NoTimeFor- Good Post! Thanks! John

As a potential headphone amplifier purchaser and McIntosh fan, the MHA 200 has been on my radar. Of course, all of this about "volume" control has been of concern. Many pages back a west coast McIntosh dealer addressed this issue. So, it appears the MHA 200 was designed to be just a headphone...

Randy and Hutch- Thanks for the replies. Randy, you also addressed something else in my mind as the connecting the HPA directly to a DAC or running it through a pre-amp. Enjoy the Sounds, JohnJ

Randy- Great Post! Thanks! Thought I was settled for the MHA 200 but this has me intrigued. Can you comment on the volume control options? (Pot vs Atten) JohnJ

Nice Review! Thanks for posting.

Just made a pair of interconnects and a set of 18 foot headphone cables using 2534. Pleased with both.

Well Jonathan, I will second your motion. As an avid DIYer, my dealings with VH Audio have been stellar as well! Cheers, John

ABQ2- Good write up on your impressions. Given your comments (and those of others) on the volume control, the MHP 200 appears to be more a headphone amp first and pre amp second. As far as its sound signature vs the Marantz, there is also the element of solid state vs tube that may be a...

Good Info Jason. Autumn is a beautiful time in upstate NY. A ride to Audio Classics for an audition may well be forth coming. Thank you for taking the time to be an additional source in this decision making process. John

Jason- Appreciate your input. Currently, balanced output 1 of the 1100 feeds a pair of MC 75's (for mids/highs) that bi-amp to a 275 for the woofers. So... I surmise, it'd be correct to use the 200 on balanced output 2 of the 1100? This would then allow all sources available on the 1100 to...

CrowBar & Thanatos- Thank you for your replies. Yes, the headphone section of the 1100 is very good and quite pleasing to my ears. Sitting tight on a headphone amp for now sounds lie a good idea. As an aside... Over the past month or so, I have put together two DIY cables for the LCD 3's...

Hello- New member here. I am currently considering a dedicated headphone amp and the Mc 200 is certainly at the top of my list. So might I ask what may it offer with Audeze LCD 3's beyond my c1100? Of course I realize mileage will vary depending on listening conditions and preferences. Just...

Hello From the East Coast (USA) Just registered today but have been checking out the site for a little while. Some may know of me from other places (Aficionado/Shark/Circle) with a similar handle. While I am not an all the time headphone user, I do enjoy my Audeze LCD 3's and currently...
