New amp in the house

[Toobs]

Hi Guys
Well I finally did it. Yesterday I said goodbye to my 16 year old ARC VT100 In it's place is a brand new Mcintosh MC275VI.

First impression. WOW!!! this amp is gorgeous. Pictures really don't do it justice. It has a very cool retro look to it.

Second impression. This amp is heavy. At 67 pounds, it's 2 pounds heavier than my ARC albeit the overall dimensions are smaller.

Listening impression. Too early to tell as it only has about 5 hours on it, but it ain't bad


One little nitpick. I'm not really fond of the green led's, and I understand they can be turned off.

In due time I will replace the stock tubes with a complete set of gold lions. I just have to recover from the initial $$$ outlay.

Overall, I'm extremely happy and it will only get better:audiophile::audiophile:

WHAT? Bob - congratulations! I love that amp. A true classic.

There is a member here who is also getting a 275 MKVI soon (hint: he's the guy I go to for amp questions!)

Thanks Mike and Brian. Hmmmmm I wonder who that guy could be. Is it possible that his name is Joe:snicker::snicker:

Congrats Bob on the new amps. Enjoy them in good health for a very long time.

Congrats on probably the best amp McIntosh has ever made! Is there an internal switch for turning off the lights on the tubes?

Paul's 275 was beautiful sounding, first time for me hearing one. Congrats Bob.
