MAC Autoformers?


Someone is selling a MAC MA6500 Integrated claiming its superiority over the Ma6600 due to the fact that "it does not have the degrading autoformer design found in the MA6600". That is the first time I've heard a claim that the autoformer was a hindrance to better performance; I thought quite the opposite. What do you MAC Maves think?

one thing I greatly value is a collegial, challenging, supportive and sharing attitude in the user AND supplier community....I did not know Roger did the bias forming....also..so I will add to my list of collaborative yet competitive firms RM, Vandersteen, Audio Quest, Aesthetix, Brinkmann, ......I am sure the list goes on....


i am rebuilding a set of ESL63.... to learn but also listen to....
will start out with a rebuilt MC240 ( which probably has the best transformers available in 1961 !
anyway, my mentor Richard Vandersteen always says run it on the best sounding tap”
but i can see both a Ralph and a Roger amp in my future....
