Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear

Depends on who brainwashed that "true audiophile". Some do some don't. Hi-end dealer is clear example of true audiophile, because brainwash is his direct responsibility to sell product he wants to sell. Everyone knows McIntosh being a sign of wealth and everyone wants it. Once they go to hi-end store, the dealer who don't have McIntosh will do McBrainWash. One brainwashed dood passing same bs onto the next just like chain reaction.

Love those comments Alycat.

Taters - Since you have managed to repeatedly bash McIntosh gear on multiple threads, please enlighten the rest of us and suggest gear that you think is "good" since you obviously feel that McIntosh is "no good".

I think Mc intosh is fine gear. I even own a mint Mr-78 tuner though I never really use it. I just think their turntable looks ridiculous. Meters on a TT. Please.

Taters, you might want to take a closer look at the "meter" (singular) on the MT-10. You'll discover it isn't.

Don't get me wrong; if you don't like what it looks like, that's why there are all those other manufacturers out there.
