I am thinking to buy the MSB M202. Please may I have your feedback on these items?
I have TOTALDAC , Spectral, MIT Oracle, Avalon Eidolon system.

Excellent amps. They are very 'Class-A sounding' - a bit on the warm side, very smooth and fluent. Bass is a bit tubey, as in all amps that lack a global negative feedback. That, bus slightly reduced transcient speed was the only drawback I could think of when comparing to Spectral DMA-260 in my system (or to the dartzeel I still have). The MSB monos simply sound more real and more palpable.
At the current S/H prices, they are a steal (MSB recently introduced a slightly upgraded version, that has a 100VA bigger transformers and costs ... a whooping 50% more ! they have probaby figured out that the amps were too cheap to draw atention of serious audiophiles).
I have a very limited experience with MIT cables and their interaction with electronics. A fellow audiophile on Polish forum uses MIT with his top of the trange T+A electronics (all tube) and swears by MIT. Best if you could try before buying.
hello,
caliaripaolo, did you buy the amps?
i am also wondering about buying msb amps, ihave eggleston andra 3, which i drife effortless with lamm 1.2 references. I did however try other amps with the Eggleston which did not manage to get the full potential out of the speakers in the bass region. Will the msb have any problem here?
Anyone else for the M203 s?
I will hear them next week with the diamond dac, looking forward to it!
I would say the heat output is similar to my old Lamms M1.2R monos or Pass X-350.5 (multiplied by two, as Pass is a stereo amp) or ARC Ref 110.
