McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer

24K Plated HiFi 🤮

@holmz,

Nope, not cancel culture at all.  Do you even know what cancel culture is?

That is why I said “Audio equivalent” (of cancel culture).

It seems like many people want to get threads chopped off at the point that they turn in a direction that they do not like.

And any voice that is not in the mainstream, gets shut down in politics, and many other places.

It is like adults cannot share differing opinions in a mature fashion and need the parents of admins, to just shut down threads and give timeouts.

I have some Mc gear, and I like the look of it.
I like it because I can lord it over others, and everyone knows it should be good… so it is great for social signalling.

But I am kind of a moron, and generally grumpy… so there is that.

Honest works for me.. I'm a grumpy ol fart until I see the neighbor lady. She's a peach for sure. 

I'm no party pooper. Who cares what others think, they have the right to be wrong and ashamed, and all about the same thing. Mcintosh is, like JELLO, there is always room for Mac. :-)

I have owned many MAC components during the 60s, 70s. I even worked for several high end audio shops during the time. MAC gear is good stuff made well but just not the best sounding gear for the money.  Back in the 60s and 70s the MAC had tech that would travel their dealers and test and fix any gear they made that was quite nice of MAC. However, that was when Macintosh own the company and that perk no longer exist as MAC is owned by some Japanese company.

  MAC gear is still built well and only the ultra high-end gear is built to a higher quality.  Regardless of how much you love your MAC gear it's not the top sound gear buy a long shot. It's not bad sounding either just not near the top either. However, it's way good enough to listen to music. Would I trade my Pass Labs for MAC no way.  So if you own it an enjoy it that is what counts, listening to music not to equipment.
