I was just in a Cocktail bar in Seoul where the owner bought two McIntosh amps to run two speakers, and hires Vinyl Djs [ whaaat?] to come in with their own collections of vinyl, spinning up individual tracks the whole night off of vinyl; what the actual hell. I didn't know this hobby gets that out of hand....
Personally I love these just the way they are! Perfect! I do miss the product discussions you used to have… 😊
Thank you
Adrian! Your nails are to die for!
about a dozen years ago i might have said that his nails were on fleek
but now it only makes people cringe
Yeah, I was a bit taken back when he said now lets turn it on and a lady's hand comes in, lol.
Why Thank you!
Looking forward to a comparison with the C2700.
Thank you, Adrian for this unboxing video...I love the old C2700 with MC462 power amp. Can't wait for your full review on this new C2800. 😊
Many may not be aware, but using the HDMI on the C2700 gives an incredible front soundstage with a "phantom" center channel in my experience. I'd assume it may be the same here, there is some magic in using the HDMI connection for me for TV. Thanks for the video Adrian.
My pleasure
Hello Fellow Audiophiles And Friends: Adrian thank you for this video. I look forward to the the performance video as well as your expert narrations. God Bless you, your family, and your crew. TMP from N.J. 🙏
Thank you, and the same to you and yours
I like to see the whole unboxing, just like this one. ❤
Thanks!
I like these videos. Keep them coming.
lol, ok!
I really liked Adrian’s fingernails and many rings in this video.
yes, just got my manicure
One of these days you should have a special guest star do an unbox with you.
The amazing Villip Magoo!
Whatever happened to Villip?
@@AF-rd2vf They boxed him up and shipped him out
I prefer the original user manual colours, but really it no big deal. Thanks Adrian😎👍
My pleasure
Lol, @ 2:33, I was like, "Whoa! Nice nails, bud!" But I get it now.
Really good reviews 🥰
haha, thanks
Hello Audio Excellence, great Video like always!😃 I assume one can adjust the Volume also for the second Room/Output 2 separately from the main output? In my case I want to use 4 Speakers in one big Room, of which 2 have 95 dB efficiency and 2 85 dB. Thank You!
The most significant thing was to state the fact that R2R is coming back. 😊😊😊
Wait a min WAIT a Min . The hand man the hand . Lol
Cece’s
(staring at a zebra) ooooooo fancy horse!
(longing after MacIntosh gear) fancy preamp.
i'm taking delivery on my first fancy preamp soon but it is not a MacIntosh because *i didn't come from money*
I run your unboxing videos on a loop! keep them coming! Also, I'm so old I need an input for my Edison cylinders. Does it have one?
lol
MAD1 red watch
Thanks for all the awesome videos. Adrian I have a Hifi Rose RS130 coming and not quite sure the best way to hook it up to the DA2 on my C2800, can you help out? I can only think of the USB A to B as the best source. It would be nice when McIntosh starts including I2S ports, perhaps on the DA3.....
Connect the digital output from the HiFi Rose to the DAC2 module. USB will have the highest potential resolution if you have high rez files
How about double blind tube vs solid state unboxing 😂 But seriously, the active crossover option is very cool. Far better to do it at the preamp level.
Waiting to have some (good) explanation about the 4 lamps instead of 6 in the C2700… why, and impacts.
I think it’s because the C2800 circuitry combines MC and MM so only two tubes needed for that. I have the C2800 from a C22 and it is remarkably better sounding, especially the phono stage.
I would really like to understand that as well. It looks to me like the sea 2700 was using 2 dual triode tubes for each of MM and MC using only one channel on the triode. Looks like the 2800 uses both triodes in the 12ax7a. But I am just guessing because I can’t find a picture of the C2800 view with the diagram.
Hi Adrian! I noticed that good-looking white tower in the corner of the room behind you, left of that rack holding a lot of vinyl LPs. Is that white tower a bass trap, and if so, does it perform well? That one is SO much better-looking than the other bass traps I've seen. Where could I buy that?
That's a lamp from Ikea
Whenever I buy a new piece of gear, I ask my kids to video me unboxing it.
Let's see them!
Thank you for the video; and the price point? Best regards from Portugal.
$8,500 USD
I have the 2700 with 611 i love it ,it soft the dynamic quad amp i use to have c27 before was very hi sounds.
Thank you for the video, but I am more interested in your watch. What is that beauty?
M.A.D 1 Red by the crazy Max Busser
It needs more inputs. 16 isn’t enough
I agree!!!! lol
When will Mc Intosh provide balanced phono inputs?
Balance doesn't sound as good
Was that hand some sort of “Easter egg”
Why do you need so many inputs - I own a C8 - it has the perfect number of inputs
With your knowledge and experience, it would be great to do an experiment, just for kicks... Buy a good Chinese tube amp, Cayin or similar, and have your team do a blind test against something comparable and see if they are really that far behind.... wouldn't that be fun? Just saying... 😊
is diablo 333 coming?
Sometime in May/June
No AES digital input.
Like all Mcintosh gear, just an eye candy with average sound at best.
Equipment is getting so complicated I don’t understand anymore.
Did i win?! Lol
Very deceptive to hear that you will not compare with the previous model… 😢
Deceptive? He said he no longer had a C2700 on hand to compare and would use the C55 instead. No deception involved.
