Its all about the Music
Nice work man, thats a great bit of engineering. As it happens, I just took one out and took it apart, got it under the microscope to inspect the contacts, well, this amp must have low hours and been stored somewhere dry.
Looks brand new in there, contacts are pristine!!
The power-amp operation switch and function switches, well, thats another story, thats where all the issues were coming from, especially the power-amp operation switch, that was really bad....
So its all running, all inputs working, bias, DC offset and all reg voltages are good.
I just cranked it up through the JBL4412's I have in the Lab here, Holy Crap!! McIntosh what?? What an unbelievable sound out of this thing!!
Highly recommend hearing one if anyone hasn't......Simply stunning!! Its one of those "hearing things in the Music you've never heard before moments!! I wonder what the tuner sounds like??
Well, it looks like this at the moment, but I am putting the front on it now....
Have to completely dismantle those switches to clean them properly as we have seen time and time again....
