what is a true audiophile ? the term is ubiquitous on audiogon, but i have yet to hear a definition.
i will venture an opinion in absence of a definition.
true audiophiles can own just about anything, as long as it suits their preference. if one assumes that audiophile equals prefers virtually accurate presentation, i would say mcintosh tends to design tube components which are close to neutral.
my evidence ? i own an mc 275, which i intend to sell later this month and have reviewed an mc 220 preamp.
