I would not choose any other company than ACL, since I know you are connected with Mr. Modaferri and you are also nice to work with and that is worth a lot these days. ... Thanks for all the care in sending and dealing with the MR77. E.G., Netherlands |

I bought a McIntosh MX118 Preamp/Tuner. It came with a brand new manual, brand new remote, it was double boxed VERY NICELY. The preamp sound very good with my Thiel CS 2.4 speakers and Velodyne F1800 sub. I will definitely purchase from Audio Classics again. Thanks V.N., TX |

(Kubala Sosna) Cables came today. ..... it's easy to notice the change in tonal balance. Less emphasis on highs, more blended sound. Less aggressive, bright, edgy, abrasive. More mellow, smooth, easier to listen to. I had to check carefully to see if detail was lost, like bow on string, and certain harmonic effects, different from normal overtones. I did hear details but they were part of a blended sound, rather than sticking out of a thin, edgy sound. I would say we're approximating the sound at ACL finally. Very glad, because I was afraid I'd have to spend a fortune: tubes, $6000 cables, etc. A.S., GA. |

Thanks again for your great communication and service for the purchase of the Mcintosh MC7270. I've received it today and it works perfectly. I've been impressed with the outstanding packaging, it would probably survive an atomic disaster ;-) Looking forward to do business with you again. R.M., France |

... very much looking forward to having the MT10/Dynavector! Glad to hear from Tony - he is a wonderful representative for McIntosh. (Or as my wife says, "it turned out to be a very expensive tour!" but well worth it.) My wife has even told her lady friends how impressed she was with McIntosh and the wonder of old-fashioned American engineering and craftsmanship. She was equally impressed by all of you at Audio Classics as well and we both very much enjoyed our time spent with you. Now that I've just loaded my 350th CD into the MS750 (only a thousand to go!) we wonder how we every got along without that wonderful beast. .... thank you for everything and please give our best to the rest of the gang at AC! C.&J.G., IL |

I received the MC275 amp yesterday, and am enjoying it while I type. Thank you very much for the speedy service, and answering all my
questions. Even more impressive is finding out you're the son of Gordon J. Gow former President of McIntosh Labs, Inc. I was wondering if the name was any relation, then saw that on the Audioclassics web site. How cool! Your family's work has produced much joy in the world -- Thank you
very very much :) L.H., WA |

We wanted to thank you again for your work on our MA6900. We really enjoyed meeting you, and we sincerely appreciate your superb work on our amplifier, and the kindness you showed in arranging the McIntosh factory tour. Your generosity and the courtesy that we received at Audio Classics is unparalleled in our experience, and we want you to know how pleased we are. S.E., PA |

....everything arrived this afternoon and appears to be in great shape. Loved the palletized shipping method. ... Thanks again for the great job you did pulling all of this together and getting it shipped so beautifully. C.G., IL |

... thank YOU, for acting professionally and responsibly. I promise to do further business with you. I am thinking of ordering the MX 134 (if still available), within a couple of months. And many more pieces of equipment. And my most sincere thanks for providing the Marsh remote. It is the attention to such details that makes a great business concern or keeps any business going. A.D., Morocco |

I received the MX113 yesterday. The packaging is suitable for a nuclear spectrometer and the unit arrived looking like it just came from the showroom. Hooked it up to the MC2100 amp and Mc XR5 speakers and it sounds great and looks great. The tuner wheel feels like a gyro. Hard to believe this thing is almost 30 years old. Thanks for the suggestion and the great service. S.M., NC |

As I wrote earlier, our MA6900 encountered the same sort of failure that others have described - a sudden loss of output, with both meters pegged at the top of the scale, and both powerguard lights on. After discussing the issue with Audio Classics' Ryan Kilpatrick, my wife and I decided to make the three-hour drive up to Vestal with the amplifier... Ryan was ready for us when we arrived shortly after the store's opening, and he immediately went to work on the amplifier. We relaxed in one of the sound rooms, enjoying a superb McIntosh system, and in short order, Ryan confirmed that the problem was a faulty capacitor, and he assured us that he could complete the repair during our visit. Ryan also let us know us that he had quickly arranged a private tour of the McIntosh factory while he made the repair on our amplifier! At McIntosh, we met Chuck Hinton, who took us through the factory, providing terrific background information, and kindly answering our many questions. We got to see transformers being potted, as well as the fabrication of those famous glass faceplates. Chuck concluded our tour with a listening session in the McIntosh theater, and words just are not adequate for the experience - what a system! On returning to Audio Classics, Ryan had the amplifier wrapped, and ready to go, confirming that the repair had been successful, and our trusty MA6900 checked out perfectly. In a nutshell, this was the single best customer service experience that my wife and I have ever enjoyed - far beyond anything that we expected, and clearly a standard for others to shoot for. Ryan and the folks at Audio Classics could not have been nicer - they are genuinely friendly people with a passion for their work, and a high regard for their customers - their relationship with McIntosh is quite special, and it shows.We join the many who sing their praises - thanks, Ryan, Chuck, Audio Classics, and McIntosh!

Thank you for your great service. I recently pruchased a turntable and cartidge and the cartridge was defective. (You) sent me a new cartridge and I'm returning the defective cartridge. Evertyhing is now working beautifully. I wish your store was closer. The catalogue will be the next best thing. Thanks again, P.D. CT
Ps Are their good divore lawyers in your area? When my wife sees what I'm spending on this equipment I'm going to need one! |

Just to let you know, the C45 arrived in good condition .... It's been a long time since I bought a piece of McIntosh equipment, and I was happy to see the beautiful construction and marvelous sound quality are still as great as ever. Thanks for handling this for me at Audio Classics. It was a very fair price for a wonderful unit. R.P., Canada |

..... We had a great time...sorry to have consumed so much of your afternoon. ...she really enjoyed being involved with the speaker review/selection process and the factory tour really got her attention as to why I'm so attached to the Mac equipment. Buddy...I don't think the visit could have been more productive! Just Great! .... All in all I trust your judgement about this equipment and I think you now have a pretty accurate idea what it is in sound that I'm looking for. I've just got to find the money. Thanks again for all your time my friend...be in touch soon. N.R., VA |

... thanks for your help purchasing the MVP851 CD/DVD player. It's paired with my vintage Mc MA6200 integrated amp and sounds great with the Klipsch speakers. First DVD was the Moody Blues Live at Albert Hall and it rocked the house! The packing job and service were first class. S.M. NC |

..... I have my system complete now and you a new customer for life. Thanks a lot A.A., FL. |

I want you to know that my interactions with you and your whole gang there at Audio Classics have been nothing but friendly, courteous, and as helpful as I could ever hope for. I very much appreciate your guidance in steering me towards some excellent componentry for my audio and video systems: the MC275-V, the C500T and, yes, the MC207. R.M., HI

I wanted to thank you and everyone at Audio Classics and McIntosh for a fantastic afternoon yesterday! We had a terrific time! It was great to meet you and the rest of the gang at AC as well as everyone at McIntosh. It was an experience we won't forget! As for the MCD500, I wasn't prepared for just how good it would sound cold, right out of the box. It's amazing! It makes the Theta sound broken. Seriously! It only got better as I listened until way past when I should have been in bed. Yes, I made it to work this morning but it wasn't easy.Thanks again for all of your hospitality and please pass our thanks on to Chuck too! K&Z.L.,PA |
