McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer


More unvarnished truth from YouTube.

OCD mikey will never sell any gear to a Mac owner, he's lost that fortune. Why hurt your own business like this. 

After decades of audio foolya' I'm finally, thankfully, at the point that when I can listen for hours on end and the music continues to sound lovely, that's all I care about.  I'm done with endless tube rolling, cable comparisons, this component compared to that component, SS vs Tubes vs Hybrids, and the endless roller coaster of searching for some "holy grail" (if you'll excuse my use of that trite and tired phrase.) Endless anecdotal hyperbole serves no one. Can there be a more subjective hobby than ours?

Now I simply want to listen to the music.  I find it liberating.

What most of you are forgetting is that this site does not have just Americans posting. Macintosh is far less purchased outside of America. It appears that some Americans have a loyalty towards the brand; that’s fine.

As I stated in a previous post in this thread, Macintosh is not for me; it would be pretty close to the bottom in the line of hi fi equipment I would consider.

Please do say many things. Is anything I said inaccurate? Is Macintosh as popular in Asia and Europe as the US? Are the only posters who post on this site of US Nationality? Do some Americans have a loyalty towards the Macintosh brand? Are any of my rhetorical questions wrong?
