I have seen some Interesting comments about Mcintosh lately


These comments come from here and a couple of other sites.

1.The only people that buy Mcintosh gear are one's that just don't listen.
2. Mcintosh is what rich people buy just like Mercedes Benz.
3. Mcintosh relies on generational buyers as a business plan.
4. Mcintosh is known for rebranding products and putting there name on it.
5. Mcintosh has great looks but uses cheap off the bin parts.

I can't think of another high-end company that have so many stereotypes about the brand. On the other hand I can't think of another audio company that has been in business as long.

"Well, let's see, when was the last time you found yourself at 100 m or at 10 Atmospheres pressure? Take your time, you don't have to answer right away.

Any time you dive into a pool with a watch on it will experience pressure equivalent of 100m at water impact."

If that were actually true Olympic 10 meter platform divers' heads would be crushed on entry into the water.  Besides when you dive into the water the watch is orthogonal to the direction of motion.


When was the last time you surfed? My dive watches really get slammed when I surf with them (I'm an old longboarder…3rd in my Senior Longboarder contest rating a few years ago)…orthogonal my ass, but mostly I use dive watches and chronographs to determine elapsed time when grilling food as they are designed to withstand the intense pressure from eaters. 
One wonders why a surfer would even wear a watch.  Are you timing the waves rolling in?
My dad was a watchmaker all his life. He hated expensive watches. Believe it or not, he thought a Timex was all anyone could ask for in an adequate and dependable timepiece. As a kid growing up, I seen plenty of high-end wrist watches and pocket watches...I used to drool all over of them.

Dad used to say " the worth of any timepiece is how accurate it keeps time,not branding or gold content." But,being the smart business man he was... the more expensive the watch... the more money he charged for repairs. He used to say to me that he was "laughing all the way to the bank"... I sure do miss that jag-o five-o.
