Why High-End Audio Uses Amplifiers

Think of an amplifier as the heart of the premium audio system. Its job is to boost the audio signal from your source—whether vinyl, CDs, or streaming—to produce rich, immersive sound. Unlike basic amplifiers, high-end models like McIntosh bring every detail to life in your favorite tracks, ensuring a listening experience that closely mirrors the artist’s original vision.
