "A Be-Pop Christmas", or something like that.
Happy Holidays!
