End of the 452 Run But New for me
After playing around with multiple systems, I finally realized I really liked the McIntosh sound best. Sold my old equipment and purchased a new MC452. Going with the MC452 vs waiting a few weeks for the new MC462 allowed me enough cash left over to by the AudioDesk Pro I've been wanting for some time now.
First impressions were a bit dull, but everyday it kept opening up and after a couple weeks of playing it about 8 hours a day it sounds awesome. Not sure how much better the 462 will be or not, but I'm a very satisfied owner.

sounds good, enjoy :-)
btw: is it awkward to repeat a question? it`s not a stupid/silly one in my opinion. regards from germany, oliver the question was: what are the differences between the preamp section of an mc integrated and a stand alone preamplifier? are there any besides of connections?

I'm sure there are others here who can give more detailed answers. The most basic answer is: the more components crammed into a single chassis, the more effect that one component can have on another. I also recommend the McIntosh manuals which will provide some solid numbers that should also illustrate some differences in performance.

It’s also nice being able to compare different components in the system, whether it is a new Dac, amplification, phono etc. Yes you can do this with an integrated, but I feel (and have been there) you get much better results with separates.
And besides sound quality its fun to keep waiting (saving up) for the next item in the chain and hearing a new sound all over again.
