Terry.....buy it, and don't look back. in my years of buying Mc, the 252 is a "sure thing." If you are looking for a great sounding little integrated, you found it.

I just might try one of these little guys out. Having just sold my office integrated amp, I am in the market for something!

You will love it. For the price, it's crazy good.

Hi there, If you matched this pretty pippy up with a good dac, do you think it could be used as a pre amp for the mc 452 power amp? Or no chance?

Does it have pre-outs? If so, then yes, though you would be better off with a used C2300 or something like that for about the same $$.

Yup! According to Mike at Audio Classics, it is the first one to come back to his store as a used unit.

New here but long time Mcintosh owner.
I really like my MMG’s and would like to try the new MA252 with them.
The MMG’s are 4 ohm 86db efficient.

Any opinions on how they would match up? The 252 puts out 160 watts at 4 ohms.
I would appreciate all thoughts.

Thanks,
Albert
