I'm not a fan of the brand, but it is impressive they can repair anything they've ever made.

Yes. Audio Research and Wilson Audio can also repair anything they've made. These are all great iconic American brands!

A visit to Audio Classics and then the McIntosh factory makes for a fantastic day!
Finish it off with some Speidies and beverages at a local establishment and you are good to go.

Re: McIntosh factory tour …
Oh my God.... spiedies are amazing... I definitely miss them. When I grew up there, years ago, every bar (and there are ALOT of them in Binghamton) grilled spiedies during the summer.
I have to have at least one piece of Mc in my system. I have had more than a few over the years. Currently my only piece is a phono preamp. At some point might get another amp... but their higher models are far too heavy for me, but then again I am currently very happy with my MBL! So no hurry at this point.McIntosh C49, MC152, MR85, R778 | T+A DAC 8 DSD | KEF LS50 Meta w/S2, KC62 (x2) | Rega RP8, Ania Pro, NEO PSU | Technics SL-1500C | Audio Technica VM750ML | Hexmat Eclipse, Yellow Bird, Molekula, Molekula Mini | Pro-Ject VC-E | Falcon NW PC Server (Roon Core & HQPlayer) | Microsoft Surface Pro 6 (Roon Controller) | Wyred 4 Sound ISO Recovery, DC Recovery | Abyss Diana Phi | Schiit Jotunheim 2 | Astell&Kern SE200 | Oppo BDP105

I upgraded the power supply on my Gigafoil v4 to a Weiss PSU 102. It’s very nice step up. But with the new model, you’re looking at $2000 before even investing in a SOTA linear power supply.
