Audio Classics has consistently provided me excellence in service and equipment for over 30 years and is second to none. My new from Audio Classics MAC4100 is more beautiful sound from Binghamton and Audio Classics in the house to go along with my other “Black Beauties” from Binghamton and Audio Classics. Ryan Kilpatrick is the best…C.G., IL |

Just a note to thank you for the great service. The amplifier works great and I'm enjoying the music once again. S.G.,VA |

You guys did a great job on my mc-240. Amazing sounding 50 year old amp. Very happy. Thanks again. J.N., NY |

I've listened the MC2105 and C28 for several hours since returning home. They sound great. Thank you for getting these done ... and doing such a fine job. I appreciate your help and will certainly pass on my experience to others looking for McIntosh pieces to be worked on. D.C., N |

I appreciate you and your teams effort to help me. T.O. OH |

Owning early vintage McIntosh audio equipment is akin to having a ‘67 Mustang in your garage. There is a significant amount of responsibility in owning both. They should be kept looking their best, and they must always be fully operational. It takes a little time, and sometimes it costs a little money. This commitment will insure a reward of sweet music with mellow depth, vitality, and clarity. Those of us who are fortunate enough to own vintage McIntosh audio equipment are equally fortunate to have the good folks at Audio Classics available to us. They are McIntosh people who fully understand the McIntosh customer. To begin a repair or maintenance process, Audio Classics will sell the customer a tried and true shipping box system which is custom designed for the specific component along with clear directions for packaging to assure that the equipment is fully protected during transport. They provide an accurate estimate to complete the necessary repair along with a lengthy bench test and calibration to return the component to factory specifications. I have had a number of customer/vendor interactions with Audio Classics, and they have always met and/or exceeded my expectations. T.W., MD |

... The sound coming out of my speakers is stunning. Everything I had hoped for. Just wanted to express my thanks to everyone involved including the lead tech who brought my 4300v back to spec, to the person who packed my 4300v as though it were a a rare vase from the Ming Dynasty, and and special thanks to Dave Newmark who knows how to look after a customer from initial inquiry right through to after delivery service. This is my second purchase from your company. I would recommend you folks heartily to anyone I know. I can only wonder what my 3rd purchase from you guys is going to be! M.S., Canada |

I've had some time to use the C28 and thought I'd get back to you with my impressions. I am very pleased! The amp is as good or better than new, and I'm sure I will get many years of great service from it. Knowing that makes it easy to amortize the investment I've made. Thank you to you and to your tech(s). I'm glad to see the passion for this old analog gear, and I'm happy to patronize such dedicated professionals. D.H., CA |

Receiver FM sounds superb ! Thanks for everything ! W.F., OH |

I reinstalled my C26 into my system ...and have had it on constantly since then. Thanks again for the incredible service. After the overhaul it sounds noticeably clearer and with the new gold I/O RCA jacks, faceplate, and side trim you’d never guess it was manufactured in 1972. The work you did was top notch and after such fantastic service and unbelievably quick turnaround time, I would never take my precious gear anywhere but Audio Classics. C.Z, NY |

I just got my C-28 back from you after having a drop-out problem fixed. WOW!! The C-28 looks like new and sounds fantastic. R.P. VA. |

I just wanted to let you know that I received the C37 and I'm enjoying it very much. It sounds and works great. Thanks for the great work, A.M., PA. |

... after more than a year with it, I am extremely happy with the C20. Your tech did a masterful job on the updates. It seems to get better every time I turn it on. LP listening is more enjoyable than ever. Even some of my audio-snob friends have started watching and waiting for a C20 on ebay for a reasonable price. C.J., CO |

would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff for a job very well done in the restoration of my C28, MC2205 and MR78 some time back...........The strapped pallet shipped back to me was so beautiful, I didn't want to open it up right away.......Your shipping technique is unmatched...........Nothing short of an explosion or fire could cause any damage to units shipped via your packing methods..........All is well and the units are looking and sounding, at least to my ears, like they did in 1973.........Thanks again for making the decision to have you ship them back to me a "no-brainer"...........
I also very much enjoyed the book about the Amplifier Clinics, of which I took advantage a few times at Stuart's Audio in Westfield, NJ. J.G., PA |

Great job! I cannot believe how quiet and clearer it sounds, and obviously how noisy it must have been. Thank you. D.S., NY

I received my MC2105 on Friday and just have to say the packaging was incredible and as a result arrived in perfect condition. I hooked it up and all I can say is the sound is amazing in comparison to what I had before. It is amazing what you guys were able to do with this amp. I could not be any happier with the work or service I have received from you guys. J.F., WV |

Not sure what you are paying Ryan, but if you don't know (and I'm sure you do), you are getting him cheap. I've dealt with Ryan on several past Mc purchases.....most recently on the repair of my MC501's. As usual, he did an OUTSTANDING job. If you look on ANY Mc audio forum, you'll see that Ryan has become "the face" for your company. Please be sure to share with him, he did a fantastic job on the repair of my 501's. Congrat's on having such a wonderful employee. J.W., IN.

