Deciding to buy McIntosh CD Player

No, BUT you'll still like it better, you got it...THE MAC BUG.. It doesn't go away either.. There is NO cure... For the most part NO RISK. The economy can go FLAT Mac will always have resale value above others. No exception.. There was a time when my Mac gear was worth more than my house... No kidding.. Sells quicker than diamonds...

Regards,  Close to 50 years now for me and the ol Macs..

Audio Classics has the McIntosh MCD500 for $3599 and the MCD550 for $4299. Both are used.   If I were looking, this is where I would look.
