Remarkable detail, clarity, depth of soundstage, but a little thin in bass. Much more audiophile level of performance than expected. The MA252 was very good but I thought it strained when pushed (not really unexpected) and in the best (worst?) audiophile tradition I naturally traded it for a C70 and MC462. I am truly smitten with the C70. Great MC section built in, very smooth even out of the box. The JBLs sound even better, but I may acquire a pair of Sabrina down the road. The MT5/C70/MC462 is a really impressive set up from McIntosh. By the way speaking of nostalgia, my CD player is a Nakamichi OMS 7II from the mid ‘80s.
Nice!!

Amazing HIFI setup and love the photos. What camera did you use? (I know the post-processing is 50% of the work).

Actually very little post processing here.
I shoot landscape photography and that's a lot of work! I use Nikon D850 now - it's truly great camera.

The D850 is an amazing camera and it shows. Congratulations on the HIFI setup. Amazing looking and I am sure it sounds just as good.
