Headphoneus Supremus
I hook mine up directly to my car battery, it really lifts the veil.
Have to clean up all corrosion on the batteries - with pure O2 at 15 psi and San Pellegrino (Saratoga in a pinch)....sorry, silly night

It performs better than DACs costing $40k that I've heard...hardly overpriced from that point of view.

Misread the post, it seems the question is about the adapter box and not the amp. Also wondering if direct connection is possible as the adapter just gets in the way.Debating if it's worth picking up an adapter box to try this w/ Susvara.. on one hand I'm curious, on the other hand it's probably overkill and will serve my speakers better. Perhaps not worth the hassle? Or maybe it is..
I say it's worth it, get it. The only question is the speaker adapter box, if that's really necessary or it just gets in the way.

Is it me or the way u took this photo that makes the tubes look like something from Arkham City’s Ace Chemicals
Lol, it's hard to photograph this amp, pics don't do it justice it's quite a looker in person.
I know some have said resistor box degrades sound but I've also read that only SS amps can be connected direct, whereas tube taps are not safe direct and may damage the amp. I don't know for sure as I've never tried either, but it seems too risky w/o the box.
@dleblanc343 said he uses direct on his MC225 so I'm assuming maybe it's fine, but then again this would be 75W/ch vs 25 if that makes a difference.
Seems safer to just take a potential SQ hit w/ the box rather than risk damage. Then again if I'm taking an SQ hit w/ the box, is it even worth trying? The more I think about it, the more I'm leaning towards just leaving it alone in my 2-ch.
I had that amp in my speaker system for several years to drive Harbeth SLH 5+ speakers. It did quite well and I liked it. I only sold it because I upgraded my speakers to the much bigger Harbeth M40.1 and I wanted a lot more power in my big room. I‘m using a McIntosh MC452 to drive my 40.1 speakers. You could call McIntosh to ask them your question. They always have technical support for questions.Debating if it's worth picking up an adapter box to try this w/ Susvara.. on one hand I'm curious, on the other hand it's probably overkill and will serve my speakers better.
