Looks gorgeous! How’s it sound?
For a single bluetooth speaker awesome .. bass is crazy and punchy and clear highs. Much better than Klipsch fives, KEF LSX etc. And the signature McIntosh colors.

It is shocking that a brand like McIntosh would head down the path of a single speaker wireless music system like this, in a market flooded with such devices. If there is money to be made, why not.
I am curious if this is a badge engineered product or one of their very own. The Made in China badge is sort of a giveaway. Would have been nice had they made it as a full stereo option with a second loudspeaker that can connect to the main unit. Will make it a compact option for those who want stereo without the clutter of owning stereo equipment.

They have a higher model which is more of a sound bar form factor for stereo effect. Yes the limitation with this is that its a single speaker but if there was a stereo option it would be a 5star product. Easily beats even Naim Muso
No pictures yet - however just ordered a pair of Genelec G3s - finally.

The Nagra Jazz preamp joined the party (top of the stack) one last time before I had had planned to put it up for sale in the classifieds. I played one song and .....
Holy cow! The SQ went to another level. Now this little pre is not going anywhere and staying put at the top of the stack.
(proving to me -- yet again -- what a good pre can do for a system)
The top plank isn’t too happy looks like.
Not one bit. I need to woodwork a support or two, sometime soon.
Good point.
But Nagra components are designed to be stacked one on top of another (notches on the top cover). Maybe its just for aesthetics.
Either ways I will separate them out to see if SQ improve, it would be a shame if it does (haha), they look so much better all stacked up.

I'll have to coin a new word if it does not exist. Jealousy's meaning will be part of the new word.
How does it sound compared to a modern amplifier?

It was made in 1979, and all components are stock still.
Slight hiss or noise when very very close to speakers, almost when you touch ears.
Phono 1 stage lacks gain, there are two so yet to compare second one.
Slight Pops when powering on, I turn of the speaker inputs before turning it on.
But yet I enjoy this amp more than modern amp, apart from the Vu Meters, there are more things to like about it.
Warm analogish sound, and so much customisation the way you want to tune the sound is something to be experienced.
I will be doing a full comparison with Modern amp soon.

Completed a Tube SSE (Simple single ended). This build has a few things that make it very versatile.
- Switch Sec. V between 275 & 300v (B+ upto 360v)
- UL/Triode Switch
- 4 bias levels to run different tubes
- Switch between tube /solid-state rectifier.
The design is by George Anderson. Check it out here - a very versatile board. I've got a few more builds coming with various voltages ( B+ 460v for 6550) and one with a regulated screen voltage for running sweep tubes.
The transformers are Edcor and the CCS ICs are IXYS10M45s. Everything else is sourced locally. Thanks to Beginner_N (Nishant
) for the chassis.
Its an easy build.
