Inserisci il tuo testo...Hello to all audiophiles, I am writing from Italy, I am the owner of a Mcintosh ma8900 and he has a problem, it does not start anymore, the red standby light remains on. The Italian importer MPI advised me to try to hold down the reset button and also to unplug and reconnect the power cable after several hours, but nothing to do. The warranty has expired from January 2021. The technician in ITALY tells me that it could be a firmware problem. My question is the following: these are defects that some Mcintoshes have, but how is it possible that they cannot do better. I have had Accupahse in the past and never a problem. A greeting
MA7900 anyone experience problems with firmware ?
Just joined the forum, so greetings fellow audiophiles. I have an MA7900 that I purchased in 2016. A little over a year later I had an issue where it would not power up. Standby light was illuminated but when power button was pushed... nothing.
Checked the fuse and unplugged it thinking it may be a standby power issue or fuse was shot, but to no avail. Took it to Audible Elegance (Cinci - good people) and they had it repaired under warranty and said it was a firmware update. Well, the same thing (seemingly) happened today. Good fuse, same symptoms. Unfortunately, warranty expired 3 mos. ago. Pretty disappointed, have always thought McIntosh was solid, trouble free gear. No complaints for the sound quality and the DAC is top notch. Please let me know if there are any of you that have experienced the same/ similar issue. Many thanks.
