I have seen some Interesting comments about Mcintosh lately

Starting to think Taters is smartroll spelled wrong...

Taters..starting to like you more....

But the Rolex will actually work....
When you need it to..
1961 MC240 never in shop except for a tube or two..been to many a clinic...always makes specs..
Now finally 55 plus years later needs a PS recap..

Wore the input selector switch out on the MX110 Z..had Rimo rebuild it...family treasure I believe were his words.

MC 202, MCD 205, C15 ran a decade with ZERO issues...oh I guess a lightbuld burned out on the amp, fixed that myself..YES the service dept took my call at MAC - which has never gone out of business..

Did the Mac stack sound as good as the ARC and Ayre that partially replaced it ?

no..but in terms of value I would call it a tie.

Sometimes the hobby is not about value..

some of the people...
100' down the Submariner ( no date) always seemed to work, sold it for 2 X what I paid for it....

Bozak, Rudy would certainly beg to differ that Marantz was your only choice.
but he created something..so he was in the ring so to speak.
the critic who has not created..well I think Teddy said that best..

dealer did you wrong wrong by selling to you in clear violation of Mac policy.

My guess is all the new employees replaced by the new greedy capitalist pig owners were not buff enuf to lift the 402 and in a fit of souless zeal voided your warranty so they would not have to lift it out of the shipping crate.. ( seriously my recent anti Mac bias is how massive they are..my back hurts turning the pages of the Absolute Sound...

Sell the watch, memories vs save the children, is this a choice...?

Lets see of all the cars the Audi spent the most time on the flatbed headed to the dealer, followed by the grey market 328, then the 996 turbo ( actually tied with 993 ), AMG one trip for broken tranny mount, and a Boxster S with Zero...but it must be my ego..

i forgot mamas G550 with 110 k has Never been to the shop except routines...but she tends to not whale on the apex.....

i also forgot to rail on Ducati...even tho I cant actually go fast on a real road racing bike...

I have Brooks MC -250, he liked it enough to collect it...
