The MC1502 is a more neutral and resolving amp. Because it's a true vacuum tube design it doesn't distort the same way that solid state amps do. The MC302 that's inside the MA8000 offers more power, but is less immersive than the 1502 and does not draw you into the music in the same way that the 1502 does. (FWIW, I evicted the Aliens)
do you see much of a difference between the 1501 and the 2 301 amplifiers, us Aliens want to know and we are watching you
