mcintosh mc602

Hello all,

If you can find evidence showing that Mac has a patent on their autoformers,I would like to see it as well.

I think they tried to but never succeeded.

I haven't owned any Mac gear in about 25yrs and I certainly don't miss it one bit even the tube amps I had.

We have a fair size audio club in my area and every once a while I get to hear a Mac product of some kind always reminds me of the sound I don't care for.

Properly pairing components together with Impedance matching in mind would never need autoformers,but I do know some folks that just love their Mac gear and wouldn't have anything else.

Kenny.

my mistake on the autoformers. sorry!

Whenever I have heard the MC602 I have been impressed with the power and sound but the amp is a beast in weight and size and I could see hurting myself trying to move it. I am able to move two MC601's individually. 

Pro's - great effortless sound, Con - heavy!  My 501's weigh 98 pounds each, have no handles.  It's like moving a couple of boulders….not good for the back!
