I scored a Macintosh MC-275 power amplifier at a house sale. Did not know much about it but I liked the look. The guy also had an MX 110 and he wanted $900.00 for both. I just wanted the power amp and offerd $450 but he would not budge. My girlfriend (read enabler) said she would buy the preamp so I could get the 275. I told her I didn't think the preamp was worth it but she knew how much I wanted the 275 and I guess I should marry her fast.
Oh yeah, the year befor we went to a church sale where I saw a Mcintosh MX 113 and a MC-2505 for $25 dollars each. I thought they were cool looking even though the glass was cracked on the 2505. I left because I could not tell if they worked. I thought about it and went back 45 minutes later to see that they had sold. Getting back to me office I had a phone message from my girlfriend that she had bought something for me. You guessed it, she had called a local audio dealer and told him what she had seen. Thus my entry into the world of audiophle maddness.
