Re: thanks for the Worst - I wonder now what was the biggest revelation

I've had plenty of ear openers, including the first time I heard a pair of properly powered and positioned Klipschorns, first time I heard Stax electrostatic earpeakers, my MAC1700 tube receiver's FM playback, etc.

A real revelation occurred when I installed my newly purchased McIntosh MA6200 integrated amp in place of my Pioneer SX-980 receiver in my system. I had thought the Pioneer sounded pretty decent until then. The McIntosh simply blew it away: the bass reproduction was at least 50% tighter, more dynamic, and better defined. I sat there and shook my head as I A/B'd them.

I have had numerous other astonishing (at least to my ears) improvements, but the MA6200 truly stands apart.
