Hello everyone,


I am currently trying to decide on which McIntosh amp to buy. I've
pretty much already limited myself to used equipment, because I can't
really afford new Mac stuff. Do any of you have some comments
regarding the sound of these two amps: specifically, the MC-2300 (300
wpc), and the MC-2002 (200 wpc stereo).

One concern of mine is that the measured total harmonic distortion of
the 2300 is 0.25%, while the 2002's is only 0.01%. This is compared to

new Mac amps, which measure in at 0.005% THD.

Can anyone really hear distortion from a mega-amp like the 2300?
Should I just be using my ears, and not be worrying about the specs?


Thanks very much for your input,

Adam
