Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear

Tennis actually requires more agility, concentration and endurance than almost any other sport known to man. Irrelevant, I should say not! Now Mcintosh gear on the other hand...maybe so:)

Dave,
I think you missed the underlying message.

audiophiles are not defined by the equipment they own.

there is large sample of brands from which to chose.

there is no reason to disqualify the attribute "audiophile" from being applied to a person who owns mac gear.

I am not an audiophile. I am a music-phile. Who has the time to spend listening to a 100k system in this day and age anyways?

I listen to my system about 2 hours a day while dictating (can you guess my profession). No one else in my house (nor my wife) has keys to my system nor do they want to as they are busy playing with their ipods, etc.

Suits me fine.

Dave b, you need your ears cleaned out, maybe lay off the funny cigarettes,the hard cold truth is that the Krell 400Xi Integrated with their SACD Standard has PALE compared to Mac's C-200 and ANY new Mac amp such as the entry level 252 all driven by a Mac 861 or 871, not even close my friend. Even a Mac integrated SMOKES that Krell, I KNOW for a fact haveing had your Krell pieces here at the same time for months. The Krell gear is not bad, but sounds thin, strained, shouty, full of glare and grit...very HiFi'ish sounding, not relaxed liquid musical clear and 3 dimensional like Mac gear does. Very few can afford to compare gear at home side by side, the BS stops here.
I'd take Mac over ANY supposed high end gear, you name it, I've had it here.
