Giving serious thought to replacing my MA6600 and D100 with the MC312 and D1100 in 2019.
AS I have been listening to everything "flat" lately, perhaps I will just connect the D1100 directly to the 312 and not bother with adding an additional pre-amp in the chain. Any opinions and advice? |

Do it up. That's how I'm set up and I'm very happy with it.

MC1000 was the first quad balanced design.

I'm thinking between a used 452 and a new 312.
the sound is better than the 302 ? |

I’ve owned all 3 of these amps. The 312 hands down the best of the three. Easily the best 2 channel Mc amp I’ve owned over the years.

Hey JWJW, could you share why you preferred the 312?

It just sounded better (to me). The only way I can describe it...super dynamic and punchy.

Decided to keep my MC312 as it is super dynamic and punchy.
Regardless of power level, heatsinks barely get warm. Dan
