The MA2275 just wouldn't 'sing' for me. I had a C2200 & pair or reissue MC75s and wanted to down size (always a mistake ). Frank Gow was at Audio Classics at the time and I always dealt with him (a total class act - may he RIP). Frank warned me that I was making a mistake, but I did not listen. I tried several months of tube-rolling and never could get a sound that I liked thru my 3 different sets of speakers. Just did not work for my ears. One of the most 'blah' sounding pieces of gear I've owned. Since then I've had a BAT VK-300xSE and my current Cary SLI-80. Both terrific pieces of gear that are up there with the B-60RP, MA-6850 & MA-6600. Could easily live with any of them. Hope I've answered your questions.

I think I am at the end of my OCD fueled quest. Accuphase E-600 does it better than anything I have owned or auditioned.

I actually did. Accuphase won out by a decent margin. The E-600 has excellent synergy with all my components!

OT, but I had a chance to listen to those 7t's while up in Chicago the other week. Very nice. I mentioned that they reminded me of some ADS's I had several years ago and very much enjoyed, and was told that the fellow who founded AA had previously been responsible for design and production at ADS. |

It's been an interesting journey for sure. Started with Luxman L-590AX, then Accuphase E-470, then GATO Amp 150 (imported by Michael Kelly of Aerial Acoustics) and now Accuphase E-600. I auditioned a whole bunch of Pass gear including both integrateds. Really great gear. I just preferred the Accuphase, not to mention all the additional features it had over the Pass. The INT 250 is a great amp!

I've always enjoyed the Accuphase gear. Heard a lot of it in Kobe and loved the musicality of all their stuff. Solid choice.
