No need for MAC owners to become defensive,Tater`s main point is his friend NEVER listens to the system

Thank you Charles.

Who wants an ugly girlfriend? If you have a beautiful girlfriend and she keeps quiet.......

I love my mc275. No meters. I suppose there is better, but I would probably have to pay 3 times as much to get all that this amp gets right. It works very well with my Pass X1.

There's nothing worse than being out of town and having your watch battery go dead, while your waiting for your flight. With a Rolex or other Swiss watch with a mechanical/automatic movement, there is no worry. Yes, it may be a second or two off, but they keep running. TV stations don't even start on the second like they used to. Before we could by atomic clocks cheap, I set my watch to a short wave radio. Not for 30-40 years. Maybe Mac people like that part. Their amps seem to keep on going too.

I think McIntosh earnestly considers the addition of the meters on it's product. For those buying any upscale product many factors come into play. For audio gear, the sound, the touch and built quality are some of the those.
Love the meters on my Mac, and love the meters on my Carver. Of course I also like too see turntables a spinning and Reel to Reel a rotating. It is is all part of the fun and magic of a stereo system. It adds to the pride and enjoyment of the ownership experience. Happy listening and looking.
