McIntosh gear may also not be used in some demo's because dealers know how immature and stupid some Audiophiles are, so why bother putting any equipment in a demo that will just turn off snobs, idiots and un-informed Audiophooles, maybe the company has a policy about its use gear, threads like these although alot of fun to read remind me how insane, foolish, and simple minded a far too high majority of people in this hobby can be, so go on freeze your CD'S. Cook your cables, place rocks on your gear, clocks in your room, paint your disc's green, lift your cables off the ground with $60 Pine, Cryo your listening chair and enjoy the music.
Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh?
With the exception of some of there tube gear, not many really use this stuff(or admit to it anyway), I am mainly referring to there amps. They look pleasant, they look good on paper and have the price of high end gear, but I seldom hear anyone claiming to like or one day dreaming of owning McIntosh. I have never really listened to there stuff, no good word of mouth sort of scares me away from it, the only people who like it are those who sell it, an uncanny coincidence? I don’t know. Sorry it this has been covered many times in the past, I ran a search and could not find anything.