UPS just dropped off my MX-113 that I had restored at Audio Classics. ... The difference is amazing on much more detail and balance I have again with this tuner/pre-amp. The folks at AC did amazing work and even provided me with the specs report of how well it now tests out. I am so happy with my set up now. I think I am done for a little while on upgrades and will just enjoy this sweet McIntosh sound for a few years to come. J.F., WV

... thank you for the tour of the facilities and the tube work on my preamp. It was a great pleasure to meet and be greted by you and your wonderful staff. I do not think I would have driven 428 miles roundtrip if I did not have great faith in the integrity and workmanship of your fine facilities. The recommendation to change the stock tubes for good quality Teles/Siemens has made a hugh difference on my rig.... Thanks for a wonderful experience C.A., NY

Got the 5100 back this afternoon, and it is all set up and sounds perfect. Thank you very much for your and your team's attentive fast service--i am so happy. Old-school service--there is nothing like it. J.B., MA

C2200 repair: It sounds fantastic just like it did all these years. When I opened the box I thought that you guys might have sent me a new Pre-Amp since it was cleaned and packed very well. Its nice to see that in addition to the repairs the entire Pre-Amp has been cleaned - nice to see the gold knobs and end-caps in shiny new condition. Thanks a lot for all your efforts in getting the pre-Amp repaired, cleaned and upgraded to LED lighting. Thanks once again J.M., TX

I just wanted to let y’all know the amp arrived…………….and is in service! Ryan did a fine job on it. I hooked it up this evening and it’s perfect!! Many thanks to all of you – it took a while, but it was worth it. R.O., AZ

... you provided impeccable, professional service for one of my most prized possessions, my McIntosh 2105 power amp. I really appreciate your friendly, professional help and care that you gave to my Mac. The 180 mile drive was well worth the time, as you and Ernie really made me feel at home. I wish I lived closer. Audio Classics is McIntosh heaven!!! You and Ernie made my day, .... it was so nice to get away and devote some time to my audiophile passion. The McIntosh factory tour was a dream come true for me, as I have wanted to do that for a very long time. Thank you again for calling them and setting up the tour for us. I look forward to doing more business with your great store in the near future. T.G., PA |

When you see all the corrections Richard Modafferi had to make to an OPERATING unit to fix past poorly done repairs one can only come to the conclusion that having him work on MAC tuners is NOT AN OPTION BUT A NECESSITY FOR BUYING ANY MAC VINTAGE TUNER. In the tuner shootouts site it's obvious that testing a 40 Year Old functioning MAC tuner does not represent all it can be! R.P., IL

I just received my MAC1700 yesterday and have just finished setting it up with my JBL Sovereign II speaker system and it sounds wonderful!!!!!!! Thankfully, my best friend... insisted that I send my unit to you instead of using local McIntosh repair services. I can't wait to hook them up to my JBL Olympus system, but for now I will just relax and enjoy listening to the crystal clear music.
Thanks for a job well done...make that thanks for a job MORE than well done! C.W., IL

I can't believe how good this tuner sounds after the mod. This is so incredible. I had expected some subtle differences but this is just too fantastic. Thank you so much. N.D., VA

The MR-78 returned home yesterday ..., as predicted. It worked perfectly right away. Thank you very much for the fine work in restoring and reinvigorating my tuner. It looks better than new, and plays better than ever. It also works perfectly, and pulls in more stations though these apartment walls. Stereo lock on all local stations is 100%, a huge improvement. Again, thank you Richard Modafferi for your work. M.H., DC

The MC502 amp arrived a week ago. I've used it every day and it's working flawlessly. Thank you again for great service and a great repair. W.B. OH

Just another "Shout-out" to Mike and everyone at Audio Classics!!! Thanks for the prompt attention to my 1st service issue to complete satisfaction! I have purchased a number of items from "y'all" and have always been happy. I had to have an item serviced recently and just received it back with perfect timing and results. "Shout-out" to the service and shipping departments as well! Thanks, B.L. in TN
