@bigboypete Good on ya man. I ran a 202 for a decade. When you get it serviced there is i believe an effective LED light upgrade kit now, I replaced the burned out lights in mine, fairly easy to do if you are handy w soldering iron.

Enjoy the music !

Why does this video not have any 'Dislikes'? I would think with the number of negative reviews of his views, it would have more than 'zero'. Things that make you go, hmmm.

I just got my Achilles’ tendon replaced yesterday & I am in a lot of pain, but this Mac thread has brought me joy.  Thanks.  OCD guy is a ranter, but makes some good points.  I say Let him be… I think he is struggling to find a successful business model.  

@urbanwarrior69 ,

I am curious as to why this thread has brought much joy, kindly enlighten me.  

The negative replies are truly funny. I’m curious of what equipment they have tried. I’m definitely not loyal to any brand of equipment because I do consider myself an audiophile/ audio snob. If anyone is in the Southern California area and want to have a listen to my McIntosh MC2301 paired with Wilson Audio Maxx 2 speakers, Cary Audio SLP-05 preamp with the (Ultimate Upgrade, tube rolled, & Cardis wiring inside) and various high end source units to compare and contrast. I’m more than happy to reshape your mind and soul. At the end of the day, it is all about what you like or love and how you match equipment up with each other. Believe me, I’ve been down that road just like some of you trying to find the best matching equipment to give the best possible sound first and looks second. Ask my wife, she hates the look of my speakers but loves how it sounds.

Enjoy the Music!
