There are two people that wind transformers at McIntosh. That fact that the amp doesn’t buzz at the dealer is proof the transformer isn’t defective. Weather or not there is noise on your line I am unable to debate. There is not a part of the McIntosh factory that works on the “cheaper” equipment. I can say this because I have toured the factory twice. I do think McIntosh should do the right thing and give you all your money back. They won’t be losing anything other than a quick refurbishing and it would reinstore your faith in the company. Shame on them for not living up to their reputation in satisfying every customer.
