Here are a few more pics, OPPO UK popped in yesterday for a couple of hours for me to play with the PM-1's and the HA-1 as I couldn't make the UK launch event unfortunately, have to say that the amp is pretty awesome, love those VU meter's, drove the HE-6's with ease also so not a bad start :-)...

Here is a little more info from the What HiFi Site, the amp to ship in June for $4500, headphones first part of this year for $2000, interesting times :-)   http://www.whathifi.com/news/mcintosh-introduces-new-compact-amps-media-bridge-and-headphones-at-ces-2014  

I have long lusted after some Mcintosh kit, I have to say that this has got me a little excited 

Great review of the LCD-XC's MacedonionHero, I was lucky enough to get both LCD-X's and XC's for demo for the shop just before Christmas and when I first listened to them both I was really drawn to the XC's for some reason, I couldn't believe how open, spacious and clean they sounded, I have...

Who said that there isn't a Santa Claus, my LCD-X's and XC's have just arrived, perfect timing 

Hi MattTCG,   It is a very clean and un-coloured signature, not to the level of the HD800's, definitely got a little richness in the mids thanks to the Planar driver, with a very natural and open presentation overall with a very smooth treble. From what I understand they are still playing with...

I tried really hard to get the price from them but the guys were keeping tight lipped so I really haven't got a clue but I would say in the UK they will be a £1000+ and deservedly so as I would say they are closer to the LCD-3 than the LCD-2, definitely when it comes to definition and a really...

Hi Guys,   I have just been extremely privileged and just had the main guys and developers in from OPPO and in one of their bags they pulled out a pair of almost ready for production PM-1's, needless to say that I didn't hang about and plugged them straight into a Bursom Soloist for a listen...

Being that I am not a paid up advertiser yet, hopefully soon, I won't put my details here, I will PM you though with my info.   We are expecting stock hopefully a couple of weeks before Christmas, no promises but that is the plan, already sold 2 pairs so I don't think that the initial stock...

I've got everything crossed that it will be awesome, I'm hoping for a real rocking set as I have only seen them once in the past on their farewell tour when they played Sonisphere and Trent decided to play Ballads for the whole gig, it was awesome but you can't beat a good bit of moshing :-)

I have to say guys that I had my first taste of both the Mad Dog and Alpha Dog headphones at the weekend at our headphone open day, Mark the UK Distributor bought them along, we had a good turnout and everyone was really really impressed with both but mainly the Alpha Dog's, I really do not...

Thanks Kevin, your handy work is now on my homepage, AVForums, Facebook, Pinkfish and Wigwam, you'll be famous soon :-)

Thanks for the link, makes an interesting listen, makes you wonder what we are going to get on the UK tour.

Nitin Sawhney - One-Zero Boxset It wasn't cheap but it is definitely one of the best vinyl purchases I have ever made, it was recorded at Metropolis in London using PMC and Bryston and cut straight to vinyl, first time since 1973 or something, sounds sublime   

  This is the tour I have been waiting for, managed to get General Admission Tix for Birmingham on Pre Sale, missed out on London though so will have to try on Friday when they go on general sale, really can't wait to see NIN's again :-)
