Did you try it with a Grado (RS line for example). Is there any noise?

Not yet! But we do have them so I’ll try them out today

Guys! We ordered way more than McIntosh could build, they were only able to get 40 units out in the last run for the entire world market. As a result McIntosh is now back ordered by a huge number of units. TSAV is 1/3 of their current back orders. I think this amp is going to be a strong player in the headgear world.

more updates and video coming

How warm does the MHA 200 get?

How warm does the MHA 200 get?

Ours has been on and running for about 1.5 hours. A tiny bit of heat from the tube side but very little heat

Good news, thank you.

So they've arrived in Houston as well - going to hopefully give it a listen and pick it up tomorrow - will report back!

So it arrived!!

just set things up…will post detailed listening impressions with other owners in a separate thread. But I’ll tell you now this thing is fantastic, detailed and incredibly musical with tons of punch…a home run in my opinion!

Beautiful amp. Enjoy it. (My son is also a Zeeb!)

Post away sir!

I'm curious whether going balanced will make a difference...my understanding is that the MHA-200 is not a balanced topology...rather that the XLR inputs and outputs are summed (Jason please correct me if I'm wrong...) But this still should allow for long interconnect runs - which is still nice...

I’m not sure this is true. In order to reduce noise on a long balanced run, the two components interconnected require differential circuitry in order to cancel out any noise picked up by the cable.

On another note, I’m looking forward to hearing from owners how they like their purchase as well as lots of pictures!

I’m so bummed that the units delivered so far are not headfiers .....never even heard of it. Maybe 1 guy. I know we have some headfiers getting them in the next few days

You beat me warrenpchi! But I posted to your thread...agree this thing is incredible!

My dealer in Houston ordered 6 units...he got 3...I got one of them luckily.

I was prepared to be underwhelmed...the opposite occurred!
