I joined Audio Aficionado a couple of days ago and thought I’d say hello and share my audio journey over the past 6 months.

I have always been into home theater and around Christmas I got the itch to setup a small 2 channel system and bought a Parasound JC2 BP, A21, and KEF LS50’s. I thought I would be content for a while as I really enjoyed the sound. Well that didn’t last more than a month or two, when I decided my speakers were holding me back and replaced the LS50’s with Focal 1028BE’s. Within a month of the speaker replacement I decided to try tubes and bought a PrimaLuna DiagLogue Premium preamp and DiaLogue Premium HP amp. While I like the PrimaLuna, I didn’t love it. The biggest problem I had through all of this is I couldn’t stop searching and looking at McIntosh as I’ve always be intrigued by the brand. So, I decided to replace the PrimaLuna with a C2300 and MC275. I love the C2300, however I still struggled with the MC275 sound and have decided I’m just not a tube amp guy and picked up an MC302. I’m happy to announce my audio journey is over as I absolutely love the C2300 and MC302 with Focal’s.

In hide sight I should have just bought McIntosh to start! Anyway, thanks for reading.

Did someone say they have an MC452 for sale? Just Kidding

knecht.......Welcome to Audio Aficionado. :wave:

If you don't mind, may we know your first name?

Fast progress, welcome

Thank you for the warm welcomes.

I’m confident there will be more upgrades in the future. However I’m content for now and my wife is happy the merry go round of equipment has stopped. I also think UPS and FedEx are tired of seeing me with heavy boxes.
