Ques on Mcintosh and Power Meters

Why not just buy the Led's from mcintosh that they use on the new ones, and solder them in to replace the bulbs all together? Should be 2 wires just the same as the old bulb sockets, and will just draw even less power than the old bulbs that were in there.. Bulbs and the LED's are also just simple DC devices.. I would do this mod myself if I still had Mcintosh gear.

AudioClassics is working through the Mac line with led replacement kits. You may want to check for availability on your model.

"Which is better?" LED's!!!

Whay are LED's better? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I'm sure you're not hearing an audible difference by saving about 1-1/2 watts of juice at best

Two MC-2105 Amps bought new. 29 years later, none, not even a one burned out. I decided to change all Lamps to the same original Lamps 5 years ago, just cause I seen a bit of haze on the inside of the Glass Faces by the Meters, they needed cleaning, and figured, if I'm going in, might as well change Lamps while I'm in there.

Next time I'l need to change them? About 24 years from now. (maybe) Mark

LED's are better simply because they last much longer. You should be very pleased that your bulbs performed so long Mark.
