ZD542,
No need to imagine. It happened! I still have a Mac MX-120 pre and an MC275 Mk6. However, my enthusiasm for Mcintosh products has diminished. You needn't defend McIntosh to me, I still have faith in their pre/power products. Reliability of their digital products is a question mark. I am certain that my experience is not unique. If you doubt it, start a thread to find out.
