For whatever it's worth, I've never had anything but stellar experiences with my Mc products or Mc service (only needed them once, to send me new packaging, they were quick and easy to get a hold of).
Mcintosh c2600 issue
I purchased a Mcintosh c2600 pre amp to match my MC452 and MCT450 not even 2 years in, the small light (led) for the (tone) space is flickering .Not a huge deal but damn $ 6k plus and already a problem . I do love the look of Mcintosh however the most simple part of equipment is the face plate lights . Its sad to see this and to have to pay upwards of $350 plus have it sit somewhere for a month is less than inspiring and all for a 2 dollar LED . I know it seems petty but do I have to spend 150k to expect quality ? Just a rant cause I do love my main stereo system dearly and expected quality . Meanwhile I have a crappy Sony receiver still going strong after 30 years . I wish I was skilled at soldering but Im a novice . Forgive my ranting but with everything going on in America lately it seems like all is going to hell ! I hope this LED issue is the least of my problems. Just curious if this is a common issue....
