Some of my links are affiliate, others are for my store. Either way when you click and buy from them you are helping support my small business. So THANK YOU!
Awesome integrated amp for sure but it’s not a McIntosh. Resell one in a couple years and you will understand a McIntosh. Even better, own one for 40 years. That’s the McIntosh value.
if I put fancy wheels on a Honda Civic it doesn't make it a Porsche..........Mcintosh......there is no substitute!!!
Lenny, I am lusting after that Advance-Paris. Especially after your report, Randy's review and hearing them at AXPONA. Glad you made it home safe.
I toured the McIntosh factory in 2014. Their dedication to quality and service is king. They can restore or repair any component they make or made regardless of age. They also have a so-called unaffiliated sister store in a town not far away from their factory that has the used equipment for sale that has been serviced. It’s called Audio Classics in Vestal New York. No foreign manufacturer can beat that.

Today my new A12 arrived at my house, it is a gem
Yeah, Skylab Audio recently did an AP vs Mc comparo, too. So, I'll mention my same thoughts here: 1) Where is the AP made? Yeah, yeah, designed in France, very cool, but where is it actually made? Doubt it is France.....perhaps People's Republic of (Communist) China? The Mc is made in USA. Which would you be proud to have in your home? 2) The Mc can be kept running into the future, with or without Mc factory support. The AP has a digital section. In 3-5 years, the spare parts boards will be depleted and the specialized, SMT uP parts that were used will no longer be available. Boat anchor. 3) Mc supplies full service docs, I bet you don't have access to the AP docs. Probably only their factory repair center (1 or 2 in the USA?) will have any service documentation. Go with the Mc for the long game, and for the provenance.
Let us know how it sounds with the Lintons.
The Advanced Paris is a beautiful amplifier with a similar look of the McIntosh but without the McIntosh premium price. McIntosh is a nostalgic brand, so the question is, someday, is Advanced Paris going to be a nostalgic brand in the future?
Sales video not a review.
Will it drive my Magneplanar 3.7i s? If not, I don't care.
Ht bypass mode?
Accuphase E-5000
Why are there so many Mcs for sale in the used market?
Am I the only one who thinks this amp looks like a white van special😂
McIntosh is reliable, Advance Paris is not.😊
Something I consider most important is simply is this product reliable? I've had a few annoying moments with equipment that is not cheap but cheaply made and has failed. I only look at equipment now with a proven track record and an excellent warranty.
I wish they would bring the silver faced units to the US. The image in the Australian HI-FI review is beautiful. Any thoughts on how this might pair with Polk LiSM-707's?
Still have no idea how it sounds😩
They started in 1995.
