What was that? Smearing? Could it be? Yes.
#CAYIN A88T MK2 REVIEW MAC#
I prepared myself for a treat :) Initially, my first impression was that the Mac had a more expansive feel.a wider stage, but at a cost of some smearing. The very reputable dealer said it was retubed from the factory and factory sealed.
#CAYIN A88T MK2 REVIEW SERIES#
My MC275 series V, is beautiful, and arrived without a scratch, 10/10. It stood the test of time for 45yrs, and still going strong. The amp is a legendary, and not is a small way. The reissue MC275 was said to push closer to 90w/ch.
As happy as I was, I wanted the real McCoy and see what I was missing. The Cayin at 45w/ch was loud enough for normal listening, but I wanted a little more emotion for those special times.
did the real Mac sound more life like? I wanted a little more power too, for when the mood stuck me. I was comparing apples to oranges, but nevertheless, it got me thinking. That didn't bother me much since I was not comparing a live presentation to it's recording and thereafter recreation. However after going to some live events, I noticed live music, at least the amplified kind, was more of a wall of sound ( Jazz, orchestra, soft rock) rather than the distinct detailed space we audiophiles crave and adore. On good material, I am transported into the front row. The imaging and soundstage are very believable. Cymbals resonate like they should, no glare, highs aren't rolled off, and bass is respectable. I have been very happy with the Cayin integrated, (as a pure amp) it is wonderful. Frankly I find myself having to verify too much, so this is my first post in hoping knowledgeable posters might shed some light. To a fault, I'm a natural skeptic, I test everything. I wish to learn, separate fact from fiction, and hopefully gain some objective insights. First off, I can see how this might cause some controversy, and that is not my intention.
