McIntosh to be on How It's Made this Thursday

I watched it too. I also found the transformer part interesting. On a general note, the segment made it pretty obvious that there is a high labor content in the assembly of amplifiers. No wonder so much of this industry has moved off-shore.

I was disappointed that they didn't spend more time. But that is the way How It's Made does things. They do a good job with the time they dedicate to the subject, but I would have liked to see more of the assembly process. I think that McIntosh does so much in house is unique and makes their products special. Not to be misunderstood, I did enjoy it very much, but was left with a thirst for more. Miner42, I do have that tour on my bucket list, but it is a long trip and it may never happen. Maybe McIntosh will someday release some videos on YouTube.

Watched it on dvr. It made me want to buy a McIntosh tube amplifier for sure. I would never drop the cash for one of those however, already spent way to much over the years in the pursuit of a good sounding music system. The segment was so short it was an appetizer. Really adds to the respect of McIntosh for their tube amps.

Theo, I am with you, made me want more nonetheless, it was worth it - thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for the heads up on that. Would have been nice to have the whole show dedicated to the Mac tour. I still don't understand the l.e.d.'s under the small signal tubes. I guess I'm old school.
